Project Overview
A modern purpose-built flat in Hammersmith required a new aluminium door and matching windows to provide access to a private terrace. The existing door was old, draughty, and insecure, while the adjacent windows were mismatched and inefficient. The homeowners wanted a premium, cohesive solution that would maximise natural light, provide secure terrace access, and enhance the flat’s contemporary aesthetic. The goal was to install an aluminium door and matching windows to create a seamless connection between the interior living space and the outdoor terrace.
Our Solution
We supplied and installed a bespoke aluminium door and window system tailored to the flat’s rear elevation. The solution included:
- Aluminium French door (casement style) with two side-hung opening panels for terrace access
- Matching aluminium casement windows flanking the door
- Slim-profile aluminium frames for maximum glass area and clean sightlines
- Thermally broken profiles to prevent heat loss and condensation
- Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill
- Multi-point locking system on the active door leaf with anti-snap cylinders
- Stainless steel friction hinges for smooth, controlled operation
- Low-threshold cill for step-free terrace access
- Powder-coated finish in dark grey (RAL 7016) to complement the flat’s contemporary interior
- Matching handles and hardware for a unified finish
Installation Process
- Conducted precise laser measurement of the existing door and window openings
- Removed old door and windows carefully to preserve surrounding finishes
