Schüco Windows & Doors Installation

A detached family home in Wimbledon required a complete glazing upgrade as part of a wider refurbishment. The existing windows and doors were a mix of ageing timber and uPVC units that had become draughty, difficult to operate, and visually inconsistent across the elevations. The owners wanted a premium solution with a bold exterior that would sharpen the property’s street presence, paired with a bright, neutral interior that would sit comfortably with their décor. The goal was to install a full Schüco aluminium window and door package in a dual-colour finish—black externally, white internally—with chrome gold handles for a distinctive, high-end detail.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed a bespoke Schüco aluminium window and door system across the property, finished in a dual-colour powder coat to address the exterior and interior schemes independently. The solution included:

Windows:

• Schüco AWS 70 slim-profile aluminium casement windows with concealed friction hinges
• Tilt-and-turn configurations to first-floor bedrooms for safe, controlled ventilation
• Thermally broken profiles to eliminate cold bridging and prevent condensation
• Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill for superior thermal efficiency
• Acoustic-enhanced glazing to front-facing rooms to reduce road noise

Doors:

• Schüco aluminium entrance door with decorative glazed panels
• Matching Schüco aluminium patio doors for rear garden access
• Thermally broken profiles throughout for consistent performance
• Multi-point locking systems with anti-snap cylinders and Secured by Design accreditation
• Heavy-duty stainless steel hinges with adjustable tension
• Low-threshold cills for step-free access

Finish & Hardware:

• Dual-colour powder coat: matt black (RAL 9005) externally for a bold, contemporary façade, and white (RAL 9010) internally to keep rooms bright and neutral
• Chrome gold handles to all windows and doors for a striking, premium accent
• Matching chrome gold hardware and letter plate for a unified finish
