Interior decorating is one of the ways we express our personalities. We lovingly pick out wallpapers, paint colours and furniture to reflect who we are and the life we want to live.
But what about the exterior of the house?
You may think there aren’t many options when it comes to the basics, such as uPVC windows and doors, but you would be wrong.
Gone are the days of a few standard options creating rows of identikit houses.
These days, you can work with a company such as ours to design unique and beautiful custom windows, doors, and conservatories that perfectly suit your tastes and requirements.
In this blog, we’ll explain more about customisation options and how the service works, hopefully providing some inspiration for your next home improvement project.
Unique styles and sizes
One size doesn’t fit all, quite literally! Sometimes, homes have spaces that do not fit standard units. That’s where we come in. Our slimline aluminium doors can fit any space, while our bi-fold doors are available in several sizes and configurations.
The styles of the doors and windows also run the gamut, from Art Deco to Scandi-style. We will help you create the units you desire.
Glazing options
All of our windows and doors are available with triple glazing, and we also offer specialised glazing to solve problems you may be experiencing. If noise pollution is an issue, acoustic glass could be the answer to your prayers. Internal blinds or obscure glass can offer more privacy, and self-cleaning glass is self-explanatory.
If you crave an authentic leaded glass window but require a more energy-efficient model, check out our traditional leaded glass windows.
Colours and finishes
One of the easiest ways to set your property apart is by using a unique shade for your window and/or door frames.
Many of our units can be sprayed with any RAL colour, while others are available in several wood grain effects and finishes, including unusual tones such as Peacock Blue and Tangerine.
Hardware
We offer a wide range of window and door ‘furniture’, from window sashes and handles to door knockers and hinges.
Ranging in colour from chrome and black to white and gold, these handles, hinges, and knockers can be elegant and slender, bold and chunky or something in between.
Maximising natural light
When decorating, interior designers always stress the importance of natural light and promote products which allow lots of light to flow. The same is true of your windows and doors. Customised features such as ultra-slim sightlines enable natural light flow and uninterrupted views.
Adding customised windows and doors is a fantastic way to maximise the natural light in your home.
Whether it is the ultra-slim sightlines on our doors or our energy-efficient Planitherm glass, our products can help you to maximise your home’s natural light, creating a light and bright atmosphere.
Adding value to your home’s design
Bespoke features, if executed properly can be a literal selling point when your home is competing with similar builds in a busy market.
Unique and attractive designs have excellent kerb appeal and could even be a deciding factor in someone purchasing your property.
For example, traditional sliding sash windows are a highly prized feature, but it is even better if they possess all the modern conveniences of today’s units.
Of course, the reverse can be true, so avoid anything too outlandish if you are likely to want to sell in the next few years.
Enhance your home’s security
Customisation isn’t just about achieving a particular aesthetic. One of the many other benefits is enhancing aspects of the unit, such as security.
Our units have built-in security features such as safety glass and interlock systems.
You can also choose from a range of alarms and multi-lock systems. Solidor doors feature the Avantis multi-lock system, while Ultion barrels can be fitted to any of our windows and doors.
Budget-friendly ideas
While it is true that customisation usually costs a little more, being on a budget does not mean you have to compromise your individuality.
We offer different ranges at different price points for many of our products. Those with a bit more cash to splash may prefer our heritage ranges. Our classic range is more simple, yet incredibly versatile, and can be used to create a range of looks due to its minimalist style.
Quality Products Made Locally
At Manchester Window Factory, we pride ourselves on only using the best suppliers, and ‘go local’ whenever we can.
From sustainably-sourced timber to recycled aluminium, we try to follow a responsible business model. Products are made locally, further reducing our carbon footprint, and our in-house fitting team performs our installations.
We began as a small family business and strive to always offer the same personalised service we built our reputation on.
With a 4.9 Rating on TrustATrader and a 9.6 score on CERTASS reviews at the time of writing, it would seem our many happy customers appreciate our ethos.
