Glass links are an architectural innovation that redefines the way spaces are connected. These sleek, transparent structures are not just functional walkways; they serve as design elements that enhance the aesthetic, spatial flow, and natural light of a building. At Fluid Glass, we specialise in creating bespoke glass links that seamlessly integrate into diverse architectural styles, making us a leader in this cutting-edge design solution.
Why Glass Links Are Transformative
Glass links are more than connectors; they are architectural statements. Whether used to connect historic and modern buildings or to bridge sections of a contemporary home, they provide a light and airy transition between spaces. By incorporating glass links into your project, you can achieve:
Seamless Integration: Glass links harmonise indoor and outdoor spaces, allowing for an uninterrupted view of the surroundings.
Enhanced Natural Light: Their transparency floods interiors with daylight, reducing the need for artificial lighting and creating an inviting atmosphere.
Architectural Elegance: With sleek, minimalist designs, glass links complement both traditional and modern structures.

Frequently Asked Questions
What are glass links used for?
Glass links are primarily used to connect two separate structures, such as buildings or rooms, while maintaining an open, light-filled aesthetic. They are popular in both residential and commercial projects for creating seamless transitions between spaces.
Are glass links energy-efficient?
Yes, modern glass links are designed with energy-efficient materials, including double or triple glazing, to provide excellent thermal insulation and reduce energy consumption.
How strong are glass links?
Glass links are made with high-strength materials like laminated or tempered glass. These ensure durability and the ability to withstand environmental factors such as wind, rain, and temperature fluctuations.
Can glass links be customised to match a building’s style?
Absolutely. Glass links are highly customisable, allowing architects and designers to adapt them to fit both traditional and contemporary aesthetics seamlessly.
Are glass links safe during extreme weather conditions?
Yes, glass links are engineered to handle various weather conditions, including heavy winds and snow. Laminated glass provides added safety by holding together if it breaks.
Do glass links require a lot of maintenance?
Glass links require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning of the glass panels and occasional checks of the seals are usually sufficient to keep them in excellent condition.
Are glass links suitable for listed or heritage buildings?
Yes, glass links are a popular choice for listed or heritage buildings as they offer a modern, unobtrusive way to connect old and new structures without compromising the original design.
Can glass links include features like doors or ventilation?
Yes, glass links can be customised with additional features such as sliding or pivot doors, ventilation systems, and even integrated blinds for privacy and climate control.
How much natural light do glass links provide?
Glass links maximise natural light, creating bright, airy spaces that reduce reliance on artificial lighting and enhance the overall ambience of the connected areas.
How long does it take to install a glass link?
The installation time depends on the complexity and size of the project. Typically, bespoke glass links can take several weeks to design, fabricate, and install, but Fluid Glass ensures efficient project management and delivery.
