What were the common mistakes that you managed to avoid ? We avoided common issues such as inaccurate measurements or improper material selection through thorough site evaluations and close collaboration with structural engineers . As a result , the doors were both functional and visually aligned with the property ’ s design . A key element of this process was the detailed analysis of requirements , conducted in partnership with the client and architect . Sometimes , what appears aesthetically pleasing may not meet the desired functionality , which is why an initial consultation is crucial for selecting the right doors , glass and functionalities .
Did the design require any bespoke elements ? Yes , several bespoke elements were incorporated . These included heavy-duty hinges positioned at a height of one metre to support the weight of the doors , reinforced walls secured with specialist adhesives and custom frames fastened with durable screws for added stability .
What are you most proud of ? We take pride in overcoming the engineering challenges presented by this project . The final installation not only met the client ’ s expectations but also demonstrated our ability to combine functionality , swift problem-solving and aesthetic excellence .
What are your hints and tips for those looking to embark on a property renovation project that incorporates bespoke windows and doors ? From our experience , we can highlight several key aspects worth considering :
• Collaborate with suppliers and designers with proven expertise in bespoke projects . This ensures that the final product will not only be aesthetically pleasing but also fully functional .
