New Windows and Doors in Slateford, Edinburgh
Take a look at the photos below from one of our recent projects on Lanark Road, Slateford.
This impressive self-build project showcases a stunning combination of large-scale glazing and contemporary aluminium systems, carefully designed to maximise natural light and create a seamless connection between the indoor and outdoor spaces. A standout feature of the project is the expansive 10-panel aluminium bifolding door, spanning more than 10 metres in width and creating a truly open-plan feel when fully opened.
To complement the modern design of the property, the project also included exceptionally large triple glazed units throughout, allowing for uninterrupted views while maintaining excellent thermal performance. All glazing systems were supplied using our fully thermally broken aluminium frames, helping the property achieve the high levels of energy efficiency required for a modern self-build home.
In addition to the main glazing package, the client selected one of our stylish aluminium double entrance doors complete with sleek stainless steel handles, perfectly tying together the contemporary aesthetic of the build. The finished result is a bright, energy-efficient home with clean architectural lines and an impressive modern appearance.
