Exceptional Composite Door Installation in Basingstoke by the Abbey team!

Our customers in Basingstoke had recently bought a new property and needed to replace the failing timber front doors.

The size of the original doors did not work for our customers who had a young family, as both original doors had to be opened at the same time to get reasonable access.

They were unable to push a pushchair through with just one door opened. They also advised that their wooden doors offered little to no thermal efficiency, and needed a new front door that would keep their property warm in the cold winter months.

Simple Installation

We recommended our customers choose from our stunning composite door range, as it offers superior security and thermal efficiency values for all types of property.

Abbey fitted a Pearl Grey 900mm Rocal Endurance Solidcore composite front door and should it be required we can also fit a matching Rocal Endurance 300mm fully opening composite solid core side panel.

Our Basingstoke customers chose this colour as it blends in with the brickwork, looks to be high-end quality but is not overstated. They chose Endurance because of its superior build quality & security it offers without the wind blowing through. This will no doubt improve the thermal efficiency of their property, and will keep their home warmer for longer!

Secure Composite Doors

Our composite doors are incredibly secure, and are fitted with the highest quality locking systems on the market to keep our customer’s properties as safe as they possibly can be.

Accredited by police-preferred scheme Secured by Design, you can rest assured that by choosing a new composite door from Abbey, you are choosing the very best front door on the market.

The End Result

The work took one day from start to finish, which meant that our customers weren’t left with any inconvenience in between removing the old door and installing the new one.

The customer was so impressed with their new composite door they have gone on to purchase a house full of windows!

It’s very important to us that our customers are happy with their new home improvements, which is why we offer an extensive aftercare service to ensure that any issues that occur after installation can be sorted quickly and efficiently.

Beautiful Extension with French Doors and Flush Sash Windows carried out by the expert Abbey Windows installations team.

Our Wokingham customers wished for more space out the back of their property, as they were looking for a bigger area for their children to play in but they really weren’t keen on the idea of moving house.

They opted for an extension to solve this problem, complete with large flush sash windows and Liniar French doors to the rear of the property. They also decided on some glass windows within the roof to let in more light.

Keen to get started, the Abbey Windows installations team paid our Wokingham customers a visit to take measurements and ensure the customers were happy with the double glazed windows and doors they had chosen.

Flush Sash Windows

The family chose our ever popular Flush Casement Windows for the rear of the new extension. Flush sash windows are the latest exciting development from Liniar, offering the realism of a traditional pre-1932 timber window combined with 21st century thermal benefits.

Many property owners require a traditional timber window frame, sometimes due to planning or environmental restrictions. Liniar saw the need to develop a casement window frame that would fit into any property where the sash fitted flush into the frame – and which could be foiled to look like traditional timber or to offer a sleek, contemporary finish.

Opting for the beautiful ‘Chartwell Green’ foil finish, our Wokingham family went for a classic finish with a pop of colour. Available in a range of colours, our Flush Casement Windows can be designed to suit all kinds of Wokingham homes.

French Doors

Choosing a set of uPVC French Doors for the rear of the property, our customers were looking to bring light and the illusion of space to their Wokingham property.

They chose a matching ‘Chartwell Green’ to complement the windows, and wanted to create a seamless connection between their home and the outside world.

Our uPVC French Doors are an excellent addition to an extension, as well as conservatories or living rooms.

Quick Installation Process

Once our customers had decided on their double glazed windows and doors, the Abbey Windows installation team got straight to work.

Famous for quick installations that are always of high quality, our team worked very quickly with care and consideration not to impact on our customer’s daily lives.

Happy Customers

Our customers were incredibly happy with the installations, and are very pleased they now have a bigger area to relax in that their children can use as a play room all year round.

They’re pleased to have added value to their Wokingham property in case they decide to move in the coming years, and will certainly return to Abbey Windows for any future installations or home improvements they may have.

Front Door Installation, Wokingham

Rocal Endurance Composite Door installation carried out in Reading by The Abbey Windows Team

Abbey Windows recently installed an excellent composite door for a couple in Wokingham, whose existing wooden door was outdated in both aesthetics and functionality.

While wooden doors add classic values to Wokingham properties, there is much to be desired when it comes to the more important benefits, such as home security measures and efficient insulation.

A beautiful new composite door has truly awakened their Wokingham property, and has brought it into the 21^st century with fantastic security measures and far better thermal efficiency.

Show Room

They began their composite door journey in our fantastic show room – this is an excellent way of viewing our comprehensive range of products and trying them out before you buy. This way you can guarantee the best practicalities for your Wokingham home, and ensure perfect consistency with the existing features of your property.

Viewing our showroom also allows us to fully explain each different product and express its benefits thoroughly. The couple’s neighbour had experienced an unfortunate break-in, and so were very security conscious when buying their new front door.

Upon knowing their specifications, we are able to demonstrate the most security conscious composite doors, and show how easy it is to guarantee optimum security measures. In the 21^st century, we are lucky to have a vast range of security measures to choose from, which is why here at Abbey Windows we pick only the most secure locking systems for our Wokingham customers.

High Security

As the couple were very focused on finding a secure front door for their Wokingham property, we showed them our fantastic range of Rocal Endurance Composite Doors. These front doors are unrivalled when it comes to high security measures, yet retain the exquisite aesthetics of a classic timber door.

Designed to keep your home safe, our composite doors are designed using only Yale locking systems that are Secured by Design and the most robust materials that are made to last and retain the safety of your Wokingham home. We displayed the robust nature of our composite doors in our show room, to show how difficult it would be for someone attempted forced entry. Our customers were impressed, and make a wise decision to choose one of our fantastic composite doors.

Opting for a triple point locking mechanism for complete peace of mind, the couple have said their home feels so much more secure now with one of our superb composite doors. It’s easy to create an incredibly secure front door with our excellent composite door range!

Thermal Efficiency

The couple also expressed desire for a new front door that would  keep their home warmer, as their home wasn’t retaining its heat all year round. Unfortunately, classic wooden doors aren’t designed to keep your property warm, unlike contemporary composite doors.

Our fantastic composite door selection is designed using a multi-chambered door outer frame uPVC profile, which is specifically designed for optimum thermal efficiency. The couple’s Wokingham home is sure to be cosy and warm with their new composite door!

As well as thermally efficient, our composite doors are also incredibly eco-friendly! Manufactured in the UK to keep our carbon footprint to a minimum, our excellent composite doors are 100% lead-free and are completely recyclable. The couple’s existing wooden front door had no insulation values, so they were extremely pleased to hear our composite door range would keep their home warmer for longer, even evoking a decrease in their heating bills!

Aesthetics

The couple went for a beautiful French Navy for their composite door, and kept their hallway bright with a classic white interior. We have a superb range of colours and finishes to offer, each bringing a different aesthetic to Wokingham homes.

They opted for beautiful side panels, with a frosted glass called Stippolyte, with a privacy level of four to ensure additional privacy. Available with a range of glazing options and accessories such as door knockers and letter box styles, it’s easy to find the perfect new front door for your Wokingham property!

Our uPVC Patio Doors are perfect in the summer for garden parties, and are incredibly well-insulated to keep you warm in those cold winter months. The customer in question had limited space, so chose our uPVC Patio Doors as a way to open up their property as they slide within their own frame area.

Patio Doors are a great way of using space efficiently as they will never protrude into a room or patio area – perfect if you’re looking to save space.

Bring additional light and space

Our experienced team of fitters had to knock down a wall to create space for the uPVC Patio Doors, which the customer said was carried out with care and areas were always tidied at the end of each day.

We use an excellent multi-wheeled ‘air-glide’ running system, to save space and create smooth, silent functionality for your new patio doors. uPVC Patio Doors are a superb way of bringing light into your Pangbourne home, as well as producing beautiful views of your garden area.

Security was an important factor in our customer’s uPVC Patio Door choice, which is why we recommended they try out highest security glass – Homeguard double glazing. A fantastic alternative to standard double and triple glazing, our Homeguard system uses a standard double glazed frame which incorporates 6.4mm clear laminated glass, with 18mm warm edge spacing with argon gas. Homeguard is accredited by Secured by Design, and is the same strength used on your car windscreen!

Our uPVC Patio Doors are made from superior strength uPVC, which ensures both security and durability. We’ve also included a Yale anti-bump cylinder, which allows our uPVC Patio Doors to be the most secure patio doors on the market!

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.

Aluminium Bi-Fold Doors Installation

uPVC Conservatory Replacement Carried Out In Reading By The Abbey Windows Team

A couple in Reading have recently chosen a stunning uPVC Conservatory upgrade for their Reading Home. Their old, flat-roofed leaking conservatory has been skilfully replaced by our expert conservatory installation team to a sophisticated Gable End Conservatory.

This stylish and charming style of uPVC Conservatory has completely rejuvenated their Whitley home whilst maintaining the authentic charm of their character property.

Leaking Conservatory

The couple’s flat-roofed uPVC conservatory had been in place for over twenty-five years, but a leaking roof and a frame which let in draughts meant the outdated structure could no longer be the hub of their Reading home.

With seven grandchildren, the couple were now looking for a room with functionality. A space that could be used throughout the seasons, whatever the weather.

Bespoke Conservatory Refurbishment

Our double glazing team talked through the exciting conservatory styles we have to offer including our bespoke conservatory styles. It was important to the couple that we keep to a similar footprint to the original uPVC Conservatory. Together we began to design the couple’s ideal conservatory, in keeping with the look and feel of their Reading home.

A brand new conservatory plan was drawn up with a number of amendments to enhance the look of the Reading home. The new plans would bring the uPVC Conservatory up to date, whilst retaining the lines of the house.

Gable Ended Conservatory

The couple opted for a stunning Gable End Conservatory; a modern style of uPVC Conservatory offering maximum space and height within the room. The double glazed front window panel of this cleverly designed uPVC Conservatory remains upright rather than sloping back towards the centre. This, coupled with the new high-angled double glazed roof, maximises light and creates a feeling of great height within the uPVC Conservatory. Check out the before and after photographs below.

The conservatory roof replacement will further improve the functionality of the new uPVC Conservatory in Reading. We wished to give the couple climate control with high performance glass. The old, leaking roof was replaced with an UltraFrame double glazed roof, providing the couple with a uPVC Conservatory they can use all year round. No longer will this family room be hot in summer and cold in winter, with the innovative four-season double glazing.

uPVC French Doors Fitted on New uPVC Conservatory

The Abbey Conservatory installation team lastly fitted a pair of stylish uPVC French Doors from Liniar into the new uPVC Conservatory. An elegant addition allowing easy access to the garden on hot summer days.

We built practical hardware into the uPVC Conservatory design allowing the new uPVC French Doors to be easily latched back on a windy day.

Further security features were included with a Yale Lockmaster multipoint lock incorporated into the uPVC French Doors, the ultimate shield against would-be intruders.

Reading Conservatory Replacement – The Verdict

The couple worked with Abbey in a dynamic fashion, getting involved with all details to find a solution which would suit both their Whitley home and their living style.

The verdict, a success! The couple can enjoy their new uPVC Conservatory to the full, all year round.

The couple are particularly pleased in the size and feeling of spaciousness in the new conservatory. Having previously had pinoleum blinds on the uPVC Windows, the couple have delayed their decision to put new conservatory blinds in. Simply appreciating the bright, airy feel of their new living space.

The conservatory is now used as a family room and is certainly the new heart of their Reading home.
