New Windows and Doors in Kingsknowe, Edinburgh
Check out the photos below from one of our recently completed projects on Lanark Road, Kingsknowe.
This striking self-build home features an impressive blend of contemporary aluminium glazing systems and expansive glass installations, all designed to flood the property with natural light and enhance the connection between the interior and exterior spaces. One of the key highlights of the project is the stunning 10-panel aluminium bifolding door, spanning over 10 metres in width and creating a beautifully open and versatile living area when fully opened.
The property also incorporates large triple glazed units throughout, carefully selected to maximise natural light while delivering outstanding thermal efficiency and year-round comfort. Every glazing element was installed using our fully thermally broken aluminium systems, helping the home meet the high energy performance standards expected from a modern self-build project.
To complete the overall design, the client also chose one of our elegant aluminium double entrance doors featuring contemporary stainless steel handles, adding the perfect finishing touch to the exterior of the property. The end result is a stylish, energy-efficient home with clean architectural detailing and a modern, luxurious feel throughout.
