We use face (direct) glazing for all our green oak frames. This method not only secures the glass but also encapsulates the frame, offering reliable weather protection and allowing for the natural movement of green oak as it seasons. It’s a trusted approach because it preserves the traditional appearance of oak framing, protects both the structure and the glazing system from movement-related stress, and helps keep the internal frame dry for long-term durability. Maintenance is minimal, and if the external cover boards ever need replacing, they can be changed easily without affecting the structural frame.
