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
