DELIVERING ON THE TRANSFORMATION OF INDIVIDUALLY-DESIGNED DETACHED HOME

» OPTIMA AND PATIOMASTER products from Epwin Window Systems have been fitted in a six-week installation project as part of a complete refurbishment and upgrade of an individually-designed detached home in Conwy , Wales .
The high-end domestic project , undertaken by L Pearce Home Improvements , involved transforming a bungalow into a two-storey home . The property has panoramic views over beautiful countryside and the homeowners were keen to make the most of the vista while still retaining the character of the building .
L Pearce Home Improvements installed four sets of PatioMaster doors including a largescale four-pane sliding door with arched top on an upper floor balcony . The refurbishment was completed with Optima casement windows and doors along with a stand-out three metre four-pane picture window to the front elevation . All products were manufactured in Antique Oak to fit
the traditional character of the home and fabricated by longstanding Epwin Window Systems ’ fabricator Heritage Trade Frames .
Luke Pearce , founder of L Pearce Home Improvements , said : “ The slimline profile and large glass area of the PatioMaster sliding doors and the superior aesthetics of Optima were perfect for this project because they maximise the views .”
He added : “ The homeowners are delighted , as are we . We ’ ve been installing Optima and PatioMaster since the business opened three years ago . They are high-quality systems that allow us to capitalise on high-end domestic projects with exacting standards like this project .”
He explained : “ The products are easy-to-fit , which saves us time on site . Homeowners are always impressed with the quality too . Product operation , especially on the sliding doors , is very high-end and delivers on exacting expectations .”
L Pearce Home Improvements is one of North Wales ’ specialist installers of high-quality PVC-U and aluminium products . The company has just opened a showroom in Rhos-on-Sea in North Wales where customers can see the quality of the products for themselves .
And in installations like this one , customers can also see what a transformational difference high quality products manufactured by an experienced fabricator and fitted by a specialist installer can make .

Westerton Walk in Leeds city centre is an extra care housing development comprising of 63 one- and two-bedroom flats with care services , shared lounges and dining facilities . It has been built on a vacant Leeds City Councilowned site and has created a dynamic community hub .
The project required 205 casement windows , residential doors , emergency doors , sliding doors and curtain walling . The system specified was Optima
from Profile 22 , the UK ’ s leading commercial window and door system .
The contract to fabricate and install the windows and doors was awarded to Profile 22 Approved Contractor Kingfisher Windows , a leading manufacturer and supplier of windows , doors and conservatories for commercial and new build projects .
Optima from Profile 22 is an award-winning fully integrated 70mm window and door system . The system comes with the widest range of ancillaries in the industry and a choice of colour options to support all property types . In this project , Anthracite Grey was used on external faces to provide an attractive appearance . Internally , a white
finish was used to complement internal decoration .
The system offers market-leading structural strength and security . When correctly specified , Optima casement windows are PAS24:2016 approved as standard . Secured by Design requirements can also be met where required . Such assurances were important for this project because deterring crime was a fundamental consideration .
