HIGH PERFORMANCE AND
SECURITY FOR THE PATIO
For a luxury home in the
Kent countryside, the highest performance windows
and doors were specified.
The private house had a
north facing aspect with a
large patio area that was
greatly under used.
The homeowners wished to
adapt the space as part of a major
renovation programme which
included replacing all windows
and doors. Telford-based FrameXpress was contracted to supply all
products to the highest specification within a tight schedule to
meet the demands of the property
owners.
A variety of styles and colours
was incorporated in both PVCu
and aluminium products. Large
shaped units were produced to
make optimum use of light as well
as casement windows and doors
all of which were manufactured in
rosewood foil to complement the
house style. Also, roof lights were
fabricated in anthracite grey PVCu
to blend with the slate roof.
As the homeowners were looking to enjoy their garden and
use the space rather than lose it
to the shade, they opted for an
aluminium conservatory, given
the thermal performance benefits
that could be achieved. FrameXpress manufactured this in brown
aluminium to match the window
and door aesthetic. The extension
incorporated a Quantal glazed
roofing system along with aluminium bifold doors so that the space
could be opened up in summer.
Security was also a consideration
with the property in a premium
position in Kent and the owners
keen to minimise temptation for
the casual burglar. This meant that
stipulations on Secured By Design
guarantees were made to provide
reassurances on safety and security throughout the property.
Ian Davis, Sales Manager on the
project commented: “On premium
properties there is always the potential for attack by intruders with
intent. Providing our customers
with the reassurance of industry
accreditation ensures that they can
work with something more than
just price when discussing benefits
with consumers.”
Aluminium and PVCu options
have seen a steady increase in
sales since being introduced into
our portfolio, with urban design-led specifications proving
some of the most popular. More
recently, the company has seen
an increase in domestic projects
as aluminium provides a striking
alternative that offers excellent
performance values.
