Brief

The client brief was for a contemporary, high quality alternative to the usual UPVC windows which are commonplace in new-build projects of this type across the country.  Their ethos is “different by design” and therefore something removed from normal expectations was required.  They were also looking for a cost-effective solution, and something which would stand the test of time to provide their homebuyers with peace of mind.

Buying Drivers

Traditional with a modern edge, large glass areas with minimal sightlines (suitable for check reveal installation), robust and high quality sliding doors, simple and straightforward to install onsite, price point less than £250/m2, longevity of finishes, intuitive operation.  Traditional looking aluminium grooved panel entrance doors.

Accommodating & Collaborative

“We recently worked with Internorm UK at the early design stage of a 91-home residential development in London. The project required high-performance timber-aluminium composite windows and doors that would minimise heating demand, optimally balance solar gain in winter and light transmission throughout the year, and achieve the required high acoustic performance.  Internorm were able to accommodate all the requirements of this complex project while maintaining the crisp and uniform aesthetics we were looking for. The collaboration has been instrumental in finding the balance between design, performance and cost.”
