A: Crittall’s Innervision internal sliding doors and screens and Corporate W20 windows and doors for external application provide the perfect solution. An outside area can be dramatically fused with the inside by opening-up living space to create a seamless transition between inside and out. Adding bright, beautifully crafted walls of glazing and slim-profiled windows can reflect the timeless style of a period house, adeptly define spaces in a townhouse, minimalist urban loft, warehouse apartment or a self-build project. If you’re planning an extension, combine some outdoor space with an internal area under structural glazing, removing barriers so you have a level threshold or create a courtyard with stunning full-length glazing - great ways to achieve impact and add value to your property. Using natural light to define a space is a key element within a home’s design. Glazing expanses within external walls give a greater sense of space and light to achieve a beneficial connection with the garden beyond. A clear outdoor view of a landscape, patio, borders, shrubs or trees can be good for our well-being. www.crittall-windows.co.uk t: 01376 530800 e: [email protected] www.refurbandrestore.co.uk - 27
