Project Overview

A detached family home in Stanmore had an existing porch that was dark, cramped, and thermally inefficient. The homeowners wanted to transform the entrance into a bright, welcoming space with premium glazing. The goal was to install a fully glazed Schüco entrance door and matching Schüco windows in the porch to flood the area with natural light, improve thermal performance, and create a striking first impression.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed a bespoke Schüco AWS 70 entrance door and window system tailored to the porch. The solution included:

  • Fully glazed Schüco entrance door with slim-profile aluminium frame
  • Matching Schüco AWS 70 casement windows to the side of the door
  • Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill
  • Thermally broken profiles to eliminate cold bridging and condensation
  • Schüco multi-point locking system with SecuTech handle technology (RC2 security rating)
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel hinges with adjustable tension
  • Low-threshold cill for step-free access
  • Powder-coated finish in dark grey (RAL 7016) to complement the property’s exterior
  • Concealed drop-down weather seals for superior draught protection
  • Matching handles and hardware for a unified finish

Installation Process

  • Conducted precise laser measurement of the porch openings
  • Removed existing porch door and windows carefully
  • Disposed of all waste materials responsibly
  • Inspected and prepared the structural openings, lintels, and sills
  • Installed steel reinforcement where required for the Schüco system
  • Lifted Schüco AWS 70 door frame into position using precision packers
  • Lifted Schüco window frames into position alongside the door
  • Mechanically fixed all frames to the structure ensuring zero movement
  • Hung the fully glazed door slab on stainless steel hinges
  • Fitted double-glazed sealed units into the door and windows
  • Installed Schüco multi-point locking mechanism and tested all locks
  • Spray-foamed all perimeter gaps and applied internal/external silicone seals
  • Adjusted hinges for perfect alignment and smooth closing action
  • Completed thorough clean of all glass, frames, handles, and surrounding area
