A Whole House, Front to Garden
A drone film over a remodelled family house near Windermere — descending onto the render-and-brick front elevation and its bay windows, then rising over the ridge to the glazed garden room and lantern behind.

Courtyard Garden Room, Brick Barn-Style New Build
A tracking film along a brick courtyard range in South Lakeland — paired aluminium French doors, full-height fixed screens between brick piers and a bifolding return onto sandstone paving.
Why this system exists
01
Designed as a facade element
Oversized leaves, flush faces, concealed hinges and full-height glazed sidelights that suit contemporary and traditional stone alike.
02
Hardware you notice
Brushed bronze, satin stainless and matt black ironmongery, plus keyless and biometric entry options.
03
Thermally serious
Insulated cores and thermally broken frames keep an entrance hall comfortable, not draughty.
04
Heritage steel-look designs
Slender bars and traditional proportions for period entrances — with our wider aluminium single and French door offering covering glazed garden, side and rear openings.
Cottage, contemporary or statement
Whether the brief is a traditional cottage entrance, a modern anthracite statement door or a heritage-inspired design with decorative glazing, we hold a considerable range of styles, colours and hardware options and will present a shortlist rather than a catalogue.
For glazed garden, side and rear openings — including classic double-door proportions — see our aluminium single doors and aluminium French doors, which share the same finishes and detailing.
Considered detailing is what separates a fitted window from a finished one.
