American style from Black Millwork

Anderson windows and doors from Black Millwork have been used in the refurbishment of a multi-million pound private home in Suffolk.

The revamp saw significant interior remodelling and extension work completed in order to create a contemporary American look.

The 6,000 square foot property was originally built in 1999 but has, in the past year, undergone a £500k refurbishment to give it a truly modern feel, both inside and out. The new look incorporates a hand-built, locally sourced kitchen, double garage come workshop extension and 38 Anderson windows and doors from Black Millwork.

Clive Underdown, the owner of the property, explained: “I really like the style of modern American homes and so sought to recreate that style in my own house. As the only UK supplier of the American Anderson windows and doors range, Black Millwork was the obvious choice to help me accomplish my vision and I am very satisfied with the end result.

“Even though the style of the windows and doors was very important to me, they had to perform as well, and so the Anderson range was perfect, delivering not only the look I was after but the thermal efficiency too.”

Installed into the home were Anderson French doors and Woodwright casement and arched windows, including a particularly attractive and large window in the gable end of the new double garage. All of the units fitted have exceptional U-value ratings meaning the property now enjoys superb thermal efficiency and energy savings. What’s more, because of the high quality Fibrex composite timber material used in the manufacture of Anderson’s products, homeowners can rest assured on the long and comprehensive warranties on offer.

Mark Wright, Managing Director of Mark Wright Construction Ltd, oversaw the project and commented: “The team at Black Millwork were great to work with and made the installation process as smooth as could be asked, they even helped us out with supplying a replacement locking mechanism that was damaged on site. I would definitely work with them again in the future.”

Clive concluded: “It’s amazing how the right fenestration and doors can totally transform your property without spending the fortune it would cost to knock down and rebuild. The quality of the products is clear to see and I’m looking forward to the rewarding energy savings in the years to come.”
