A house of character in Hauts-de-France
The owners of this new house in the Pas-de-Calais region of France wanted a home with an original style that would also be energy-efficient. For their joinery, they chose Ecostyle Fermeture, an Installux partner manufacturer. It was an obvious choice for them, since they had already worked together on a number of renovation projects. The project was carried out in two phases: first, the aluminum joinery, with no fewer than 14 sashes. Two years later, they installed a gate and a wicket door. The owners are already considering a third phase of work with a bioclimatic pergola or veranda.
Heat insulation at the heart of the project
The construction was designed with good thermal management in mind. The air gap between the concrete construction and the brick facing avoids thermal bridges. For their part, the openings had to meet this objective. To achieve this, the craftsman manufacturer chose Installux high-performance aluminum joinery. The Espace® 70TH concealed sash window was chosen for all the house's joinery for its slimness, better light transmission and thermal qualities. Upstairs, the windows are French-opening and tilt-and-turn. In the kitchen, a Galaxie® 32TH pocket sliding bay window creates a totally open space overlooking the terrace. For even greater insulation, these windows have been fitted with double glazing and warm-edge seals to avoid thermal bridges.

Openings with unique and original styling
For all the windows, the architect had designed small woods to give a classic effect to the windows, which matched perfectly with the red stone cladding typical of the region. The craftsman who manufactured the windows recreated these decorative woods from aluminum profiles. The brilliant white of the joinery contrasts with the stone facade, bringing light to the room. The choice of front door was also a decisive factor in this project. The owners wanted a truly unique and original style. The aluminum joiner suggested the Comète® 70TH door with decorative glazing. The glazing pattern will later be used on the gate. The decorative glass panel is thicker, to ensure burglar-proof protection. As for the door outline, it's matte anthracite gray.
The gate and wicket door are based on the Satellite® concept. For unparalleled uniformity, they echo the design of the door. The same anthracite gray as the door is accompanied by oak-toned slats to bring authenticity and modernity. The "sun" motif of the decorative glazing has also been reproduced on the laser-cut gate and wicket.
