New Builds
New builds benefit most from early specification: a full window schedule, consistent frames across every elevation and doors coordinated with the windows.
Understanding the property
Self-builds and small developments where glazing is designed with the house.
Design priorities
- Early specification
- Involve us at drawing stage.
- Window schedule
- Every opening listed with size, type and glass.
- Building Regulations
- Thermal and ventilation requirements confirmed per specification.
- Sequencing
- Installation timed with the build programme.
Windows & doors to consider
Starting points, not recommendations for every house of this type.
Colour & material
One colour and hardware finish across the scheme usually gives the most coherent result.
Planning & conservation
Requirements vary by property and local authority. We check before specifying.
Common mistakes
- Specifying glazing late
- Mixing systems across elevations
