Stand in front of it before you buy it

Brochures flatten everything. A flush casement and a standard casement look identical on a page and completely different in a wall, and no photograph tells you how a 3mm interlock feels when you slide a two-metre panel with one hand. So the showroom is built around full-size units you can open, close and lean on.

There is a working Origin bi-fold, a set of sliding doors, composite and Rockdoor front doors in the current colour range, flush and standard casements side by side, a vertical slider with a working sash horn, and cut sections of every frame so you can see the chambers and the reinforcement.

Glass is the part most people have never been shown. We keep sample units for standard double glazing, triple glazing, acoustic laminate and self-cleaning coatings, plus obscure patterns held up to the light rather than printed on a card.

A slow-motion walk-through video of the showroom is coming soon, so you can get a sense of the space before you arrive.
