We all understand the importance of creating beautiful and customisable finishes for our clients. Whether you’re working on a house renovation for a client, building a new home from scratch or fitting out a commercial building, the property owner will want every element of their new or renovated property to be exactly how they envisaged and designed it to be.
When it comes to windows, doors, and rooflights, customisation options can make all the difference. In this blog, we’ll explore the various ways you can customise these important features for a seamless finish that meet and exceed your clients’ requirements.
Colour customisation
You will almost certainly be familiar with RAL and British Standards (BS) colour matching systems.
For those not in the know, RAL is a colour-matching system used to identify standard colours for paints, coatings, and plastics, whilst British Standard (BS) colours are a collection of colours that have been derived from sets of regulations and standards laid down for the use of industrial colour specifications within the UK.
For a more comprehensive guide to RAL and BS colours, read our blog here.
Options for customising windows, door frames and bi-fold doors:
With so many window options available, it’s so important to choose the right fit for your projects. From casement and bay windows to fix and tilt-and-turn windows, Edge is your one-stop shop for uPVC and aluminium windows and doors, and we also have a range of energy efficient options to choose from.
Your clients might already know what they want, or they may need some guidance from you to help them select the finish that best meets their needs. Aluminium-clad windows, for example, offer both strength and durability, while timber windows offer a more natural aesthetic. Double or triple glazed windows with argon or krypton gas-filled cavities are good at preventing heat loss whilst reducing outside noise and increasing privacy.
For that all-important colour, RAL and BS colours are used to ensure consistency throughout a build project, enabling architects and designers to create designs with confidence. By referencing these standardised colour charts, professionals can be sure that they have accounted for all necessary shades or textures before beginning a job. Our Anthracite Grey glazing is a perennial favourite among homeowners. We also provide a range of piping, cladding, panels and finishing in the same Anthracite Grey to help you maintain that consistency, ordered directly from us. We can also provide custom-made aluminium window frames in any RAL colour.
Finishing touches add a special, unique touch to a project, and when it comes to customisation, this is an important element to consider. For example, you or your clients might choose to add decorative glazing to your windows or doors, or you might add a handle or lock that complements the overall aesthetic of the project. These small details can make a big difference to the finished product.
In terms of uPVC windows, at Edge, we’ve got you covered. Our range is the widest on the market, we pride ourselves on offering the most technologically advanced uPVC windows, whilst incorporating the latest innovations for noise reduction.
Are your clients looking to add a touch of elegance to their living space or have they been inspired by the trends that are taking the housing market by storm? Check out our selection of bi-folding and sliding doors, available from industry leading, trusted brands like Origin and Korniche. This style of door has become incredibly popular among homeowners over recent years as they seamlessly connect kitchens and living rooms to outdoor patios and lawns. We have a wide range to choose from including the Korniche System, Origin OB49 and OB72. All of our doors are bespoke and engineered to meet the highest standards of quality, performance, and security with multi-point locking systems.
We also offer a range of PVC and Aluminium Sliding doors. Our modular locking systems make our PVC sliding doors one of the most secure on the market, while the multi-wheeled ‘air-glide’ system ensures smooth and silent operation. Our range of Aluminium sliding doors create an effective thermal transmittance barrier between the cold air outside and the warm air inside (or vice versa), through advanced profile technology.
We offer your clients the option to enhance the overall security of the door with glazing, multi-point locking, and door restrictor hinges. Where possible the RAL and BS colour systems can be made to match.
