• Going For Broke On Pembrokeshire Project

Stellar Aluminium windows and doors have been used to great effect by GD Windows in a contemporary architect-designed new-build property in Pembrokeshire. 

Set in a rural location close to Poppit Sands beach, the plot offers far-reaching views of the tidal estuary.

The new build property needed to be built to exacting design standards that would make the most of the extraordinary location. GD Windows was appointed as the window and door contractor for the build and the Stellar Aluminium system was specified throughout.

Gwyn Davies, a director at GD Windows, says: “We were very pleased to secure this project, which gave us an exciting opportunity to demonstrate the full potential of Stellar Aluminium in a high-end build.” 

 Inverted bay window

One highlight of the detached property is an inverted bay window, which featured a door in its centre creating a striking architectural element. In the kitchen, a 1.8mx1.2m Stellar lift & slide door was repurposed as a window to blend functionality with style.  Davies says: “The inverted bay adds significant visual interest, while the innovative kitchen window design maximises the view.”  Elsewhere, the project involved six fully flush residential doors, three flush tilt & turn windows, five fully flush windows and a distinctive triangle-shaped fixed pane window.   

Thermal efficiency

All products were triple glazed to maximise the property’s thermal efficiency, ensuring comfort and sustainability in the home.

The specification was completed with a striking colourway of Agate grey on the internal frames to deliver understated elegance and RAL 6033 mint turquoise on the exterior to echo the vibrant hues of the estuary.  Nev Gleed, the technical development manager (aluminium) at Epwin Window Systems, says: “Stellar’s flexibility and premium finish made it the perfect choice for this remarkable new build project. Its marine-grade paint finish is ideally suited for an exposed location like this, delivering both long-lasting durability and exceptionally good looks.”  GD Windows
