‘Seamless flow’ from inside to out
September 2016

Alumen, the Kettering based aluminium fabricator has received a commendation from Schueco for its work at The Longfords, Teddington, London in association with customer QDevelopments.

Alan Robinson, MD of Alumen explained: “The Longfords - a mews development of 7 houses and a duplex apartment on a brownfield site in a suburb of Greater London - was designed by 5plus Architects to provide living spaces that have a seamless ’flow’ between the inside and outside. Set amongst Victorian properties, this new build project with QDevelopments, demanded a blend of both modern and traditional architectural styles to contrast against its surroundings.

“To the rear of the properties, Alumen fabricated and installed the ASS70HI Lift& Slide patio and ASS70FD bi-folding doorsets finished in metallic pearl/beige. Using the same finish, AWS75 tilt&turn windows were used throughout but every single window had a different configuration of how it fitted in the cavity; some were forward, others pushed back - there wasn’t a standard way. Furthermore, the bi-folding profile ASS70FD was used to fabricate the single doors which measured up to 2.7m in height.”
