Black
Millwork has supplied a range of Andersen windows to a stunning coastal
property at Wallah Dune, which overlooks the popular Constantine Bay beach in
Cornwall.
Homes
close to any body of water present an interesting quandary for homeowners.
Coastal properties are often highly in-demand, with amazing views.
However,
they do have difficulties, which arise from being so close to the coast such as
more extreme winds as well as the salted sea air.
This was
the case with the Wallah Dune project, as the property overlooks Constantine
Bay beach in Cornwall, one of the most popular tourist locations in the
area.
As such it
was essential the homeowner found products that combined top-notch performance
with strong aesthetic values. Nowhere is this consideration more important than
on windows as they’re particularly susceptible to damage from salted air.
The
corrosive air has the potential to damage paint, which results in additional
on-going expense for homeowners. What’s more, in areas with strong winds it’s
essential that the windows can withstand the pressure.
For Chris
Hiatt, the homeowner, this meant looking to Black Millwork for a solution, who
in turn supplied a collection of Andersen windows. Andersen’s A Series
Casements and Woodwright Sliding Sash are great examples of products that are
up to the challenge. They’ve been designed with durability in mind and are able
to withstand corrosive coastal conditions.
What’s
more, Andersen windows and doors are available in a range of exterior colours,
interior finish options and several impact resistant insulated glass options.
This means that homeowner can still achieve any aesthetic ambitions they may
have. At Wallah Dune, the homeowner chose to go with a natural oak finish on
the interior of the window and a white fibrex finish on the exterior.
Choosing
alternative interior and exterior finishes on a window is an increasingly
fashionable choice within the market and proving popular with homeowners. With
its extensive product portfolio, Black Millwork is in the perfect position to
satisfy this trend.
Speaking
on the project, Chris Hiatt, the homeowner commented: “When we began working on
this project it was essential we found products that were suitable for the
harsh conditions.
"After
speaking to Black Millwork it became abundantly obvious that Andersen range
represented that. The windows have a resilient coating that deal exceptionally
well with extreme rain and wind.
"It
was also a big help to be able to meet with some of the company’s
representatives on-site, having them talk through any technical difficulties or
design queries we may have.”
As a
company, Andersen employs a team of engineers to scrutinise each product. Every
aspect of our windows has been carefully orchestrated to achieve superior
performance, low-maintenance exteriors and long-lasting durability.
The
company has also created the product with the environment in mind, making them
their most energy efficient coastal products ever offered.
