AGB Hardware has reported an increase in interest in its cornerless glazing option, which has been designed for use with its Imago Lift & Slide door
Cornerless glazing permits architects, self-builders and developers to cut necessary corners without compromising on quality. It allows for the extension of panoramic glazing elements, which can create a fixed corner of glass that enables housebuilders to increase the view from a property.
