Orangery style extension

The new addition to the property is an orangery style extension, which has created a huge, open plan kitchen and living area. Central to the extension is a huge XP Glide triple track sliding door. The patio door spans six metres in width containing two slender 20mm sightlines to effectively create a glass wall to soak in the outward farmland views.

The returns of the extension are made up of two panoramic picture windows, with a large roof lantern overhead to create a light filled and contemporary space dominated by large format glazing.

Frameless balustrades

The master bedroom contains two full height tilt and turn windows which allows the homeowners to enjoy the wonderful views while upstairs also.

Our tilt and turn windows are perfect for bedrooms as they tilt inwards for much needed ventilation and they also swing inwards to open completely, just like a set of French doors.

We have integrated our frameless balustrade into the window system so the homeowners can benefit from a Juliet balcony that acts as a safety barrier but can barely be seen from the inside or outside. Installed at the same time as the window, a unique and frameless balustrade that provides the perfect solution for upper floor full height glazing and integrates perfectly with our door and windows.

Beautifully contemporary

This project is a great example of how installing modern products into traditional homes will create fantastic contemporary results. The whole project has been carried out wonderfully with the home still feeling warm with a timeless design.

The exterior of the home has retained its traditional charm thanks to the timber beams, tiled roof and arched heads but the new windows will ensure the home feels warm and secure. The rear extension is a testament to the quality of the design and the building contractors. The newly formed openings for the fully height windows, bi-fold doors and orangery extension look like they’ve always been there, seamlessly integrated into the main house and timber garage.

The interiors though are transformed, the renovation has opened the whole house, large open plan interiors that are bathed in natural light. The space is as flexible as it is functional with the sliding and bi-folding doors across the rear allowing the house to flow out to the garden, creating a seamless transition from inside to out.

Full height doors and windows have been positioned superbly within the master bedroom and across the rear elevation and orangery returns, providing modern full height glazing that make the most of the natural light and the beautiful Buckinghamshire countryside.
