Project Overview
A substantial property extension in the picturesque village of Bovingdon required a complete glazing solution to bring the new open-plan living space to life. The homeowners wanted a striking yet cohesive design that would maximise natural light and provide a seamless connection to the garden. The goal was to install an aluminium sliding door in a bold grey finish to serve as the extension’s centrepiece, paired with matching white aluminium windows to create a bright, modern, and energy-efficient living environment.
Our Solution
We supplied and installed a bespoke aluminium sliding door and window system tailored to the new extension. The combination of a grey sliding door and white windows creates a stylish contrast that enhances the property’s contemporary aesthetic while maintaining a cohesive overall design.
The solution included:
Aluminium Sliding Door (Grey):
- High-performance aluminium sliding door system with slim-profile frames
- Multi-panel configuration (customised to the opening) for maximum garden views
- Powder-coated finish in grey (RAL 7016) for a bold, modern statement
- Thermally broken profiles to prevent heat loss, eliminate condensation, and exceed building regulations
- Concealed stainless steel roller system for smooth, quiet operation
- Multi-point locking system with high-security handles
- Low-threshold track for step-free garden access
- Drop-down weather seals for superior draught protection
Aluminium Windows (White):
- Matching aluminium casement windows in white (RAL 9010) flanking the sliding door
- Slim-profile frames for clean sightlines and a cohesive aesthetic
- Thermally broken profiles for energy efficiency and condensation control
- Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill throughout
- Side-hung casement openings with concealed friction hinges
- Multi-point locking systems for enhanced security
- Matching white handles and hardware for a unified finish
Installation Process
- Conducted a detailed site survey with precision laser measurement of all openings in the new extension
- Coordinated with the extension build schedule to ensure timely installation
- Removed temporary boarding and prepared all structural openings
- Installed steel reinforcement lintels where required for larger spans
- Lifted the grey aluminium sliding door frame into position using precision packers
- Lifted the white aluminium window frames into position alongside the door
- Mechanically fixed all frames to the new masonry and timber studwork ensuring zero movement
- Fitted the fixed glazed panel into the sliding door frame
- Hung the sliding door panels onto the roller mechanism
- Adjusted rollers for smooth, effortless sliding operation
- Fitted double-glazed sealed units into the sliding door and all windows
- Installed multi-point locking mechanisms on all elements and tested every lock
- Spray-foamed all perimeter gaps with high-expansion insulation foam
- Applied internal and external silicone seals for airtight, watertight finish
- Adjusted all handles, hinges, and locking mechanisms for smooth operation
