Frameless glass doors and windows connect the outdoors to indoors seamlessly. Hurricane resistant glass is required in many states and are also seismic resistant. Seismic headers (see figure 4) enable to safely transport installed glass on mobile structures. We have proposed the best frameless hurricane resistant glass available in the market which are built by Vitrosca Windows. It is more expensive than standard glass, however, to build a space that seamlessly connects with nature is priceless.
In our plans the sliding windows are placed next to the patio which is facing south to bring in fresh air. The fixed glass panels face north to help deflect cold winds entering the unit from the north.
Frameless design seamlessly connects the interior and exterior space.
