This was a big one; Panoramic were asked to help the Awan family replace seventy windows in their home. The results were stunning.
The Project
The Awan family bought their period home always knowing that an investment would be needed. There were old white aluminium windows that had long since past their best-before-date and several windows with period stained glass that needed to be restored.
The Chosen Product
There were 70 windows in total. Most of the windows were tall and narrow, forming part of large bays with stone mullions. Therefore, it was necessary to find the most slender solution possible. The Awan family considered many options but settled on Aluco’s 31 system.
With Aluco 31 as the frame of choice, it was now necessary to establish that the stained glass could be restored to an acceptable standard. A comparable sample was salvaged from another project and sent for restoration. This restored sample was presented to the Awan family and accepted. These we integrated into double glazed units so the Awan family could continue to enjoy their period glass but benefit from the thermal efficiency of double glazed units.
Finally, the frame colour needed to be settled upon. There was significant debate among the family between white and black. In the end, Panoramic photographed their home, inside and out, and photoshopped new windows into the openings for comparison. Black won the day.
The Results
Once installed, the Awan home had a completely new feel. The thermal efficiency of the new windows was immediately apparent, and the bay windows looked much larger and impressive from the outside. Also, the black frame added an attractive key line to the view into their garden and beyond from within their home. Speaking to Mrs Awan after the installation she said: “you were absolutely right, black was the perfect choice, we are delighted with them.”

Slimline Aluminium Windows In Stone Mullions
Mr & Mrs Lilley had moved to an old church house just outside the Somerset town of Shepton Mallett. The property featured stone mullions in the windows and was suffering from water ingress both through the stone and through the existing aluminium window frames.
They wanted to keep or increase the amount of light in the property by using slimline profiles to maximise the glass area. Having visited the Panoramic showroom, Mr & Mrs Lilley considered Crittall steel Homelight windows and, on our recommendation, Slimline aluminium alternatives.
