Metal Windows: A residential renovation

This residence in Higgovale was given a new lease on life with a stunning home makeover. The designer’s concept was a European style slim steel frame to maximise views available from the site and to lend a light industrial feeling to the house. The integrity of materials was important to the designer and generally the finishes in the house suggest this as a unifying concept throughout.

Metal Windows custom designed hinged and sliding versions of similarly configured doors and sidelight panels. The superior quality Forman Brand products were used throughout the house. In the steel sliding door panels, a hybrid system of draught exclusion was specially developed for this house. The new draught excluding system was developed by Larry Forman and his technical team borrowing lessons learned from the Aluminium Window and Door fabrication they have done for so many years. The result is fantastic. All the benefits of a well sealed sliding door and the slimline steel framing in one product! The stacking of massive small pane fixed windows above large format steel doors really delivers a great sense of open space, light and volume in the atrium which forms the central core and grand entrance to this family home. Again Metal Windows have delivered a great job, turning the vision of designer and client into a much better than expected result.
