32 JUNE 2015 PRO INSTALLER PRO NEWS www.proinstaller.co.uk Creating a Spanish beauty Bespoke sliding doors from Reynaers at Home have helped to create a luxurious Spanish villa, effortlessly combining state-of-the-art performance with arresting aesthetics. A Flying Start Casa Las Palmeras was designed by architect Valentín de Madariaga and his fabricator partner Grupo Moncada. They used a total of 18 sets of sliding patio doors throughout the home, to create a smooth transition from interior to exterior. The sliding doors, specially designed by Reynaers based on the Hi-Finity system, were chosen thanks to their incredibly slim sight lines and fully auto- mated mechanism, allowing the homeowner to open and close the doors at the push of a button. Fabricator José Miguel Moncada of Grupo Moncada says: “These specially designed doors are 5.9m high and weigh 285kg. The pace of construction forced us to finish in record time; the entire project was completed in nine months.” The Hi-Finity sliding elements installed by Grupo Moncada had the tracks set deeply into the floor at specific points, with the top and side profiles integrated into the walls. The only thing that remained visible was the meeting section of the minimalistic profiles. The sliding door has been cleverly designed so that the outer frame can be concealed behind the surrounding wall, making wall-to-wall and floor-to-ceiling glass a possibility in any home. Marketing Manager at Reynaers Rebecca Cope said: “This project was very much a bespoke solution, but the unique design means that even the heaviest of these doors will glide open and closed with minimal effort.” A new plastic building products supplier in Manchester has been given a flying start thanks to the backing of Kestrel. The leading PVCUE roofline and cladding manufacturer has taken Fineline Plastics under its wing as the start up seeks to create a name for itself in the area.
