CONSERVATORIES

Luxury Brand Launched
»»FOLLOWING
unprecedented interest at the FIT
Show, Prefix Systems has now
formally launched its integrated
Opus system of composite
windows, doors, lantern and
conservatory roofs and also
a proven ‘warm’ Orangery
solution.
It’s a product design that
brings together the proven
performance of aluminium and
the sheer beauty of hardwood
timber in perfect harmony. Opus
represents a complete system
of luxury casement windows,
along with French, residential
and bi-folding doors, and both
lantern, conservatory and iX250
Orangery roof solutions.
For architects and those
consumers averse to PVCu
as a material, it’s the perfect
near maintenance free design,
that’s not only considered to
last for many years, but can
be individually tailored for
each project. There are literally
hundreds of exterior RAL
colours to chose from, a range
of hardwood finishes to the
inside and even the adoption of
the latest multi-point locking
solutions, security upgrades and
solar control glass.
It’s very much a tactile
product that needs to be seen
and with this in mind Prefix

Systems has manufactured a
number of sample windows
in branded Opus bags, with
premium brochures for eager
installation companies. All the
design options in the range are
carefully manufactured in the UK
by experienced and time served
craftsmen, adding to the luxury
proposition that is Opus.
The first few installations have
been completed incorporating
various window, door and roofing
combinations from the system,
with all those involved in each
respective project thrilled with
the performance and undeniable
beauty of the products carefully
installed. With period inspired
greens and contemporary greys
likely to be the most popular
external finishes, Opus is a
product equally adaptive to both
period inspired properties and
more modern homes.
Chris Baron, Co-Director
of Prefix Systems, commented:
“Opus is a luxury brand in every
sense of the word and will open
up new sales channels for our
customers. With the performance
of aluminium to the outside
and the timeless elegance of
hardwood to the interior we
believe that we’ve taken glazed
product design to a new level.”

Impressive
house re-model
»»A NORTH-WALES BASED
Architect called in the services
of PatioMaster North West
recently, when re-modelling his
home.
The project, a modern garden
room extension with an atrium
roof light, was at the home
of Matthew Jones, who owns
his own Architects Practice.
PatioMaster North West, one of
PatioMaster’s nine dealers across
the UK and Ireland, fabricated
the 4 pane patio doors in slate
grey on white sliding doors,
while local installer company,
A55 Plastics, completed the
installation and as homeowner
Matthew explains, the results are
stunning: “We are really pleased
with the finished results, the
doors met all our expectations
in terms of fit, finish and quality
and the project was completed
on time and within budget;
one of the reasons we choose
PatioMaster North West in the
first place.”
PatioMaster North West fits
doors into any home and style
of building; another reason why
Matthew choose the company:
“Our main aim with the re-

model was to let as much light
in to the room as possible, and
give us optimal views out to
the garden with the maximum
opening for nice days. We went
for 2.4m high floor to window
doors to achieve a maximum
view of the sky, and the grey
exterior gives the look of
aluminium and the white inside
lends a clean, minimal look
and complements the property
perfectly.”
Installer, A55 Plastics, has
been installing new plastics,
windows and conservatories
to customers across North
Wales for 20 years. Mark Leach
explains: “The installation
took about half a day, and we
were recommended to the
homeowner via a mutual friend
who we had also done some
installation work for.”
PatioMaster offers a
comprehensive support
package to its fabricators, and
by working through a small
network of local craftsmen,
also offers a dedicated and local
service for homeowners.
