Unrivalled views from anywhere in the room
Outwards opening for maximum space
A home for all seasons
The UK has a reputation for unpredictable and often undesirable weather – you can experience four seasons in one day – so weathertight windows that enhance the comfort of the living space were a necessity for Chris and Gillian: “The large expanse of glass traps the heat wonderfully well, as well as helping to circulate fresh air throughout our home – it’s a really important part of the design.”
The large windows and folding doors have enabled Chris and Gillian to soak up the views at all times of the day, whatever the weather, from the comfort of their own home. “It’s wonderful having people over. Everybody has remarked how beautiful the house is and how it has such a modern feel, yet still has a sense of belonging within the surrounding environment. The whole project was worth the wait.”
The outcome
When asked what were the most successful elements of the newly renovated home, Chris went straight for the doors and the contribution they make to the aesthetic of their home:
The bi-fold doors are probably my favourite element of the house – we have three of them in total and they are simply beautiful. It’s clear to me why Schüco is considered one of the best on the market.
The bespoke gable windows are another eye-catching feature. Tom Grant and his team of fabricators at Thomas Charles Grant thought about the design carefully and managed to install them deep into the recess to allow for a generous interior window sill.
