overview of what to expect when partnering with Festa.

ABOUT US
OUR PROCESS
Step 01
DESIGN CONSULTATION - 0%
Every project begins with a conversation. As a
specialist glazing consultancy, we take the time
to listen and understand your unique vision.
With our depth of knowledge and technical
expertise, we’ll provide you with tailored advice
to refine your ideas and guide you towards
a glazing solution that meets your aesthetic
and performance needs. From bespoke
glass specifications to complex structural
considerations, our boutique consultancy
service adds value from the outset.
Step 02
ORDER PLACEMENT - 15%
Once you’re happy to proceed with our
proposal and the initial deposit has been
processed, we move swiftly to ensure a
seamless transition. You’ll be introduced to
your dedicated Contracts Manager, who will
oversee every detail of your project from this
point forward. This single point of contact is
there to keep communication clear and ensure
every decision made is aligned with your
expectations.
Step 03
PROJECT DESIGN - 30%
Upon receipt of the architect’s dwg files, our
design team gets to work integrating our
glazing systems into your project. This stage
is all about precision and foresight—every
interface, junction and support detail are
meticulously co-ordinated to avoid clashes and
ensure compatibility with adjacent structures. By
understanding the finer points of construction
build-ups, structural tolerances and thermal
performance, we set the groundwork for a
smooth installation, minimising disruptions later
in the process with technical accuracy.
Step 04
STEP 04 SITE SURVEY - 45%
Once the structural openings are formed and a
datum is established on-site, our team conducts
a thorough site survey. This visit is essential
for capturing accurate measurements and
understanding on-site tolerances, which form
the basis for our detailed fabrication drawings.
By getting this step right, we mitigate the risk
of costly adjustments and ensure that every
glazing element will be produced to the
exact specifications required for a perfect
installation.

PROJECT LOOK BOOK
Step 05
FABRICATION APPROVAL - 60%
Following the site survey, we update and
reissue our design drawings to reflect the
true site conditions. Once these drawings
are approved and the second stage payment
is received, we proceed to manufacturing.
Our meticulous approach means that each
component is produced with absolute
precision, ensuring a flawless fit and finish.
Step 07
INSTALLATION - 90%
Step 06
PRODUCTION - 80%
The lead time commences once all details are
signed off. Our production team coordinates
the procurement and fabrication of materials in
line with the approved drawings. Throughout
this stage, every profile, frame, and piece
of glass is handled with the utmost care and
crafted to exacting standards. Comprehensive
quality checks are carried out at every stage,
ensuring that the finished products are not just
beautiful, but built to last.
In the weeks leading up to installation we
conduct a thorough pre-start check on-site
to ensure everything is set for a seamless
installation. Your Contracts Manager will
confirm access routes and verify that all
preparatory work is complete. We will also
collect the third stage payment, securing your
upcoming installation date. This meticulous
preparation allows our experienced installers to
work with maximum efficiency and precision,
fitting each component with care and attention.
Step 08
COMPLETION - 100%
With the installation now complete, we’ll
request the final balance and hand over your
aftercare and warranty documentation. We’re
proud to stand by our work, offering continued
support and peace of mind long after your
project is finished. From post-installation
advice to ongoing maintenance support, we
remain at your service.

Pivot doors offer monumental scale with elegant movement
with large-format openings, glazed pivot doors offer
striking entrances with architectural impact. Capable of
reaching dimensions up to 3.5m wide and 6m high, they
allow oversized glazing to become a sculptural element
within the façade—delivering bold scale without visual bulk.
Utilising ultra-slim framing systems and concealed pivot
mechanisms, these doors create near-frameless transitions
with sightlines as narrow as 20–30mm. The result is a door
that dissolves boundaries between interior and exterior,
echoing the purity and refinement of sliding systems.
Pivot doors offer 360° design freedom—operating inward,
outward, or dual-swing with soft-close options. Ideal for
main entrances, internal partitions, or as a striking feature
within curtain walls, they integrate flush thresholds and
floor-to-ceiling glazing with bespoke finishes including
anodised aluminium, timber cladding, or mirrored glass.
Despite their dramatic scale, high-spec pivot systems deliver
excellent thermal performance (U-values <1.0 W/m²K),
airtightness, and resistance to wind and water. Double or
triple glazing, laminated safety glass, and thermally broken
frames ensure they meet the same standards as premium
sliding systems.
Pivot doors offer a unique kinetic experience—opening on
an offset axis to create a sense of theatre and presence,
especially when automated. This architectural movement
not only enhances spatial interaction but signals luxury and
innovation at the entrance threshold.

The design honours the building's agricultural character,
utilising materials such as timber, natural stone and glass. A
stand out feature is the extensive use of glazing, flooding the
interior spaces with natural light creating a seamless connection
to the idyllic countryside. Notably, the east elevation showcases
automated sliding doors, measuring over 4 meters in height
and 12 meters in width, elegantly integrated into the existing
steel frame structure.
SELECTED WORK
This glazing not only introduces a modern aesthetic but also
preserves the barn’s traditional charm. On the north elevation,
large windows invite light into the space without overwhelming
the structure, harmoniously sitting alongside the natural stone
and timber cladding. These glass elements are integral to the
design, offering unobstructed views and creating bright, open
interior spaces.

accents, offer a modern reinterpretation of a monolithic form,
