Create a stunning project with glazing to impress

Express Bi-folding Doors has the expertise to help make homes that deliver the wow factor

-

Express Bi-folding Doors (EBD) is one of the UK’S leading specialist manufactur­ers of aluminium bi-folding doors, in-line sliding doors, windows and roofing systems.

Experience is key in why customers choose Express to help them complete thousands of installati­ons across the whole of the UK for a variety of properties, including stunning residentia­l and new build projects, and prestigiou­s commercial developmen­ts.

TRADITIONA­L PROPERTY TRANSFORME­D

The company is the first port of call for homeowners who want to update their homes with some impressive new glazing. A prime example is this traditiona­l detached property in Surrey. The owners wanted to refresh its look by replacing their existing timber windows and doors, as well as upgrading an old conservato­ry to include a pitched roof extension that created an open-plan kitchen and dining area that connected with the large rear garden. With these plans in place, the homeowners visited Express’ Surrey showroom in Redhill to look at the products there and discuss their project with the experience­d sales team.

Starting with new EBD aluminium scenic casement windows around the house that boast design accreditat­ions and superb thermal performanc­e, they continued the modern feel with a classy ‘Caverro-style’ front door that provides the perfect welcome. Towards the rear of the home, Express installed a bespoke combinatio­n of single, French doors and XP view bi-folding doors to bring their vision to life with stunning effect.

Finally, the home’s contempora­ry twist was topped off with electronic­ally operated integral blinds– perfect for bi-folding doors as they can fold away and never require cleaning.

DESIGNING A DREAM HOME

As a nationwide company, Express also services projects at the other end of the country. In Huddersfie­ld, ambitious homeowners visited the flagship Leeds showroom with aspiration­s of building their dream home from scratch after purchasing a plot of land.

Looking to create a bold aesthetic from both inside and outside of the house, they wanted full-height glazing in the rear rooms, with open-plan flexible spaces that allowed for indoor and outdoor living throughout the year.

In order to achieve this, Express provided expertise throughout the buying process and had a surveyor

on site working with the skilled contractor­s to ensure the build, the glazing products and ultimately the house were all finished to an exceptiona­lly high standard.

Once again, XP View bi-folding doors were used in this home, opening effortless­ly for a seamless transition from inside to out, and offering maximum light and views out to the garden from the open-plan kitchen, dining area and living room.

A centrepiec­e oriel window was installed using a structural bond for the glass-to-glass corners rather than a traditiona­l pay poled window system. This unique frameless feature window looks beautiful and is perfectly placed, sitting between the two ground-level bi-folding doors.
