Windows, doors and a lantern roof by REAL ALUMINIUM were chosen by Bristol-based installer Panoramic Ltd to complete five three-storey townhouses on the edge of Bath with an asking price of over £1 million each.

Developer Annexe Ltd knocked down a bungalow that stood there to make way for the development of for each property, every single building component specified within the prestigious development needed to be contemporary, stylish and of the highest quality.

Panoramic managing director Steve Evans said: “It is essential to get every detail right on a project of this calibre and glass was absolutely fundamental to the success of the design. With wide openings on each level to soak up the views, the windows and doors needed to create drama and add to the sense of space and light.

“The expanse of glazing has connected each property to the outside vista, whilst the aluminium frames contrast beautifully with the cream render and grey cladding. This is a sensational development and it has generated a high level of interest in the region. With each of the five properties selling well before completion, it’s a dream project!”

The development consists of four terraced townhouses in one building and a separate three bedroomed property close by.

Real Aluminium windows in RAL 7016 were installed throughout the four properties in the main building and its bi-folding doors were fitted on the ground level of each home, sliding doors were specified for the middle level and French doors for the upper. Glazed balconies were also installed on to these two levels.

The detached property incorporated Real Aluminium windows, French doors, sliding doors and a lantern roof. 

This property stands close to a conservation area which protects the habitat of native bats and this posed an unusual challenge for Panoramic. The team had to integrate specially designed electric blinds in to all the doors to restrict the amount of artificial light emitted from the building to avoid disturbing the bats.
