Beech Grove – Harrogate

What we delivered

This stone-built town house townhouse now benefits from a ground floor wrap around extension. The flat roof houses two large skylights with the front elevation dominated by a twin track XP Glide S sliding door complete with electronically operated integral blinds.

The rear of the elevation is dominated by a huge sliding door. The homeowners wanted to be able to screen off the glazing for privacy so chose our lift and slide door the XP Glide S because of its ability to house electronically operated integral blinds. The twin track sliding door boasts just a 40mm sightline, while the lift and slide mechanism ensures that the sliding door panel can be effortlessly and smoothly slide to one side. The lift and slide mechanism also means that the door can be locked in any position including slightly open to allow ventilation into the kitchen space. Lift and slide doors like our XP Glide S & XP Infinite are perfect for larger openings and projects in heavily weathered locations but the twin track systems do allow for a slender transom. The reinforced slim-line transom allows all the benefits of a heavy duty lift and slide door but with slim sightlines allowing for panoramic views out to the garden and masses of natural light into the home.

Two huge XP Sky View rooflights sit above the kitchen island and dining area. A popular choice in terraced townhouses the dining skylight runs back towards the existing house adjacent with the neighbour’s property acting as a roof window that ensures the swathes of natural light is not limited to the space benefiting from floor to ceiling doors. The second rooflight sits almost directly above our sliding doors, which is a key to design to the beautiful new kitchen area and a combination that we see regularly as people create their picture-perfect open plan kitchen space.
