OPTIMA WINDOWS USED IN EXTENSIVE HOME REMODELLING PROJECT

Optima windows from Profile 22 were selected for a high-end contemporary property refurbishment in Orpington near Bromley in Kent .
The window installation was part of a wider refurbishment to remodel a bungalow into a two-storey house . In total , 18 windows were installed , including a striking three pane bay window . Floating mullions were used and fire egress windows were required to meet building regulations on the upper floor . The design featured equal sightlines to help the homeowner achieve the high-end aesthetics they wanted which were further enhanced with the choice of Anthracite Grey on both sides . The windows were manufactured by Emplas , one of the UK ’ s largest window manufacturers .
Installation was by Affix Windows of Sidcup , Kent , a market-leading installation company in London and Kent that focuses on delivering a high quality and successful result every time .
Callum Hennessy at Affix Windows , commented : “ Having listened to the vision from the homeowner
, Optima windows were the perfect choice for this project and were invaluable in creating the sophisticated appearance the homeowners wanted to achieve .” He continued : “ Because the window installation was part of a much wider building project it was vital to work closely with the
homeowner to keep everything on track . Our expertise and experience were invaluable in ensuring the installation was straightforward from start to finish .”
The end result is a stunning testament to the quality and style of Optima windows . The homeowner commented : “ The choice of window was critical to this project and the attention to detail and the supporting customer journey from Affix Windows was impressive . They took the time to discuss the window aesthetics with us and showed us real-life applications so we could visually see the end results . They even took time to advise us on the type of windows needed for the upper floor to meet current building regulations . It was an end-toend professional service .”
The high-end finish of the remodelling project is impressive
and has already attracted local attention . The homeowner commented : “ We ’ ve had several neighbours and passers-by comment on the refurbishment and asking us where we got our windows . We have had no hesitation in recommending Optima products and Affix Windows .”
The completed project has proved so successful it has won the Installation of the Month on Epwin Window Systems ’ Connect platform . As a result , Affix Windows has won a £ 250 credit to use on marketing materials to promote the business and secure further sales . Callum concluded : “ This was an important installation from start to finish and we are delighted to have been recognised for our work by winning the Installation of the Month .”
