WESTBURY WINDOWS & JOINERY


Westbury has established a reputation for manufacturing top quality timber windows and doors with design, durability and sustainability in mind. They use engineered Accoya not just for its environmental credentials but also because of its supreme durability and stability. Using timber that does not twist or swell and is virtually rot- proof, Westbury can ensure that your bifold doors slide smoothly for years.

Emperor Concealed Aluminium Bi-folding doors have no unsightly hinges breaking up the clean lines of the doors. When closed, the cleverly engineered patented hinges are fully concealed within the door leaf, resulting in a contemporary, clean and aesthetically pleasing bifold door. When open they give you over a 90 per cent clear opening and have a uniquely designed flush-line handle, which allows for tight panel stacking.

Having purchased an apartment in the conservation area of Barnsbury Square, North London, the clients were seeking to add a master bedroom and en-suite bathroom, and to create an outdoor space where they could enjoy the rooftop views. The conversion of the attic presented the architects with a number of challenges, primarily the need to be sensitive to the character of this conservation area and the requirement to respect the stringent planning restrictions governing the roofline. Mindful of the need to maintain the roofline, free of any bulky external casing, and yet keen to make the master bedroom feel light and airy, Azman Architects incorporated two large skylights into the roof. Glazing Vision’s Flushglaze flat rooflights, one single unit and one modular unit in two sections were specified for these skylights and were both precision engineered to fit. Their minimalist external finish ensured that the external aspect of the roof remained unchanged and thus adhered to the local planning restrictions. The lack of any external cladding meant that dirt would also not be trapped above the rooflights, which was seen as an important additional benefit. Critically Glazing Vision’s Flushglaze fixed rooflights, ensured that far from negatively impacting on the low ceiling, the room height was actually maximized and the natural light falling into the master bedroom and stairwell thereby optimized.

QUARTZ- PLUS facade has been used in


Hayward Smart Architects design of a two-storey home for one of its partners and which replaced a 1930’s bungalow within the Cotswolds Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The result is a contemporary home constructed using sustainable materials to provide a low carbon footprint. Designed so as not to extend above the height of the building it replaced, zinc rainwater systems have also been


used, the end result complementing natural dry stone walling and timber boarding to the principal elevations.
