The Initial Situation and Vision
A busy couple with a young family in Thame initially considered repairing their existing PVCu Edwardian-style conservatory and potentially replacing its roof. After seeing the busy Silent View Windows vans out & about, they did their research, read reviews, they invited Silent View Windows, known for their quality installations, along with two other local companies, to discuss their options.
During the initial consultation, Silent View Windows proposed a vision beyond a simple repair. They suggested replacing the tired conservatory with a stunning, modern orangery! This new family room will offer year-round enjoyment for entertaining or just relaxing, beautifully connecting their modern home with the garden.
Inspired by the potential for a more stylish and functional living area, they embraced the idea of a complete renovation. Their desire for natural light and a smooth transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces made Made For Trade’s Korniche products a natural fit for this project.
The Solution: Integrating Premium Products
Silent View Windows collaborated closely with the Mahon’s and their trusted suppliers to select the ideal products for this Orangery Transformation. Key to the design were:
- Korniche Bifold Doors: These were specified to create a wide, unobstructed opening to the garden, enhancing the connection between the interior living space and the outdoors. The slim profiles in anthracite grey were crucial in achieving the desired modern aesthetic.
- Korniche Roof Lantern: A prominent feature, the roof lantern was chosen to flood the space with natural light. Its thermally efficient design also ensures comfortable year-round use of the room.
- Complementary Products: To complete the orangery, a window (white wood grain finish) was installed on one side, offering excellent thermal performance and complementing the modern design. A bespoke flat roof kit from PCL Building Products Ltd provided a solid and weather-tight foundation for the roof lantern.
The Stunning Outcome and Client Satisfaction
The transformation is nothing short of breath-taking! The Mahon’s are absolutely delighted. The bifold doors have created a seamless transition into their garden, perfect for family gatherings and enjoying the outdoors. The roof lantern has filled the space with an incredible amount of natural light, making it a bright and inviting area throughout the day.
When asked about their experience working with Silent View Windows, the Mahon’s highlighted the team’s friendliness, the clear and consistent communication maintained throughout the project, and the exceptional attention to detail in the installation of the products. The result is a stunning and functional family space that perfectly meets their needs and exceeds their expectations.
