Purchased by its current owners in the 1990s, the chapel had been empty for thirty years when refurbishment work began in 2013. Much of the interior timber structure was beyond repair, and the 1,517 square foot site required extensive reconstruction work to make it habitable again.

Now, however, thanks to the efforts of the building’ s owners and award-winning architects Evolution Design, the Chapel on the Hill has become a luxurious hotel capable of accommodating 7 guests.

Vista added the finishing touch with an XtremeDoor powder-coated a striking red, chosen to precisely match the colour of the building’ s windows.

The project has gone on to win an A’ Design Award in the Architecture, Building and Structure Design category for 2015-2016, The International Property

Award for the best Interior Design Private Residence North East England, and a Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Award for best conversion

Keith Sadler, Vista Managing Director, commented:“ We’ re absolutely delighted to see one of our doors installed on such a spectacular renovation project.

When people talk about the strengths of the Xtreme- Door, they’ ll often start with its superb security credentials, weather resistance or thermal efficiency – but just

as crucial to its success has been its aesthetic versatility. With virtually endless colour choices and a huge array of glazing, hardware and other options, installers can perfectly

tailor an XtremeDoor to the look and character of any property – an extremely valuable USP in the modern marketplace.

“ We constantly strive to make XtremeDoor the best it can possibly be – offering the widest range of colours, styles and hardware options, and working continually to find ways to further improve its already industry-leading performance. Just recently, we’ ve upgraded the product with a 100 % thicker GRP skin, and added two new colours to the XtremeDoor range. Now, the XtremeDoor isn’ t just the UK’ s best-performing composite door – it can also be completely customised to match any homeowner’ s taste, and suit any property or project.”

Recently upgraded, the product now offers a 100 % thicker GRP skin and an upgraded five-hook lock.

Eurocell has reconfigured its popular Dales Collection range of composite doors to increase and improve aesthetic choice, security and resilience.

The company has introduced three new panel designs – the Elton, Hartington and Newhaven – which deliver on trend farmhouse and contemporary styles. The three designs are complemented by six more glass patterns to increase choice for the specifier, developer and end-user.

The additional door and glass introductions bring the total of Dales Collection front and back composite door combinations to 15 styles in 15 colours and 18 glazing options, from modern chic to traditional Edwardian or cottage style.

The colours are in three groups: contemporary, such as anthracite grey and moondust grey; standard, like rosewood and berry red; and heritage such as duck egg blue( all made to order). Dales Collection doors are also available with colour-matched weather bars.

Security assured

With security and peace of mind very much on the agenda, Eurocell has improved both the structural stability of its door panels and its locking hardware.

A new accredited five-point multi-locking system with adjustable keeps has been introduced, providing an improved weather rating. The new design also includes an increase of the outer GRP skin thickness from 2mm to 4mm.

The collection is now fitted with the Tri-Sis glazing cassette which can be deglazed internally without damaging the door panel or affecting the security performance of the door overall.

The locking system, plus the thickness and glazing modifications, means that the new doors

are all now compliant with the requirements of AD Q, achieving PAS 23 / 24:2016 accreditation, which includes the challenging PAS 24:2016‘ Cut Through’ test.

Low maintenance design GRP doors are less prone to scratching and denting than

steel-faced doors. A high-quality triple-seal frame system ensures Dales Collection doors can give outstanding performance for many years and two brush seals and a gasket seal prevent drafts and rain causing problems.
