A family home with amazing open-plan access

A generously-proportioned modern house with upgrades and conversions to make a wonderful family home.

Though constructed within the last 20 years, this house needed a rethink in order to achieve its status as a real family home. The re-modelling and extension project undertaken by these home owners seemed to reach every corner of the house.

Extending the existing footprint and converting the garage space into a long, open family room has provided an area for relaxation, music and perhaps even homework! Throughout the house the owners have chosen uPVC flush sash windows for style, strength and security. Due to the inherent qualities of high grade uPVC, flush sash windows won’t rot, warp, rust, bow, crack or discolour over the years. But more than that, they look great; designed to replicate the appearance of timber with sleek, slimline frames and authentic colours, uPVC flush sash windows are ideal for any property where the sash fits flush into the frame. They are available in a wide range of foiled colours, in this case, anthracite grey.

The rear of the property has been remodelled into the ubiquitous kitchen-diner graced with aïr sliding doors to give a real feel of open space and easy access to the garden with minimal interference from glazing bars. The lift and glide doors also have the option to lock at any point along the track for safety, ventilation and security.

One of our favourite features is the front entrance, with a Solidor French door with a slave door which allows an opening of up to 1.8m.

"Excellent team and excellent work! Highly recommend! From office staff, sales team, design team to the installation team, everyone was very professional.

"We had quotes for French doors from a few local companies but when Joe from Windows Etc came to measure up, he was so professional and thorough, that helped me make my choice and I was not disappointed! Keith and Luke came on the day to fit them and when finished, they explained everything, asking if I was happy with the job. I most certainly am."
