Bespoke system helps create stunning home
B
espoke sliding doors from Reynaers at Home have helped to create a luxurious Spanish villa, effortlessly combining state-
of-the-art performance with arresting aesthetics. Casa Las Palmeras was designed by architect Valentín de Madariaga and his fabri- cator partner Grupo Moncada. They used a total of 18 sets of sliding patio doors throughout the home, to create a smooth transition from inte- rior to exterior. The sliding doors, specially designed by Reynaers based on the Hi-Finity system, were chosen thanks to their incredibly slim sight lines and fully automated mechanism, allowing the homeowner to open and close the doors at the push of a button. José Miguel Moncada of Grupo Moncada
says: “These specially designed doors are 5.9m high and weigh 285kg. The pace of construc- tion forced us to finish in record time; the entire project was completed in nine months.” The Hi-Finity sliding elements installed by
Grupo Moncada had the tracks set deeply into the floor at specific points, with the top and side
profiles integrated into the walls. The only thing that remained visible was the meeting section of the minimalistic profiles. The sliding door has been cleverly designed so that the outer frame can be concealed behind the surrounding wall, making wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling glass a possibility in any home. Marketing Manager at Reynaers Rebecca Cope says: “This project was very much a

bespoke solution, but the unique design means that even the heaviest of these doors will glide open and closed with minimal effort.” Reynaers at Home is a premium brand dedicated to offering the very best architectural glazing products and service to the discerning householder and self-builder.

Synseal’s best-selling hybrid orangery, Global Summer, is now available in an extended range of building extension footprint styles thanks to a new 90 degree internal corner casting. Fashioned from sturdy cast aluminium, Global Summer’s corner castings com- plement the aluminium decorative external fascia to ensure a neat fitted appearance. Launched in May 2012, Global Summer was initially available in Georgian, Victorian and Gable con- servatory styles which cater for the vast
majority of orangery applications but the new 90 degree casting now allows more complex T-shaped and P-shaped orangeries to be constructed.
The inherent strength of their frames means that steel windows are the best for safeguarding against unwanted intruders. One of the best deterrents to a thief is the traditional ‘cottage’ style steel window, divided into small panes, with interlocked steel glazing bars. Steel Window Association members offer W40 steel windows that comply with Secured by Design requirements. The strength and security of steel windows and doors is optimised with appropriate hardware.
When manufacturing new windows, Steel Window Association members provide locking devices, locking handles, concealed bolts and mortice deadlocks.
