June Installation of the Month | Newgate Trade
This month we’re awarding Installation of the Month to Peter and Susan Charon from Newgate Trade, for their fantastic installation into their newly renovated seaside property.
Set in the picturesque civil parish of Felpham in West Sussex, this five-bedroom seafront home is the epitome of luxury and style. It includes a spa with spa pool, steam room and sauna, gym area, master bedroom with walk in wardrobe, open-plan kitchen diner, large first floor balcony (with sea views) and outdoor hot tub.
The couple bought the property in August 2020, inspired by years of experience in the construction sector, with the goal of turning it into their dream home.
The couple started work on the 1930s house in October 2020, and construction began two months later in December 2020. Despite the pandemic, the couple persevered with the development and made fantastic progress under somewhat challenging conditions. So much so, that they were able to move into the property only 11 months later, in Sept 2021.
The property’s exterior is in keeping with its location, with grey shiplap covering the top half and white render on the bottom, giving it a coastal, nautical feel. They installed Edge anthracite roofline products to contrast with the lighter grey shiplap. The roofline products included fascias and soffits, hollow soffits and guttering.
In addition to this, they have installed slate grey composite decking to their first-floor balcony floor and external stairs, which overlooks the sea. The wood-polymer composite (WPC) product is perfect for a seafront location like this, due to its hardwearing, low maintenance properties. Peter and Susan have opted for our classic range of decking, with grooves, for a more contemporary look.
Finally, they installed a glass roof light into their first-floor kitchen-diner to bring even more light into this open-plan room. Our Edgesky flat glass rooflight is a stylish and functional glazing solution which floods indoor areas with light to give them a spacious and airy feel. The glazed area runs from edge to edge without any exposed mastic joints. Our rooflights have a thermal efficiency of 1.3 u value and the laminated inner pane offers protection from glass if it shatters.
Peter and Susan have developed a fantastic seafront home, and we are delighted they have chosen to install so many of our products into this beautiful property. Congratulations again to both of you.
