Hi Mauricio - the answer is neither. The glazing shown here in this image is frameless structural glass. The sightlines you see are the spacer bars within the double glazed units and a high modular structural silicone seal that is sealing the units together to create a frameless glass wall with connecting frameless glass roof.

You can see the internal view of this glass box here which shows the all glass design a bit better.

Thank you guys you ve provided reassurance and consideration for me to keep the windows as they are... maybe I’m being over critical however if they look fine to others then I’m most definitely swayed to keep them. Do you think I just keep fan light sections with the criss cross design or just change those panes for a cleaner look? They are upvc Also, yes I think shutters will go the fan light line in the window to keep it look as sinple as possible. I recognise that half length window shutters would look odd The reason for shutters is that the first floor front bedrooms look out onto a main road with lots of traffic so I felt that would offer privacy. Additionally I have a very severe dust allergy so whereas curtains may look fab, opening and closing them each night and morning sets my allergy off so I find blinds and shutters have always worked best for me? Unless anyway has similar experience or could suggest alternative as I’m open to other options :)

Thanks Michelle. Yes the configuration needs to be consistent. The profile frame needs to match as close as possible and the colour should match - would you agree? I could treat the rear extension with large sliders as a completely different design and the house as another, like the image below. If my house was a period house I think it would be fine to have a rear extension with slim line sliding aluminium doors and the rest of the house to have a more traditional window. See below. But my house will be render clad chalet bungalow which is more modern, however it is in a conservation area but the planners do not seem bothered by the window material. This picture below shows aluminium sliders (not slimline ones) and as far as I can see the windows above look like flush casements in upvc or timber.

Countertop for window sill?

Definitely, my friend has done just that. So granite worktop and upstand, but where the window is the upstand reaches the window ledge, and then the ledge is covered in granite too. Very easy to keep cleaned and very tidy!

2 schools of thought there,,,But I have seen in a good number of historical properties, even some National Trust ones, that there is an increasing tendency to de-mark the difference between old & new. I think the idea, might be that down the line, the architecture will read more ‘honestly’ as coming from differing periods. Personally I prefer that, than for something to be faux-Victorian, say. Also it doesn’t mean to say the old and new has to have no common thread. Perhaps use of a similar material or similar colours in differing materials? 🧐
