CHARMING COTTAGE IN HAMPSHIRE
A charming 19th century cottage in rural Hampshire needed replacements for its draughty and inefficient timber window frames. The flint stone property was rich in period features, so the choice of window was key to retaining this sought-after country cottage aesthetic.
FOUR VIEWS VILLA
The owners of the four Views were interested in a safe solution with high security and thermal performance levels tor educe energy bills and carbon footprint. They approached the architects from AR Design Studio to help them choose the right aluminium sliding doors and windows for their home.
COASTAL HOME REFURBISHMENT
The large expanses of glass meant the thermal efficiency of the AluK windows and doors was paramount to ensure that the house could comply with Building Regulations. Double glazed, the BRE Green Guide A-rated 58BW windows and BSF70 bifold doors achieved U-values of 1.4W/m2K. These products enabled the owners to achieve a modern look and feel, and optimise the light coming into the house and garden room, making the most of their view.
SEMI-DETACHED HOUSE IN LONDON
At AluK, we aim to help all our customers choose the perfect door and window systems for their home. We recently helped a customer who was completely refurbishing the property, a beautiful semi-detached house in the heart of Greenwich, London.
BARN STYLE HOUSE WITH CONTEMPORARY LOOK
In creating their dream home, the owners wanted to reduce the width of the sightlines and increase the glazed area to allow more daylight into their property. Originally designed with PVC-U windows and doors, the homeowners felt the need to upgrade and use a more sustainable material – aluminium. To retain as much of the traditional and original look of any barn or barn style house, slim frame aluminium windows are strongly recommended for a modern yet sympathetic upgrade.
TARDIS BUNGALOW
The artist behind @snowwindows has recreated the exterior of the renovated house in all its ‘snowy glory’ in the three giant AluK 58BW windows which frame the first floor landing.
The property started life as a bungalow but, over the past 18 months, has been transformed into a two-storey home, with the journey from small to spectacular being documented on Instagram (@tardis_bungalow_renovation).
