After
being impressed by the company’s product range at a construction trade show,
Stonebridge Homes decided that Black Millwork’s range of window and door
profiles were the perfect fit for an upcoming project they were working on.
As one of
the leading names in residential development and commercial office space, the
team at Stonebridge Homes has vast experience in producing skilfully designed,
soundly constructed homes to suit the lifestyles of a wide range of customers.
In June
2017, its team was tasked with working on another amazing project, which it has
now completed after overcoming a number of challenges.
The large
detached home is situated in an expansive ground, which contains a substantial
garden and an external pool-house. The main house is built from natural stone,
which gives the property a real sense of character, but made fitting windows
and doors challenging. One of the issues that Stonebridge Homes had to overcome
on this project was the imprecise coursing across a number of the masonry
units.
The
irregular nature of the coursing meant that the developers needed a window and
door supplier who could produce bespoke units that fitted directly into the
natural stone.
Stonebridge
Homes commented: “This property presented a relatively unique challenge. Much
of the stone masonry used across the home was uneven and as a result it was
difficult to marry the coursing on the stone with the imperial sizing of the
windows.
"When
it came to specifying window units we took great care in finding a supplier who
could go above and beyond just offering us units that looked great and
performed well. We needed a supplier with real expertise and technical know-how
about the intricacies of working with natural stone. We found that with Black
Millwork and they were on hand to help us every step of the way.”
The
Stonebridge Homes’ team first discovered Black Millwork’s comprehensive product
offering at a trade show. With the project in mind, the team was on the lookout
for various building products to specify in the home. The developers were
impressed with the company’s wide range of window and door products, which
includes high performance wood, clad and aluminium windows and doors. After
speaking with Black Millwork’s technical experts about the challenges
associated with the project the developers sensed they would be the ideal
choice.
A range of
products including Andersen A-Series sash windows, Andersen A-Series panel
patio doors and a range of composite entry doors were supplied by Black
Millwork to the project.
The
company also supplied a number of aluminium products to the property’s
pool-house including a large aluminium screen, an aluminium roof lantern and an
aluminium glazed gable above the door. Working closely with Stonebridge Homes’
team, Black Millwork was on hand each step of the way to provide technical
advice and expertise on how to properly install the products into the home.
Speaking
about the project, General Manager at Black Millwork, Gary Hutton, commented:
“We’ve been on quite a journey with the Stonebridge Homes’ team since meeting
them at a construction trade show last year, but it’s been an amazing
experience. This was a special project to be involved with and the end results
look great.
"Our
work on this project underlines how we’re much more than just a window and door
manufacturer. Working closely with the developers, we’ve been on hand to impart
technical advice, installation tips and have also supplied a number of bespoke
aluminium units in the home’s pool-house.”
