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.

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

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.
