We fitted a mix of French and standard casement windows throughout the house so that it would comply with new build escape regulations. Ensuring a sleek and consistent look, we made sure that the lines of the windows were perfect aligned between the different floor levels. The entrance door itself is a contemporary, horizontally- boarded door made from Accoya®, with a insulating Tricoya® panels. Predominantly used in all of our joinery products, this is an engineered timber which is dimensionally stable with outstanding durability. It is water resistant, virtually rot proof, doesn’t swell, shrink, twist or warp and will have minimal moment in the joints, ensuring a long lasting finish. Unlike most hardwoods it’s also environmentally friendly, manufactured from sustainable pine forests. Also painted in Granite to match the windows, the entrance door features polished chrome ironmongery from our standard range and a glazed central vision panel. We supplied three sets of folding stacking doors, with two at the back of the property and one at the front which matches the first floor windows. Above the rear folding door, which mirrors the main glazing at the front of the building, we inserted a covered structural steel element with a Tricoya® panel which was proudly engraved with the house name. www.westburyjoinery.com 17
