Making the most of the stunning garden
Merging outdoors and in
Albino and his family wanted to create a space to entertain guests and family. “I’m Italian, so when we have family get-togethers there are at least 20 people! We wanted to entertain, host parties and have friends over for dinner using both the indoor and outdoor spaces really easily.”
The solution was to build an adaptable extension with all the living and entertaining space the family was looking for – and that includes easy access to the garden.
Albino did a lot of the research into the products and systems to be used in this project himself. He decided to visit the Schüco showroom in Milton Keynes to take a look at what Schüco has to offer and liked what he saw.
When his chosen fabricator for the project, Tom Grant, told Albino that he is a licensed Schüco partner and recommended Schüco, Albino knew he already liked the products.
I was looking for aluminium window and sliding door systems. Schüco just seemed to tick all the boxes in terms of both quality and design. After reading reviews online, I was convinced Tom was the right man for the job. I’m pretty happy with my choices as everything looks amazing!
After talking with Tom and finding out what possibilities Schüco products and systems could offer, Albino booked an appointment at the showroom again to look at the specific lift-and-slide door systems from Schüco.
He decided to go for the ASS 70.HI lift-and-slide system for the doors along with the ASS 70 FD folding sliding system for additional design options. For the windows, Albino chose the AWS 70 SC window system.
Albino was grateful for the time Tom took to talk him through the possibilities: “One of the main reasons we started this project was to make our lives more sociable by giving us a space to entertain guests. The large Schüco lift-and-slide doors play a really important role in enabling this at all times of year.
“We’ve now had a few parties and barbecues and everyone who has come round has been very impressed, especially in summer when it’s all opened. I would definitely use Schüco again. It’s been two years and we’ve had no issues whatsoever, which I think is a real sign of quality.”
There are more plans in the pipeline as well, because Albino still wants to renovate the façade of their home – a project which will include seven more Schüco windows.
