Aluminium Windows and Doors Case Study:
Full Home Installation in South Lanarkshire
Client: H. Loney
Project Overview
PT Glazing was selected to manufacture, supply, and install a complete aluminium glazing package for a residential property in South Lanarkshire. The homeowner was looking to replace outdated, draughty windows and doors with a premium aluminium solution that would enhance energy efficiency, security, and overall aesthetics.
All products were manufactured in-house at our specialist manufacturing facility in Newmilns, East Ayrshire, before being professionally installed by our experienced fitting teams.
Project Scope
This full house installation included the design, manufacture, supply, and installation of a complete aluminium glazing package across the property. The brief was to deliver a modern, high-performance system that would provide long-term durability and significantly improved thermal performance.
Installed Throughout the Property
- X1 Bloomsbury designer door with side screen
- X1 Ashwell designer door
- X1 aluminium entrance door with integral blinds
- X13 aluminium windows
- X3 lift and slide patio doors with 35mm slim sightlines
Every product was finished in textured grey externally with a premium frost white internal finish, creating a contemporary exterior with a clean, bright interior aesthetic.
Manufacturing and Installation
All aluminium windows and doors for this project were manufactured at PT Glazing’s Newmilns production facility, ensuring complete quality control from fabrication through to installation.
Our in-house manufacturing allowed us to:
- Produce fully bespoke units to exact measurements
- Maintain strict quality assurance standards
- Deliver consistent finishes across all products
- Ensure efficient lead times and seamless installation
Our installation team completed the full removal of existing glazing and installed all new aluminium systems with minimal disruption to the homeowner.
Aluminium Windows
The property was fitted with thirteen aluminium windows using our premium 600 series system. These featured a sloped bead and ovolo frame design, combining traditional styling with modern aluminium performance.
Benefits included:
- Excellent thermal efficiency with low U-values
- Slim, elegant sightlines
- High durability and low maintenance
- Improved airtightness to eliminate draughts
Designer Doors
The installation included both Bloomsbury and Ashwell models from our Designer Door range, chosen for their contemporary appearance and advanced security features.
Each designer door:
- Meets PAS24 security standards
- Features block construction with a hidden fixing system
- Includes the option of multi-point slam locking or a 10-point locking system
- Provides outstanding durability and security
These doors deliver a premium entrance solution while maintaining a sleek and modern finish.
Entrance Door with Integral Blinds
The main aluminium entrance door was manufactured using our Alitherm 400 flush system and incorporated integral blinds within the glazing unit. This provided privacy and light control while maintaining a clean, uncluttered appearance.
Lift and Slide Patio Doors
Three lift and slide patio doors were installed to the rear of the property, featuring ultra-slim 35mm sightlines designed to maximise glass area and natural light.
These large sliding systems offer:
- Smooth, effortless operation
- Exceptional thermal performance with low U-values
- Large glazed panels for uninterrupted views
- High-security locking systems
- Weather resistance and long-term durability
The slimline design creates a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces while maintaining excellent energy efficiency.
Energy Efficiency and Performance
A key objective for the homeowner was to replace the existing low-performing glazing with high-performance aluminium systems.
All installed products were specified with energy-efficient glazing to achieve excellent U-values, significantly improving insulation and reducing heat loss. The result is a warmer, more comfortable home with improved long-term energy efficiency.
Security and Safety
Security was central to every design decision throughout the project. All doors installed meet British standards, ensuring enhanced resistance against forced entry. High-security locking systems, durable aluminium frames, and precision installation provide complete peace of mind for the homeowner.
Finished Result
The completed installation has transformed the property, delivering a modern, high-end finish while dramatically improving thermal performance, security, and overall comfort.
By combining premium aluminium systems with expert in-house manufacturing and installation, PT Glazing delivered a fully bespoke solution tailored to the client’s requirements.
Client Feedback
The customer was delighted with the finished result and left a 5-star review, praising both the quality of the products and the professionalism of the installation team. The project successfully delivered a complete premium aluminium upgrade, providing a stylish, secure, and energy-efficient home built to last.
