DOORS&WINDOWS

Stunningly Beautiful with a Twist
»»Supplied by Origin, the
award winning British
manufacturer of bi-folding doors,
the construction company of this
beautiful new build project in
Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire,
specified a ten door set of bi-folding
doors with a moving corner
post, plus a five door set and
incorporated four roof lanterns to
increase the vast amount of natural
light filling the rooms.
This new build project,
spanning 8,500sq ft, has gone
up for sale after being completed
in February 2014.The seven
bedroom build has been designed
to blend in with the authentic
style of its surrounding area and
offers all the detail of a period
property with a modern twist.
The house developers who
undertook this impressive task
specialise in building premium
quality, high specification homes
and originally started out by
building small extensions, but

gradually worked up to bigger
projects. In fact, the minimum
project now undertaken by the
developers is 4,000sq ft.
This Victorian styled property
conveys a wide range of
architectural styles, from early
classicism inherited from Regency
architecture to design touches
from the Queen Anne period,
all injected into the new build.
To the right hand side of the
property is an unexpected one
level modern extension, with
streamlined design, incorporating
the Origin bi-folding doors.
This modern wing encompasses
the kitchen and dining room,
plus an extended seating area.
These three rooms merge into
one open planned space creating
a contemporary living area.
There is an abundance of natural
light generated from two sets of
bi-folds that run the length of
the property, providing transition
between house and garden.

The construction company
decided upon aluminium bi-folds
after experiencing problems with
PVC-u and timber. The doors
integrated are made from high
grade aluminium, in keeping with
the contemporary living area.
The ten door set is a five by five
corner bi-fold configuration, with
the far set operating around a 90°
angle clear opening. This set-up
provides a completely frameless
corner, with unrestricted views
of the garden. Each door panel
measures 793mm X 2289mm
filling an aperture of 8163mm.
The five door fits in an aperture
of 3997mm with each door leaf
measuring 765mm wide by a
standard height of approximately
2289mm.
The aluminium doors are
powder-coated in anthracite grey
on the exterior, whilst the interior
is in hipca white to maintain
a modern fresh look. Due to
the bespoke nature of Origin’s
bi-folding doors, the interior and
exterior door frames can be any
combination of different colours.
So whilst the outside of the doors
can match the external fixtures
and fittings of the house, the
interior frame can be a different
colour to match the room.
Made from high grade
aluminium, the doors provide the
right combination of strength and
weight, allowing for a narrow and
more aesthetically pleasing frame
but with easy movement through
the large opening.

The house has been decorated
to a high specification throughout
by using an interior designer to
offer an opulent, luxurious feel
in every room. The entirety of
the project took from the end of
2012 through to February 2014,
with the actual building starting
to take place in March 2013.
Award winning Origin is
the UK’s leading specialist
manufacturer of bespoke
aluminium folding sliding
doors. It was recently voted
Best Glazing Product by Build
It Magazine and winner of EEF
regional manufacturing awards
for its ‘Your Lead Time Not Ours’
service.
