The Boathouse sits on the banks of the River Dart, a tidal river in Stoke Gabriel, Devon. This waterfront property, once a boat repair workshop over 200 years old, now blends contemporary style with its historical roots. At Sieger Systems, we supplied the glazing to make that transformation work. Our solutions enhance views, light, and comfort while respecting the building’s storied past. As such, it’s a great example of riverfront windows.
Preserving Heritage with Modern Structural Glazing
Renovating The Boathouse required glazing that matched its history and delivered performance. Our Keller minimal window sliding doors were chosen for their slim frames and reliability. The large glass panels feature solar control glazing to regulate heat and maintain comfort year-round.
Fixed picture windows connect indoor spaces to the River Dart’s scenery. Our Sieger Casement Windows, with thin aluminium profiles, align with the original stone and brickwork. These are our engineered solutions, designed for durability and efficiency; perfect riverfront windows.
Maximising Views and Natural Light
The Boathouse’s appeal lies in its light and views. Our structurally glazed rooflights bring daylight deep into the interiors, accentuating exposed beams and stone walls. The rooms gain brightness and a sense of space, ideal for a luxury retreat.
The Sieger Lux Casement Doors provide smooth transitions to the outdoors. With minimalist framing and precise operation, they open onto a balcony above the water or a private riverside terrace. This design ensures practicality and visual consistency.
Integrated Performance and Comfort
The River Dart’s coastal climate (wet, windy, and salty) demands robust glazing. Our marine-grade fittings and solar control glass suit riverfront windows well. Features like warm-edge spacers, continuous weather seals, and argon-filled double-glazing prevent heat loss and condensation, keeping interiors stable in all seasons.
The glazing also frames the river and woodland views, creating a serene atmosphere in every room. This combination of performance and aesthetics delivers measurable comfort for occupants.
Exceptional Waterfront Living
The Boathouse shows what Sieger glazing can achieve. Our precision-engineered products preserve the property’s heritage while meeting modern standards. Homeowners get a luxurious, functional retreat. Architects and builders gain a reliable solution that enhances their projects. This is waterfront living, elevated by Sieger Systems’ expertise.
