Far and away the ideal showpiece When the creators of the industry ’ s most radical new window and door system heard that a substantial ultra-contemporary house was being planned not far from its head office , the opportunity seemed too good to miss .
That system was Lumi , the innovation that had recently proved a show-stopper when Co Antrim based Apeer launched it at Grand Designs Live in 2015 , and the finished house has surpassed all expectations , not only for the owner and architect but also for Apeer as a model showpiece for its innovation .

“ When we began creating the Lumi concept , our mind ’ s eye put it in a high-value , bespoke contemporary setting ,” said Apeer MD Asa McGillian .
“ Then , when we saw that the architect ’ s drawings were so much like that mental picture , we could not let the opportunity pass .”

Attendees made generous charity donations also totalling £ 1,000 sterling and – reflecting the international guest list – a further £ 500 in dollars and euros which brings Charlotte ’ s fundraising total so far to over £ 4,000 .
