The UK ’ s leading manufacturer of premium doors and windows , Origin , has unveiled its latest product launch . The OI-30 is designed to separate home and office footprints into practical spaces . It revolutionises interior design by allowing light to travel unhindered through the building , creating the sense of space and airiness that homeowners want , while providing protection from noise and distraction that they value . It is also a great option for commercial spaces to section out individual offices . With ultra-slim sightlines , the internal door can accommodate 4mm , 6mm or 6.8mm glazing , and installers can opt for clear , frosted , or reeded glass , allowing them to offer homeowners the benefits of privacy where required while still maximising light .

Minimum widths for a single door begin at 300mm and extend to a maximum size of 1000mm . Height starts at 1500mm

and extends to 2500mm , offering lots of flexibility . Additionally , fixed frames can be added to the top or side to fill larger apertures .

The OI-30 is available in a multitude of configurations , including fixed , single , French , and corner styles . Kickplates and solid panels can also be added which minimise fingerprints and scratches .

Daniel Baker , Managing Director at Origin , comments : “ When our customers called for a high-quality but affordable steel-look internal door , we answered . The result is an incredibly versatile system that allows the Origin Partner network to diversify their offering and venture into internal doors .”

Over 100 Optima windows and doors were manufactured and installed in a sustainable townhouse development that offers a contemporary twist on Victorian terraced housing .

Sky-House is a development of design-led , eco-friendly townhouses in Fox Valley near Sheffield . The two , three storey buildings consist of 27 one bedroom and six two-bedroom apartments .

The contract to fulfil the window and door specification

was given to experienced commercial contractor , Kingfisher Windows using the Optima PVC-U Flush Casement Window System from Epwin Window Systems .

The Optima Flush Casement Window System from Epwin Window Systems was perfect for this development . It replicates the original features of timber casement windows more accurately than rival products . It also gives superior thermal performance which was important on this

product to meet the exacting specifications for the eco-friendly development .

It meets the requirements of UK and EU Building Regulations as standard and includes a Secured by Design option . It also features optimised drainage and perfectly positioned seals for long-lasting performance .

The project has a stunning location with extensive views across the valley . To maintain the level of performance required on such an exposed site , fixings , transoms and mullions used additional reinforcing to meet more stringent wind and barrier loads . Enhanced glass was also specified to meet the barrier load to satisfy the requirements of BS 6180 , barriers in and about buildings .

The windows were manufactured in anthracite grey 7016 smooth on white to offer a contemporary exterior and understated interior .
