A Plus supplies Windows and Doors for Exclusive Developments

A Plus Aluminium has supported award-winning developer, Wedgewood Homes on two developments in Tunbridge Wells, Kent, supplying windows and doors for Verve, Spire Court, an elegant collection of nine apartments set in a central location and Moatenden, which comprises five luxury family homes and borders the Kentish Green Belt.

“We believe people are thinking about ways to save money or be more energy efficient and this is influencing our design and specification,” says Wedgewood Homes.

“We are developing the thermal envelope to help with the energy costs of the property, for example, which includes double glazing and trickle vents in the windows.  We worked with A Plus Aluminium to select windows and doors which deliver superior performance and enhance the properties.”

A Plus manufactured 10no. PlusFold high performance bi-folding doors for the properties at Moatenden, and 12no. Dualframe 75 Si casement windows, 48no. Dualframe Si windows, 2no. PlusFold bi-folding doors, DualFrame French doors, 1no. aluminium Lymington Smart entrance door and 1no. ST11 entrance door screen for the apartments at Spire Court.

Great selling point

“All the systems are user-friendly,” continues Wedgewood.  “We particularly like the PlusFold bi-folding doors.  The potential to create a big open space is a great selling point.  We have a 4780mm wide bi-fold door on the penthouse at Spire Court and it works so well with the balcony area, a space which wouldn’t have looked the same with a smaller door installed.  The level access is also an advantage, the flow between the indoor floor to outdoors is seamless.”

Feature bi-folds

At Moatenden, Wedgewood Homes was keen to make the most of opening up the living space to the garden.  “We have large openings into the gardens, and we wanted this to be a distinct feature.  Sliding or French doors in this instance wouldn’t deliver the finish or lifestyle we wish to create, with side panels or glass still in position when the door is open.  We like how bi-folds open up the living areas and the panels fold and slide neatly to the side.  They are perfect for our premium homes, maximising outdoor living.”

Colour choice

Colour plays a vital role in the Spire Court scheme.  “The external aesthetic is especially improved by the fact that the various aluminium windows and doors are completed in the same profile and colour, internally and externally.”

For the eight luxury two-bed apartments and one three-bed penthouse Wedgewood Homes chose Concrete Grey RAL 7023M.
