A beautifully designed chalet-style house in Hastings, fitted with our latest generation contemporary windows and doors at the front, side and rear of this stylish detached family home with substantial gardens and patio area.
Our customers wanted to improve their living space with a fresh look, better views, and smoother access to their outdoor area. Our task was to deliver stylish, secure, and energy-conscious products, carefully matched to the property’s architecture.
Front Elevation: Slimline Aluminium Windows
The front of the house now has our slimline aluminium windows with flatline profiles and clean sightlines. Each bay window on the ground floor front elevation includes two side-hung opening panes and two fixed central sections, providing a well-balanced look. The windows open outwards, allowing fresh air while maintaining weather protection on rainy days.
On the first floor, there are three single top-hung windows, each opening as a full pane. This design keeps the overall exterior neat and ensures a bright interior and ventilation is at it’s maximum.
Every window is powder-coated in a contemporary grey finish, bringing a uniform appearance across the house. Trickle vents sit at the top of each unit, meeting Building Regulations and allowing controlled ventilation. A colour-matched cill beneath these windows helps to deflect water, stopping it from pooling on the sills or brickwork.
Rear Elevation: Bifold Doors for an Open-Plan Lifestyle
At the back of this modern home, our contemporary windows and doors focus on creating an open, flowing connection between the interior, the large decked patio area and the beautiful lawned garden. We fitted two sets of bifolding doors: one with five panels and another with three. Both sets share the same dark grey shade (RAL 7016) and feature a consistent style. This ensures a balanced look when viewed from inside or outside. All our bifold doors are latest generation designs, with premium hardware providing a light and smooth folding sliding action. Effortless to open, function, safe and convenient, and expertly installed by us.
The larger five-panel set serves the main living area. Opening outwards, the doors provide a wide passage to the patio. When fully opened, they stack neatly to the side, creating a clear walkway and letting in fresh air on warm days. This design transforms the living space into an indoor-outdoor room, ideal for relaxation or entertaining.
The three-panel bifold doors are part of the dining room, giving a more compact solution that still benefits from a large glazed area. They also fold to the side, maintaining a seamless threshold with the same fully weathered design used on the bigger set.
Slimline Aluminium Windows at the Rear
Alongside the bifold doors, more slimline windows complete the rear elevation. These follow the same visual principles as the front windows, with slim sashes and a flatline profile. A fixed pane and a top-hung opener form each unit. This provides light and ventilation, while the grey powder-coated finish brings a unified appearance across the entire house.
