Bespoke Aluminium Windows and Doors, AluK58BW, Finchampstead, Wokingham

Location: Finchampstead

An impressive white rendered contemporary new build property in Finchampstead features bespoke aluminium windows and sliding doors.

An architecturally designed, energy-efficient home situated along one of Finchampstead’s most recognised and sought-after tree-lined residential roads close to the market town of Wokingham.

Thames Valley Windows was recommended by the builders of this Finchampstead new build to design and install bespoke aluminium glazing systems, creating a light-filled contemporary family home.

These Finchampstead homeowners purchased an existing property on the plot of land, which they demolished to build their luxurious self-build home designed by leading Reading architects, SK Design Consultants.

The energy efficiency of the new build was a significant factor in the design, which included large double-glazed aluminium windows and doors that create an uninterrupted visual indoor/outdoor flow while enhancing the property’s aesthetic and thermal efficiency.

The brief was to create a bold, minimalist aesthetic from both inside and outside of the property. To ensure the new build benefits from natural light in every room, the design features full-height glazing in the rear rooms, along with open-plan kitchen and bedrooms that facilitate indoor and outdoor living throughout the year.

Our MD and designer, Ryan, initiated the project by meeting with the project manager and homeowners to review the window schedule and architectural plans. Ryan discussed the various aluminium glazing systems and recommended visiting our Bracknell showroom to view the aluminium products on display.

Ryan has extensive experience in creative design and glazing technologies in large contemporary new build homes, as well as liaising with the architects, developers and homeowners. With his eye for detail, he ensured he designed a bespoke architectural glazing solution which included Aluk 588W HI slimline aluminium windows and EdgeGLIDE and Vision20 sliding doors that would bathe the new build in natural light whilst creating a wow factor architectural feature.

Aluk 588W HI slimline aluminium windows are a popular alternative window system to traditional steel windows. Manufactured with quality workmanship and meticulous attention to detail to the highest UK standards.

A high-performance glazing solution with its inherent strength, minimal sightlines and low U-Values offers advanced thermal efficiency to brighten your space while maintaining energy efficiency.

Architects and homeowners choose them for their sleek and minimalist aesthetics and their ability to enhance the overall architectural design of a building.

Aluk windows are made with high-quality aluminium with a power-coated or anodised finish and are available in a wide range of single or dual RAL colours.

The aluminium profile is low-maintenance and can withstand harsh environmental conditions and extreme temperatures. It has a natural corrosion resistance and offers excellent structural integrity.

AluK 58BW HI slimline aluminium window profile system is certified under the Secured by Design scheme, and is PAS 24 tested. Their thermally broken aluminium slimline window frames improve energy efficiency, reducing heat transfer and saving you money on your energy bills.

They are an innovative, thermally efficient window system available in triple or double-glazed configurations, with a range of window designs and options including side-hung, bottom-hung, tilt & turn, fixed light, and multi-lights.

The Thames Valley Windows team worked closely with the project manager and homeowners from start to finish throughout the project to ensure that the installations run in time to the build schedule.

Our surveyor and operations manager collaborated with the on-site project manager and contractors to ensure the phased installation of our bespoke glazing products to the highest standards. Meanwhile, Anuarya Developments demonstrated the same attention to detail and high-quality craftsmanship in constructing the new build to a very high specification.

This exceptional Finchampstead new build showcases outstanding design, luxury finishes, and meticulous attention to detail throughout.

Upon arrival, impressive gates set the tone for the exclusivity of the setting and nestled at the end of the driveway, you’ll find the contemporary new build.

A standout feature at the front of the new build is the large fixed gable window with a slimline aluminium frame and an expansive glass surface. It floods the upstairs interior with natural light, creating a bright, inviting atmosphere. The glass balustrades in front of the first-floor large windows create an ultra-modern, exquisite look.

The symmetrical bay windows on the ground floor embrace a traditional aesthetic with a contemporary twist.

The bespoke aluminium windows and doors finished in RAL 7021 black grey add a bold, architectural presence to the white façade, providing a dramatic contrast to the dark, earthy tones of the roof tiles.

The rear elevation has been completed to the same standard as the front of the property, showcasing fine attention to detail and a high-quality finish that brings modernity and beauty.

The floor-to-ceiling glazed wall in the flat roof kitchen extension at the back of the property is designed with contemporary high-quality Vision20 sliding doors, providing beautiful views, and easy access to the garden, dissolving the boundaries between indoors and outdoors whilst the roof lantern bathes the living space with natural light throughout the day, adding visual continuity to the home.

One of the rear bedrooms uniquely includes a roof balcony on the flat roof elevation of the house. This allowed the Finchampstead homeowners to add aluminium French doors that open out onto the roof balcony. This thoughtful addition creates a calming haven— an outdoor living space designed for tranquillity and relaxation and grounded in nature.

The EdgeGLIDE sliding doors in bedroom two allow natural light to flow through the large floor-to-ceiling door system.

The slim sightlines of these aluminium windows and doors offer more than just a contemporary aesthetic. By maximising the glazed area, they allow nature and light to pass into the interior through large windows and doors, enhancing the interior’s refined aesthetic.

The dark hues of the black grey frames of the windows drip in sophistication, creating a dynamic, contemporary look inside and out.

Elegance is reflected in the smallest details, such as the graphite window handles. The deep richness of dark glazed windows and doors conveys a sense of understated elegance and is a must-have glazing trend in 2025

The stunning new build in Finchampstead stands as a testament to modern architecture. With large bespoke aluminium windows and doors that seamlessly bring the beauty of nature indoors, showcasing their signature quality and natural elegance.

The Finchampstead homeowner is delighted with his bespoke aluminium glazing solution and customer service, and left us a 5-star Google review:

For my recent self-build project in the Wokingham area, I had chosen Thames Valley Windows based on a recommendation. I’m extremely glad I went with them, as Ryan and his team managed the end-to-end project professionally and provided excellent customer satisfaction.

They provided initial site Assessment, Design, Installation and after-care support; everything was perfect. I had large windows, sliding doors, and double doors of excellent quality and design.

Ryan’s team kept me fully informed on the lead times and project timeline and supported me in obtaining all necessary certifications for post-build sign-off from the building control and insurance teams.

Thank you very much, Ryan, Daniel, and his team from Thames Valley Windows. I highly recommend their services.
