Alma Fields

Installation in Castle Cary in the county of Somerset

This was a modern new build project with a glazed shaped frame to the rear to allow light to flood into the kitchen area. Slimline Smarts Alitherm 300 windows were used along with the Smarts Visofold 1000 aluminium multifolding doors. To keep continuity the French doors were manufactured in matching Visofold Profiles which are much slimmer than standard door profiles. The structural supports to the gable section were then cladded in matching aluminium pressings. All the aluminium products were powder coated in a Sensations Platinum Grey Finish.
A Solidor composite Front Door was used as a focal point to the from elevation finished in Anthracite Grey to match the Fascia and Soffits.

Berkley Heights

Installation in the lovely boutique town of Frome, Somerset

This project was dominated by the offset gable glazed façade to the rear elevation. A contemporary design that made the most of simple slim Smarts Alitherm 300 windows designed to maximise all glass areas and provide ample light to the internal aspects. The frontage was further enhanced with a Smarts Designer Doors all powder coated in a Sensations Antique Frey finish. The Rear Kitchen Diner is flooded with light from the two storey glazing, the bottom of which is constructed from a Triple Track 6 Pane Smarts Visoglide Plus Sliding Patio Door, with super slim meeting stiles this provides 6 large glazed areas when closed and with the 4 sliding sections creates a fantastic clear opening when all the doors are fully opened. Careful attention was paid to lining everything through with the above fixed panes and all the cladding were matched to produce a single gable infill from outside.

Bridge cottage

Installation in the Wiltshire village of Maiden Bradley

This was a new annex built adjacent to a lovely old cottage. Anthracite Grey (RAL 7016) was the finish chosen to compliment the timber cladding, natural stone and slate roof. Simple single opening windows were specified with minimal sightlines this suited the Alitherm 300 range perfectly with a flat sash and square bead keeping things very simple. The doors were supplied in the slimline Visofold 1000 system giving maximum glass and therefore maximum light. Internally the doors and windows achieve a stark contrast by being finished the same as the outside in anthracite grey.

Deptford Farm

Installation inWylye, a Wiltshire village

This was a project restricted by certain planning criteria. Firstly, the colour was critical, so a bespoke British Standard Colour was chosen (BS 3058 12B21) . The window system chosen was a Crital lookalike Heritage Putty line, designed to look authentic and with super slim sightlines. The doors were a challenge as they were wider and taller than normal, and the customer still wanted the smallest possible sections so the Visofold 1000 system was specified with the largest door being 1200mm wide and 2200 high. Small details matter and the external arched heads were finished with trims that were powder coated to match the aluminium frames

The Croft

Installation the village of Crockerton, on the edge of the Longleat Estate, Wiltshire

Its all about the wow factor. Triple Track 6 pane sliding doors that achieve a clear opening of 8 metres, coupled with slim meeting stiles. These Visoglide Plus doors give the best of both worlds large glass with miniomal uprights when closed and a huge opening when all 4 doors are fully opened. Special attention was paid to the threshold detail where we worked with the developer to achieve a flush floor from inside to outside. All finished in Sensations Platinum Grey.
