ALUFOLDDIRECT PICTURE PERFECT SEA VIEW AND OCEANS OF SANDY BEACH ALUFOLDDIRECT HELPS TO CREATE BESPOKE COASTAL HOLIDAY HOME IN WALES A £500,000 project to build a unique holiday home within the Snowdonia National Park, features aluminium glazing from award- winning AluFoldDirect. An old chalet-style property, which sat on a tired plot of land in North Wales, was demolished to make way for the unique new build. It comes complete with two sets of aluminium bifold doors and an impressive aluminium double-height corner window from AluFoldDirect - perfectly positioned to soak up the coastal landscape and views across the dunes. At the rear of the three-bedroom house near Harlech, two aluminium residential doors were also manufactured by AluFoldDirect as part of the bespoke architectural design to build a home with real wow factor. Plans to create the ‘upside down’ property, which has all the living space on the first floor so the owners can admire the rugged sandy coastline, started before 2015. ARCHETECH - PAGE 26 Chris Shuker, of Chris Shuker Building Contractors, handled the project after being headhunted by the family who snapped up the unique piece of land a few years ago. Architects drew up a stunning design for the waterfront property, which incorporated the use of stylish and innovative aluminium glazing, and Chris approached AluFoldDirect to discuss the build. Delivery was fast and efficient once the order was received by AluFoldDirect and Chris said no-one else could come close to the price. “ We worked together and the end result is stunning. The aluminium bifold doors work beautifully and enable the family to embrace the outdoors and soak up all those wonderful sunsets.
