Silver Quay

Silver Quay is a deluxe holiday home perched on the shores of Lake Windermere. The project required a glazing package that maximised views across the lake while maintaining high thermal performance and resilience to a challenging lakeside environment.

Anglezarke UK delivered the design, manufacture and installation of a bespoke architectural glazing package to Silver Quay on Lake Windermere, including custom glazed flood doors, a flood window, Reynaers Hi Finity screens and a balustrade system. 

The custom double flood doors were carefully engineered to combine safety and practicality; the floor-to-ceiling glazing offers uninterrupted lake views while being able to withstand up to three tonnes of headwater. The system also features a satin-polished high-grade steel frame, structurally bonded heavy-duty double glazing and stainless steel ironmongery, combining durability with a refined finish.

A key element of the project was the conversion of the former boathouse into a bedroom. We designed bespoke floor-level glazed doors to accommodate the natural rise and fall of the lake while remaining fully watertight, demonstrating specialist technical detailing and expertise in challenging waterside environments.
