Sevendials, Cheshire
July 2018

Sevendials, a contemporary private residence in the village of Mottram St Andrew, Cheshire, uses an array of window and door products from Reynaers and Cheshire-based installer Altitude Aluminium.

The contemporary living space is set across more than 600m2 including a full leisure suite with guest accommodation, with views across Cheshire towards Snowdonia and North Wales.

TheCAVE architecture + design studio was invited to stay in the bungalow that was previously on the site for three months before the project commenced to gain a knowledge of the path of sunlight, views and landscape before plans were finalised.

The Sevendials dwelling uses Reynaers’ Hi-Finity sliding door system, where each panel of glazing spans the full height of the building across two floors. The system allows for up to 750kg of weight per sliding door leaf. Fixed panes can weigh up to 1200kg.

The CS 77 Tilt and Turn systems were installed alongside the Hi-Finity. Depending on the position of the handle, the CS 77 Tilt and Turn windows open either from the bottom hinge allowing an opening for ventilation or from the side hinge, opening in full.

Whilst the façade at the front of the building uses minimal glass to enhance privacy and security, the ‘L’ shape of the rear maximises the views to the west, while the orientation of the project ensures natural light throughout the full 12 months of the year.

Rebecca Cope, Marketing Manager at Reynaers, said: ‘‘Sevendials is a stunning example of our beautiful windows and doors, we are extremely proud to add this to our portfolio of world class residential properties.’’

Wayne Little, Operations Director at Altitude Aluminium, added: “We know how important it is to have excellent products designed to stand up to the worst of the British weather. We often install Reynaers’ products because they not only look fantastic, but tick all the boxes for the latest trends of huge areas of glass, without compromising on comfort, security and warmth.”
