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
  • Disposed of all waste materials responsibly
  • Inspected and prepared the structural openings, lintels, and sills
  • Installed steel reinforcement where required for the aluminium system
  • Lifted aluminium door frame into position using precision packers
  • Lifted aluminium window frames into position alongside the door
  • Mechanically fixed all frames to the structure ensuring zero movement
  • Hung both door panels on stainless steel friction hinges
  • Fitted double-glazed sealed units into the door and windows
  • Installed multi-point locking mechanism on the active door leaf
  • Applied internal and external silicone seals for airtight, watertight finish
  • Adjusted all hinges and handles for smooth operation
  • Completed thorough clean of all glass, frames, handles, and surrounding area
