The unique Woodura® technology makes the manufacturing process much more effi cient and environmentally friendly in terms of timber usage than traditional processes. Indeed only a tenth of the material normally used in hardwood fl ooring is required in the manufacture of Bjelin products. From an aesthetic point of view, every
Woodura Plank 3.0 is diff erent, and the beauty of the natural woodgrain is maximised. It also creates a stronger and more durable surface with a hardness three times greater than a traditional solid wood fl oor. On this project the fl ooring was chosen late
in the process after the building plans had taken shape and the wall colours had been decided. “We knew we wanted wooden
fl oors,” explains Sandra, the owner.

Open plan kitchens are hugely popular as they allow more natural light into the space. However, there’s a lot to be said for separate spaces, so the development of broken plan kitchens arrived. Steel windows incorporate the best of both worlds with internal partitions to break up the space, as well as external windows that maximise the area for light to enter the kitchen. Members of the Steel Window Association offer a UK wide service for the repair and replacement of various types of old metal
windows, doors and screens, as well as being able to manufacture new fenestration which fully meets building regulations.
