Flush Sash Windows & Patio Doors in Irish Oak – A Room with a View
This month, one of our customers opted for a beautiful upgrade to their home with new flush sash windows and sliding patio doors, all in the popular Irish Oak finish. Initially, they considered bifold doors but decided against them due to exposure to the elements. Instead, they chose sliding patio doors, which offer slimmer sightlines and less visual interruption—perfect for enjoying a stunning view. The end result? A timeless, elegant look that blends seamlessly with the property while allowing plenty of natural light to pour in.
Opening Up the Kitchen Diner – Aluminium Bifolds & White Veka Windows
In another project, we were tasked with cutting out existing brickwork to make space for a set of stylish aluminium bifold doors, complemented by crisp white Veka windows. This transformation opened up the kitchen diner to the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living space. There’s really nothing better than folding those doors back on a warm sunny day, especially when entertaining friends and family with a barbecue. We also added a new PVCu patio door to complete the look and functionality of the space.
Composite Door with Matching Side Glass – A Perfect Fit for Traditional Style
We recently replaced a front door with a new traditional-style composite door, giving the property an instant curb appeal boost. To retain the character of the home, we recreated the original glass design in the side windows—a small touch that made a big impact. When the sun hits the stained glass just right, the colours come alive, casting a warm and inviting glow into the hallway. A perfect blend of old charm and modern security.
Brick-Up & Tiled Cill – Making Space Where It’s Needed Most
Sometimes, the simplest alterations make the biggest difference. In this case, we bricked up an unused doorway and added a tiled cill to match the existing exterior. This allowed the customer to extend their kitchen area, creating much-needed space for additional white goods. It’s a smart and subtle solution that blends seamlessly with the home’s layout, both inside and out.
Juliet Balconies – Enjoy the View Without Obstruction
We also installed a series of sleek Juliet balconies this month. These were carefully chosen to minimise visual obstruction—replacing traditional ironwork with a more contemporary, clear-glass solution. The result? A clean, open outlook that perfectly frames the customer’s manicured garden and the rolling hills beyond. Now, rather than seeing through railings, you get a full panoramic view, bringing the outside in without compromising on safety or style.
