Our clients spent considerable time with the design team to establish the door and window configurations that would deliver the aesthetic they wanted and the practicality they needed. The result: a complete glazing package with thoughtfully chosen unique features for the home they love.
The new build house features a huge glass wall above the entrance, both bifold doors and sliding systems, bespoke aluminium windows in all sizes, as well as french doors. It’s a great example of how close collaboration and communication between the client and design team can lead to successful project completeion.
They were really happy to give us some time once they had moved in to reflect on the whole process and the experience of working with ODC. Here’s what they said:
We visited the London showroom and loved the level of quality, the feel, and the ease with which the doors opened and closed. The overall look and feel were luxury and high end. We spent a whole day there and felt that ODC were getting on board with our vision. We chose them because we knew they met the criteria for our project.
Our house was planned with so many openings and with windows and doors of so many different dimensions, we needed a company that could deliver a cohesive aesthetic and continuity of design – it was as important to us as security and noise reduction.
We’re so pleased with the non-standard frame colour we chose. We didn’t want that more commercial Anthracite look, and the RAL 7021 – a matt black grey – is just perfect.
We chose bifold systems where we wanted to maximise the inside/outside feel, and even when folded out and back, the bifolds are not as bulky as we thought they would be. They sit on tracks flush with the floor and we like that smooth transition between spaces – they are just perfect.
We think our sliding system with particularly narrow panels to the living area is a fantastic feature. The dimensions give us flexibility and versatility – they are almost as versatile as the bifolds.
Fitting was very quick and efficient and took place exactly when agreed. The fitters were in and out, and that was important to our schedule as we had lots of other trades on site. They took ownership and responsibility for their job and took great care to get everything right.
One product didn’t have the correct dimensions and couldn’t be fitted. It was a bespoke item with a significant lead time, but ODC turned it around in a fraction of the original lead time and returned to complete the fitting within four weeks. We were really appreciative of their commitment to our schedule and the knock-on effect it could have had on our project. They took ownership of the problem, which is what matters.
We love the cohesive design of the doors and windows. The doors all run beautifully. We have a busy home with lots of children about. We can see the doors are locked and secure at a glance from the handle position. The locking mechanisms are really easy to operate. We live on a main road and activity around the pool can get loud too, but the double glazing does a great job of cutting out noise.
