THE PERFECT AESTHETIC TO A HIGH-END HOME EXTENSION
» STELLAR , THE MULTI-AWARDwinning retail aluminium system from Epwin Window Systems , has just been used in a stunning cedar-clad domestic extension in Aberporth , West Wales . The property is situated on a coastal hilltop so the glazing solution needed to make the most of the stunning views as well as be able to withstand the harshest of weather conditions . The homeowners were also keen to create a high-end finish , so the aesthetics were key .
The homeowners contacted experienced local fabricator and installer GD Windows for advice . For Gwyn Davies , Director at GD Windows , there was only once choice : Stellar from Epwin Window Systems . He said : “ We began manufacturing Stellar aluminium in September 2021 and it has all the high-end credentials this project demanded . The homeowners were delighted with the superb flush aesthetics and performance standards of the products .”
GD Windows manufactured and installed six Stellar aluminium windows and one Stellar door with side screens in the extension to the property . This included two 3755 mm wide large-scale Stellar casement windows on the front elevation to capitalise on the outstanding vistas across the bay . All the windows and doors were flush on the internal and external faces to create the sophisticated high-end aesthetics required on the project .
The project ran quickly and efficiently thanks to the experience of the GD Windows team coupled with intelligent design of the Stellar system . Gwyn commented : “ You cannot underestimate just how quick and easy Stellar is to fit .
Even the homeowners commented on how quickly everything was installed . The pre-gasketed knock-in beads make fitting very straightforward and leave the neatest finish we have seen on aluminium products . You cannot underplay the importance of this difference – there is nothing else like it on the market .
“ We completed the installation before the storms that hit Wales in February so the products were tested to the max . The homeowners got in touch to say they were thrilled by the strength and security of the products in the worst of weathers .”
