The latest projects from APS Group
Residence Windows & Doors, Strangford Lough
This sunroom on the shores of Strangford Lough, Co Down has windows and doors manufactured using Residence 9 pvc window and door profile supplied by APS in the ‘silvered oak’ finish and triple glazed giving 0.8 u value. The client had a large input onto the design wanting to ensure glass sight lines were uniform and that having no transoms ensured their stunning view. The windows also benefit from new technology having the glass bonded into the frames similar to car windscreen glass, which enhances strength, security and weather performance. I am sure you will agree that the silvered oak finish gives the sunroom a very natural look in such an idyllic location and a stunning, spacious and comfortable room has been created overlooking Strangford Lough.
Cuchulainn House, Belfast
APS tilt and turn window system was chosen for this contract, the ideal choice given its thermal properties and practicality within budget constraints. APS-designed aluminium powder coated pods surround each pvc window reveal on the site allowing the external cladding to be fitted and improving the appearance of old concrete reveals. Through consultation with the building contractor these were designed and vigorously tested to meet weathering requirements at this high location
Oaklee Homes, Bangor
APS ‘flat grey’ pvc windows fabricated from profile supplied by APS have been fitted to the Oaklee Housing building in Bangor, Co Down. These replicate aluminium windows on the outside with a smooth pvc grey externally and white inside. APS aluminium grey curtain walling is installed at the reception and communal hallway sections. APS grey fabricated flashings complete the design at the corner featured windows.
Light Oak
Light oak effect fascia, bracing bar and roof spire look good on this new build at Portadown while reducing headache of maintenance and associated costs.
Swish Bracing Bar and Roof Spire
Using the Swish bracing bar and roof spire the builder has added the finishing touches to these houses at Lurgan Co Armagh. These products will add traditional character to any building.
The Swish Technical Support team have developed a number of detailing features that allow designers to achieve an attractive and individual look without sacrificing the benefits of a standardised system.
Concave Fascia and Roof Spires
Swish decorative concave fascia fitted on this cottage enhances the roofline against the stone work. This is a look that will last and will require low maintenance in comparison to wooden fascia.
Carryduff
White ogee fascia and tongue and groove effect soffit board together with black half round gutter, downpipe and ‘classic’ effect pipe clips complete the clear-cut look on the houses at this development in Carryduff near Belfast. The dry verge used along the edge of the roof tiles eliminates the need for mortar pointing and associated problems such as cracking allowing water to leak into house.
Black Fascias and Soffits
This designer of this one-off new-build has achieved a classic period look by installing APS supplied black fascias and soffits and black decorative fascia clip-on mouldings, gutter and downpipe. These make the perfect backdrop to contrast with the white period style windows.
Poyntzpass
The fitting of ‘classic’ downpipe clips turns the downpipe into a feature against the stonework on this sunroom.
