Purchased by its current owners in the 1990s , the chapel had been empty for thirty years when refurbishment work began in 2013 . Much of the interior timber structure was beyond repair , and the 1,517 square foot site required extensive reconstruction work to make it habitable again .

Now , however , thanks to the efforts of the building ’ s owners and award-winning architects Evolution Design , the Chapel on the Hill has become a luxurious hotel capable of accommodating 7 guests .

Vista added the finishing touch with an XtremeDoor powder-coated a striking red , chosen to precisely match the colour of the building ’ s windows .

The project has gone on to win an A ’ Design Award in the Architecture , Building and Structure Design category for 2015-2016 , The International Property

Award for the best Interior Design Private Residence North East England , and a Daily Telegraph Homebuilding and Renovating Award for best conversion

Keith Sadler , Vista Managing Director , commented : “ We ’ re absolutely delighted to see one of our doors installed on such a spectacular renovation project .

When people talk about the strengths of the Xtreme- Door , they ’ ll often start with its superb security credentials , weather resistance or thermal efficiency – but just

as crucial to its success has been its aesthetic versatility . With virtually endless colour choices and a huge array of glazing , hardware and other options , installers can perfectly

tailor an XtremeDoor to the look and character of any property – an extremely valuable USP in the modern marketplace .

“ We constantly strive to make XtremeDoor the best it can possibly be – offering the widest range of colours , styles and hardware options , and working continually to find ways to further improve its already industry-leading performance . Just recently , we ’ ve upgraded the product with a 100 % thicker GRP skin , and added two new colours to the XtremeDoor range . Now , the XtremeDoor isn ’ t just the UK ’ s best-performing composite door – it can also be completely customised to match any homeowner ’ s taste , and suit any property or project .”

Recently upgraded , the product now offers a 100 % thicker GRP skin and an upgraded five-hook lock .

Eurocell has reconfigured its popular Dales Collection range of composite doors to increase and improve aesthetic choice , security and resilience .

The company has introduced three new panel designs – the Elton , Hartington and Newhaven – which deliver on trend farmhouse and contemporary styles . The three designs are complemented by six more glass patterns to increase choice for the specifier , developer and end-user .

The additional door and glass introductions bring the total of Dales Collection front and back composite door combinations to 15 styles in 15 colours and 18 glazing options , from modern chic to traditional Edwardian or cottage style .

The colours are in three groups : contemporary , such as anthracite grey and moondust grey ; standard , like rosewood and berry red ; and heritage such as duck egg blue ( all made to order ). Dales Collection doors are also available with colour-matched weather bars .

Security assured

With security and peace of mind very much on the agenda , Eurocell has improved both the structural stability of its door panels and its locking hardware .

A new accredited five-point multi-locking system with adjustable keeps has been introduced , providing an improved weather rating . The new design also includes an increase of the outer GRP skin thickness from 2mm to 4mm .

The collection is now fitted with the Tri-Sis glazing cassette which can be deglazed internally without damaging the door panel or affecting the security performance of the door overall .

The locking system , plus the thickness and glazing modifications , means that the new doors

are all now compliant with the requirements of AD Q , achieving PAS 23 / 24:2016 accreditation , which includes the challenging PAS 24:2016 ‘ Cut Through ’ test .

Low maintenance design GRP doors are less prone to scratching and denting than

steel-faced doors . A high-quality triple-seal frame system ensures Dales Collection doors can give outstanding performance for many years and two brush seals and a gasket seal prevent drafts and rain causing problems .
