Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors in Reading

Abbey Windows have over 30 years of experience with installing fantastic double glazing products in homes throughout Reading and the surrounding areas. We are dedicated to working with homeowners like you to make sure that your home improvements go exactly as planned.

This particular client selected Abbey Windows for a number of reasons, with our recognition as a Which? Trusted Trader impressing them from the start. We are also proud of our accredited Origin installers, who are trained by the best in the business to install market-leading products.

The primary intention is this construction project was to maximise the existing available space with an extension. At the same time the owners wanted to maintain a beautiful view of the garden without suffering from the ‘greenhouse effect’ that can occur in conservatories with large panes.

Custom-Made Double Glazing

By working with our customer, we realised that an orangery would be the perfect answer to his requirements. With more of a solid structure and less focus on large window panes, orangeries can offer the perfect combination of natural light and privacy that conservatories and homes cannot.

The homeowner was also certain that they wanted to connect the orangery to two separate rooms, which we were more than able to accommodate. This helped to build the illusion of a larger overall living space, and we worked to maintain the living room aesthetic that the customer preferred.

During production the homeowners also decided that our aluminium bi-folding doors would be more suitable for their new product that the traditional patio doors they originally had in mind. This allowed for an even more spacious feeling, with the orangery blending seamlessly into the patio.

The Perfect Middle Ground – The Verdict

The finished product was a bespoke orangery that provides our customer with all of the features and benefits of modern engineering. The perfect summer space for entertaining guests, this new extension manages to blend the privacy of the home with the space of the conservatory.

Our installation team thoroughly enjoyed working with this homeowner, who had only good things to say of us. Applauding the team’s efficiency, he noted that he ‘can’t fault any of them. The people who did the groundwork were efficient, clean and tidy…there was minimum disruption to us’.

Claiming that he would work with Abbey Windows again in the future, this customer has left our business ecstatic at the quality of his new product. So get in contact with Abbey Windows yourself for orangeries that offer maximum security and incredible thermal efficiency for an affordable price.

Superb Aluminium Bi-Fold Door Installation in Wokingham, carried out by the expert Abbey Windows team.

When a family in Wokingham decided to install aluminium bi-fold doors into their home in Wokingham, they wanted the best.

This is why they turned to Abbey Windows, and they were particularly impressed that Origin doors are entirely manufactured in the UK. It’s a commitment we make here at Abbey, to keep our double glazed doors as energy-efficient as possible by making sure they have been manufactured in the UK.

Our Wokingham customers visited Abbey Windows showroom in Reading to see how the doors look, and to see how well the doors performed in terms of functionality.

The family have a holiday home in France and wanted a room in their UK home that welcomed in natural sunlight, and gave the home a bright, contemporary feel. They chose Abbey Windows to help create this atmosphere by designing beautiful aluminium bi-fold doors for their home.

Ultimate in Open Plan Living

With a range of fold configurations and panel styles available, it was easy for our Wokingham customers to find the perfect aluminium sliding doors for them.

The couple specified a three door set-up, where there’s a main traffic door and the rest of the doors fold and slide in the same direction, creating as much space as possible.

Origin’s Aluminium Bi-Folding Doors are incredibly thermally efficient, a feature that the couple were particularly looking for.

As the doors are made from high grade aluminium, the frames are manufactured to be very narrow, which means the doors provide the maximum view of the garden.

There are multiple finishes and RAL colours available for the doors and our Wokingham customers chose a classic white fit to complement their home and to blend with the aesthetic of the existing window frames and colour. Our customers can now enjoy the garden room they always wanted.

“The whole structure of the garden room is perfect – the living area has an open plan feel so we can really enjoy our garden. It also serves as an ideal entertaining space! We love the influx of light that seems to pour in throughout the day – it reminds us of our holiday home in France.

We handed everything over to the Abbey team who went through it step by step to completion.  The opening has changed the way we view and use the house in such a positive way. It was the change we needed to fall in love with our home all over again – we certainly won’t be moving any time soon!”

The family regularly have holidays in France and the couple wanted to bring that feeling of relaxation and hospitality to their Wokingham home.

Stunning Orangery Designed For Reading Family By The Abbey Windows Double Glazing Team.

Abbey Windows have recently completed an Orangery installation with Origin Bi-Fold Doors for a family in Reading and the results are spectacular.

Our customers wanted to create more space towards the back of their property and to open up their living area. They also wanted to make full use of their garden in the summer months.

We guided the family through our Orangery designs and came up with the perfect solution for their Caversham home.

What Is an Orangery?

Orangeries are the grand 17th century predecessors to the modern conservatory and were typically expressions of wealth and status for the elite (those who could afford to keep citrus trees).

The primary difference between an Orangery and Conservatory is that an orangeries are primarily made up of brick in keeping with the brickwork of the house or building it is built onto. Providing better insulation from the elements.

Today, Orangeries exude the same air of luxury and elegance as their stately ancestors. They make for exceptional sunrooms for relaxing or entertaining guests. Orangeries are a truly valuable addition to your Reading home.

We created the ideal Orangery to complement the Caversham home. A contemporary design allowing for the maximum amount of light to enter the home whilst still maintaining privacy.

Orangery with Aluminum Bi-Fold Doors

Origin’s Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors open out onto the garden patio giving the family complete versatility. These revolutionary aluminium doors break down the barrier between home and garden inviting the outdoors into their Reading property.

When the aluminium bi-folding doors are open, the body of the Orangery leads seamlessly out onto the garden bringing fresh air, space and light into the living space. When closed, the aluminium bi-fold doors offer the highest security with a Yale Shootbolt locking system, an anti-lift catch and tamper-proof aluminium hinges.

Our aluminium bi fold doors also boast a 20-year manufacturer’s guarantee directly with Origin!

Fitting the Orangery Roof

We designed a bespoke glass roof for the Orangery which sits flawlessly against the L-shaped structure of the Reading home. The family opted for a flat roof around the perimeter of the Orangery in keeping with the lines of the house.

The Orangery Roof was created using a high-quality, structural grade aluminium profile.

We then capped and cladded the Orangery with low maintenance thermal uPVC capping board fascias and claddings. The ideal finishing for a maintenance free Orangery.

Orangeries: Glass Extensions for your Home

Orangery extensions are becoming ever more popular and it’s no wonder. There are endless benefits to Orangeries. They are visually striking yet entirely practical and energy efficient. Beautiful glass rooms that you can use all year round!

This happy family in Reading finds that in the summer, it’s great to open up their new Origin Bi-Fold Doors and use the garden as an extra addition to the living space. Whereas, in the winter, it becomes a homely and cosy den.

This new room adds a further dimension to their Reading property and provides a seamless link between their home and the garden.

This holiday home in Bournemouth required modernising by replacing drafty timber windows and doors. But with the property being almost 200 years old, the homeowner requiring us to both retain the period character whilst creating an open yet warm feel, we did used Astragal Bar PVC windows and a beautiful set of Origin Bi Fold Doors.
