Four sliding PatioMaster doors were specified as part of a large-scale renovation project on a property in Brethdale , Cumbria . The complete project was supplied and installed by Carlisle-based World Group , and as director Matthew Spooner says , took around 12 months to complete .

“ The project was completed in 2016 and due to the scale of the job it was done across various phases . Comprising four patio doors , three stable doors and 15 casement windows along with a Juliet balcony to the master

bedroom and some external PVCu cladding , it was not without its challenges . Cumbria may be an area of picturesque villages and attractive lakes , but it offers

many challenges in terms of wind exposure due to our geographical location , so getting the right product to meet the environmental needs was crucial .”

While the property is relatively new in its build , it required a complete refurb and the doors and windows replacing , as certain parts of the property were completely exposed , providing no protection against the elements . The homeowners used quite an unusual stone as part of the refurb on the property exterior and they wanted the new PatioMaster doors to stand out against this , and create a striking focal point .

Matthew said : “ We spent many hours going over samples and colour swatches until we got the balance right , in the end going for two panes in Irish oak for

the exterior and white on the interior . Matching bright chrome hardware completed the doors , and the results were definitely worth it – the property wouldn ’ t look out of place on Grand Designs .

“ The PatioMaster range perfectly suited what the homeowners were looking for not only in terms of its design choice , but also the attention to detail - the property is now much warmer and secure thanks to the system ’ s advanced security features and energy efficiency accreditations , including being SBD Accredited .” The property ’ s owners were very happy with the

result from the renovation and commented : “ We are thrilled with the work World Group have completed . The colour of the doors is lovely and we were impressed with the way all the staff were considerate , knowledgeable and took pride in their work . We would not hesitate to recommend World Group for a wide range of property improvements – they offered a great product at a great price !”

PatioMaster offers low profile frames , quality construction and security features as well as being available in a range of 19 colours and finishes to suit every style of home .
