2021 – a year in review
21 December 2021
A year of new and exciting projects
As we approach the end of 2021 and the pace slows a little for the festive break, we’ve taken a look back at the last 12 months and wanted to share some of our highlights. Amongst the continued challenges and uncertainty, the year has been filled with new and exciting opportunities.
We are truly thankful to all our clients, partners and suppliers for their continued support and the amazing projects we work together on.
2021 project highlights
It’s always very difficult to select our project highlights as each one is unique. Here are just a few of our favourites:
Single pane gable glazing
Our clients in Haslemere undertook a top-to-toe renovation of their 3-bedroom family home, which included 3 extensions, a complete glazing update and features the biggest single pane gable glazing installation of the year.

Largest single pane window
Nestled in the New Forest, our specialist installation team smoothly installed a 6400mm x 2400mm Pure Glass Window as part of an extensive renovation project.

Introducing Vertical Sliding Windows
We were delighted to introduce Pure Glass Vertical Sliding Windows this year. Vertical sliding windows or guillotine windows are a window configuration of fixed and sliding vertical panes that create a unique design to blend the internal and external views.

A bifold door renaissance
Having worked with architectural glazing for many years, we see glazing systems and styles gain in popularity as the design and functional needs of homes evolve. This year, we have seen somewhat of a renaissance for bifold doors, predominantly due to the versatility that the systems offer. If you’re considering bifold doors for your next project, take a look at our bifold door projects for inspiration.
This home in West Wellow features a 7-pane Schuco aluminium bifold door installation, creating a full-width opening for the new kitchen-dining room extension.
Collaborating with Otto Group
We love it when we work with like-minded partners again and again. In 2021, we collaborated with Otto Group to specify and install a 50 piece glazing package for a contemporary four-storey home.

Maximising minimalist glazing in 2021 with new products
Minimalist glazing continued to feature strongly in many of the projects we were involved in this year, as clients and architects aim to achieve a home with minimal sightlines and maximum glazing impact. This year we introduced the Pure Glass Sliding Door, Pure Glass Pivot Door and Pure Glass Vertical. Our minimalist glazing system can be expertly specified with high performance, specialist and heritage glazing systems to create a complete glazing package to suit the overall vision for the project.
Exceeding our clients’ expectations
Receiving feedback from our clients, partners and suppliers is always one of our favourite parts of a project. From project conception to project sign-off, we are there every step of the way to achieve the glazing vision. A successful project is made up of many parts and the right suppliers and partners are critical, if you’re researching your 2022 project, you might find our client feedback useful.
Exact Glazing are a family run business, and this shows with their attention to detail and commitment to providing the best solution for their clients. Working closely with our architects (and project managers), Exact came up with a solution that perfectly suited our lifestyle and what we had envisioned for our home.
Exact supplied and fitted all the glazing for our new build in Brighton, including bespoke roof lights and feature windows. It was a big and difficult project and we struggled for some time to find a company to take it on. Silas and the team dug deep and delivered everything we wanted to a great standard and for a reasonable price.
Looking forward to 2022
We have many projects already underway for 2022, featuring bespoke architectural glazing. To ensure we are the right glazing partner for your project, book an Initial Project Consultation for January. Our Project Managers are available to discuss your project and advise on the best systems, specifications and approach to achieve the vision.
From everyone at Exact, we wish you a happy 2022.
