• Black Heritage French doors in London

  Two recent installations completed by Aspire Bifolds of black heritage French doors in London homes designed with two or more door sets, fixed glass panels and in bespoke designs.

  The benefit of choosing any of our steel-look door products and crafting black heritage french doors is getting an authentic look of Art-Deco, industrial and steel-look designs at a fraction of the cost of the genuine steel product.

  Black heritage French doors with feature gable head

  

  Our first example uses black heritage French doors using our 70mm steel-look system. Here, we’ve crafted two sets of double doors with two sidelights in between and a series of twelve fixed panel toplights arranged as a gable head.

  Fitted to a new extension at the back of a detached London home, these doors create a bold looking set of patio doors with size and height filling the new extension with natural daylight and impressive views out to the garden. Rooflights above add a further stream of daylight in all weathers, giving a fantastic atmosphere inside this new kitchen extension.

  Black heritage French doors with sidelights in Surrey

  

  This substantial extension of a beautiful Surrey property features four sets of black heritage French doors, three at the front and a further set on the side return.

  Here we’ve used our slimline door system in the steel look with central double doors and sidelights on each side. Above the doors are fixed panels creating a popular design in the look of old steel patio doors.

  As this is a new build extension, and meeting current Part L Building Regulations for ventilation, each of these doors has a trickle ventilator, discreetly fitted at the head of each door set.

  Steel-look doors used within cladding

  

  A slightly different installation here, midway through its construction of black heritage French doors fitted with cedar cladding in a garden room.

  Double doors in the centre and independent side panels are coupled together to create consistent sightlines at the mullions. Slimline hinges and door handle add to the sleek appearance.

  Black heritage French doors in a dramatic home extension

  

  The heritage look of our steel look patio door product, combines an offset gable head and fitted within this contemporary design to a terraced Victorian London home.

  The design of this altogether different extension has a single door at the left of the screen and a further set of double doors offset on the right. Therefore, there are two ways to access the large patio area. The smaller door for quick access or ventilation, the larger doors fully open on warmer days.

• Contemporary Garden Room in Surrey

  Our latest installation of a contemporary garden room in Surrey adding a new useable space to a modern Banstead home.

  

  Light Grey Insulated Contemporary Garden Room in Surrey

  Constructed from our insulated wall sections in the modern Flint Grey colour, this large garden room features a luxury set of bifolding doors with a side floor-to-ceiling picture window. With a five-metre width and three-metre depth, this garden room provides ample space inside, perfect for all manner of uses and with excellent interior comfort.

  First of all are the thick insulated glass walls clad in our low-maintenance composite material. This contemporary garden room in Surrey never needs painting or staining and is easy to live with and keep clean. At the same time, the exterior composite cladding material provides a modern wood-like appearance, tactile and offers a colour and style that’ll never go out of fashion. The roof and rear wall as well as the overhang above are also fully insulated.

  High quality garden room with top-specification bifolding doors

  Then is the five panel set of luxurious bifolding doors using the best-in-class Origin aluminium brand. Powder coated in a dark grey finish, the bifolding doors feature a traffic door. This door provides easy everyday access in and out of the garden pod, without having to fold the panels back every time. And when you do want to open up the front of our garden room, these bifolds neatly stack to the one side, maximising the clear opening.

  The doors are the same quality found in any home. As a result they provide the same excellent levels of insulation, security, weather protection and reliability. They secure with an eight-point locking system at the lock side. The intermediate panels have their own two point locking engaging at the top and bottom. Throughout the door set in highly insulated toughened glass. A durable powder coated finish completes the look and again low-maintenance and easy to keep clean.

  The large side picture window

  Adding even more light at the side is a large full-height fixed window. It’s powder-coated in the same color as the doors and also has double-glazed toughened safety glass. Where other garden rooms only come with the doors at the front, our entire pods range is provided with a side window. The interior light is even better making our garden rooms perfect for leisure, work, or any other use.

  Aspire Pods – designed for all-year-round use

  The high-tech construction of every Aspire Pod makes them ideal for all-year-round use. As well as its full insulation, there’s lighting and power as well as additional options such as heating or cooling.

  This contemporary garden room in Surrey is furnished for entertainment and relaxation. There’s room for a small bar for summer drinks. The walls support a large television for movies or sport. And the spacious interior easily fits a sofa and other furniture or accessories.

  Inside the room is the option for our standard wall construction or plastered walls ready for decorating in any colour. We’ve taken care of all the small details, ensuring our gorgeous contemporary garden room in Surrey gives this home a spectacular new room to enjoy every day of the year.

  Heritage Timber-Look Windows in Surrey to a traditional bay fronted home

  Residence 9 is arguably the most luxurious and high-end PVCu system on the market today. Unlike any other window in PVCu you’ll see.

  First of all is its advanced engineering and overall design. It’s created to replicate timber windows of old as authentically as possible. Every fine detail is considered with this window brand. Elegant lines, signature design details and a very accurate replica of high end joinery and period windows.

This design, again typical of classic windows in London and Surrey homes, features the dummy sash design. The fixed window panes comprise the same profiles as the opening elements. As a result, all the sightlines are consistent, just like original timber windows.

  Even the construction of these windows replicates find joinery. You don’t see the corner welds of modern PVCu windows. Instead Residence 9 features mitre cuts and mechanical joints, just like the originals.

  Classic window designs with 21st Century window technology.

  Replicating the look and feel of the originals, these timber-look windows in Surrey comprise design, innovation and technical excellence. The frames are 100mm deep like the original wood windows. Then they comprise multiple chambers giving A++ window energy ratings. There’s even a triple glazed option.

  High security locking, built-in protection features, excellent weather resistance and latest generation PVCu virgin profile. Just some of the high tech window features.

  Of course, how these windows look is essential to their authenticity. Residence 9 windows come in 23 different colour options. This installation is in the Painwick finish. A foiled not painted classic colour found in cottages and stone buildings.

• Bespoke garden room in Surrey

  An Aspire Pod bespoke garden room built for a client in Worcester Park, Surrey. This contemporary garden room comes in a bespoke design, a departure from our popular range of standard size garden pods.

  

  Contemporary bespoke garden room in Worcester Park, Surrey

  Built at the end of the garden to a wonderful detached family home in Worcester Park is our one-off design. Measuring an impressive 7.5m wide and 4.6m deep, the end result is a substantial room that’ll create any number of uses for the family.

  Our customer wanted to create a social and relaxing space with the option of also having a large enough decking area at the front of the garden room. Internally the requirement was a calm space that also came with convenience.

  The design of this garden room creates a larger and wider space, also giving the room more depth and space internally. A large set of doors on the right creates a large glazed entrance with a window on the left-hand side. The side and rear elevations come fully cladded with a window fitted to the right-hand side.

  Exterior Design

  To the outside is our composite cladding material supplied in the popular grey colour. Our cladding creates a modern look with a tactile feel. As well as this, it’s built to withstand the British weather, won’t fade, warp or splinter like wood. And of course, it’s virtually maintenance-free.

  This particular colour is the ultra-modern Flint colour within our range. The doors and windows come in a contrasting matt grey finish. Internally is a dark grey floor.

  To the outside we’ve also provided our composite decking material with outside lighting to the canopy area in front of the doors.

  The Doors and Windows

  For the doors, we’ve created a four panel set of bifolding doors using a slimline premium aluminium system. For even better functionality, the doors operate as familiar French doors with a master leaf on the left, viewed from the outside. As a result, getting in an out of the garden room is easy.

  It’s in the spring and summer these doors come into their own. They’ll fully fold back neatly, opening up the garden room and connecting it seamlessly to the garden. Perfect!

  Bringing even more light into the garden room are the slimline aluminium windows at the front and side elevation. These come designed as a taller window unit with a large fixed bottom glazed panel. Above is an outward opening casement for ventilation and airflow.

  Also fitted to each window is a trickle ventilator at the head. The benefit of trickle ventilators is continued airflow into the space, freshening the air and preventing the build-up of excess moisture that’s created in any habitable area.

  All doors and windows in this bespoke garden room in Surrey come with high-end handles with the latest multi-point locking systems. The doors come fitted with high security cylinders too. We provide the latest glazing throughout, 28mm units having a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars and argon gas fill. The doors come with safety glass and also to the lower pane of the windows.

  The windows and doors also feature the latest in thermally insulated aluminium with a durable matt powder-coated finish.

  Interior Design and Use

  Somewhat different to a conventional pod is the installation of a small contemporary kitchenette in the far corner. Given the substantial size of the property and it’s garden, the family has the facility to make a drink or prepare a light meal without having to walk back up to the main house.

  The rest of the space is now decorated in gorgeous dark colours with contrasting shades creating a wonderful atmosphere and with a clever choice of colour to the kitchenette, flooring and the accessories.

  To the left is a three panel door. This too has the convenient traffic door and folds all the way to the left.

  Using the Origin OB-49 slimline product delivers some of the thinnest sightlines on the market. As you can see with the doors closed, these look sleek and slim. At just 110mm wide, few doors on the market match Origin for minimalist looks and thin aluminium profiles.

  Our steel look doors and windows come with expert craftsmanship creating ARt-Deco, heritage or contemporary glazing. At the same time, they provide the energy efficiency, security and weather performance of modern aluminium and the latest engineering and technology .

  

  Black steel-look doors and windows in surrey

  This fine home features slimline patio doors and windows in our steel-look system. The products are both sympathetic to the original house architecture at the front and sides. At the same time, it creates a modern look at the back of the house too, with several sets of patio doors.

  Steel-look doors with sidelights

  Our best selling product is the French door set with matching sidelights. To this property, six different sets of doors create a wow factor to both the existing house at the back and the new extension.

  We make our steel-look doors differently from other suppliers. One of the most important features for getting a great industrial look is consistent sightlines. Our doors come with all the right profiles to the doors, the side and top panels and the glazing bars making up the multiple panel effect.

  The end result is a door set that offers neat lines throughout with matching lines on the horizontals and verticals. Even where the design needs added metal such as the door sashes and where the frames join together, even these elements combine to create an elegant looking screen.

  The doors come with multi-point locking, period door handles and flush bolts to the slave leaves. The familiar deep lock plate, typical of steel doors is also prominent.

  While this installation comes with standard slim bottom rails, we even offer the option of a deep bottom rail, again something found on a steel door.

  

  Black Steel look windows

  The slimline crafted aluminium windows to this fine home come in different sizes and configurations, but all feature side hung opening out vents with fixed panels.

  Again we’ve kept the sightlines consistent throughout to each window using slimline glazing bars, dummy sashes and thin outer frames.

  The windows come as standard with multi-point locks, secure locking handles, internal glazing beads and matching black window cills.

  Heritage Glazing and high performance glass

  An advanced window also needs high specification units.

  Throughout the property we’ve used highly insulated glass units having a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars and argon gas fill. 

  To the doors and sidelights the glass is toughened for protection, impact resistance and as part of current Building Regulations.

  A property of this size consist of substantial glass units. Every one of these comes with hand-applied glazing bars inside and out creating the iconic steel look with the multiple panels.
