Doors, Windows & Fittings
A lighter and brighter home in Bude with Origin
The house is spacious with four
bedrooms and three reception rooms,
however, when the couple chose to
renovate their kitchen to a more
contemporary style, they saw an
opportunity to extend and create a
larger, brighter living space.
The couple felt that the back of their
house lacked natural light and was
generally a dark and unenjoyable space.
They knew that with their extension
they would want to bring in as much
natural light as possible and connect
the inside of their home with their
beautiful garden, which they would do
with the use of high-quality glazing.
After speaking with their local trade
partner, Prime Windows, the couple
decided Origin Doors and Windows
were the right products for them and
their home. And, the couple went big.
For their new kitchen dining space,
they chose an impressive 7-door
configuration, allowing them to
completely open up the back of their
home with no visual interruption. So
easy to use and 67% lighter than steel,
the couple have no trouble opening
and closing their large configuration of
aluminium bifold doors. And, exceeding
current building regulations, the couple
needn’t worry about losing heat in the
winter with their Origin Bi-fold Doors.
To make the most of the light and
space, the couple also installed a set
of 3-door bi-folds adjacent to the
larger set, replicating a corner door set
without the need for as much structural
work. Another set of 3-door bifolds were
installed in their conservatory, just left
of their kitchen to enhance the light.
And, with extremely smart use of the
same flooring inside and out, the couple
have created a truly light space that
links their kitchen and garden; bringing
the outside in. The couple couldn’t be
happier with their home transformation
and complete kitchen extension. “We
think the Origin Doors are brilliant.
They bring the whole new look together.
The house has a more modern overall
feel. Everything has been brought up-
to-date while retaining it’s personality…
it’s seamless,” Martin comments.
So impressed with the Origin range
of aluminium doors, the couple also
decided to replace the windows in their
property with Origin’s contemporary,
thermally efficient and highly secure
windows. The couple’s house has had
a contemporary facelift with a mixture
of fixed windows, top hung casement
windows, side opening casement
windows and bay windows, and even
an Origin Single Door in their utility
room for easy access to their garden.

All Martin and Alia’s Origin Doors and
Windows were chosen in Slate Grey
(7015M) with black gaskets for a highly
modern and sleek look throughout the
property.
When we asked Martin how he feels
about the overall extension and
addition of Origin Doors and Windows,
he said, “we’ve achieved exactly what
we set out to do. We’ve created a
modern kitchen diner with a light,
spacious and airy feel. We use the
space every day and love the whole
experience. The Origin products are
high quality, well built and strong but
also easy to use.”
