New Windows and Doors in Granton, Edinburgh
Browse the images below showcasing one of our latest projects completed in Granton, Edinburgh.
Our clients in Granton had long envisioned creating their own bespoke dream home, designed to combine modern aesthetics with outstanding performance. From the very first discussions with the architect, it was clear that this would be a technically demanding project, particularly due to the requirement for exceptionally low U-values and the extensive use of glazing throughout the property.
To meet both the design and energy-efficiency goals, the client selected our premium Timber Aluclad system. The project features a carefully chosen combination of French doors, sliding doors, bifolding doors, casement windows, tilt & turn windows, and large fixed glazed units, all working together to maximise natural light while maintaining excellent thermal performance.
Completing the contemporary appearance of the home are our Schüco-designed aluminium front doors, equipped with advanced biometric fingerprint recognition technology for both convenience and security. The end result is a striking, light-filled property that perfectly balances style, functionality, and modern living.
