DOORS , WINDOWS & FITTINGS
The house benefits from such wonderful views because of its location on top of a hill , however the site is also extremely exposed to the elements . The windows and doors had to be able to withstand howling winds and , at times , horizontal rain .
Jon is the director of specialist cladding company , JPW Osprey . He says , “ I ’ ve been in the glass business for most of my life . This meant I was able to select the best products for the job .
“ Living in such a windy place , I needed a robust product that wouldn ’ t let the wind whistle through , so I chose Schüco . I always recommend my clients invest in Schüco for its high quality and timeless design . I took my own advice and it proved to be the right choice . The house is warm and completely weathertight .”
Another benefit of the Schüco lift-and-slide doors is that they are easy to operate for the whole family .
