Ultra Slim Black Steel Look Windows and Doors, Hurst, Reading, Berkshire

These striking ultra-slim black steel-look windows and doors have added an industrial vibe to this stunning wrap-around extension at a detached property in Hurst, Reading.

The detached house is situated in a privileged, semi-rural location, surrounded by stunning countryside views.

When the Hurst homeowners contacted Thames Valley Windows, they were embarking on a renovation project that included a single-storey wrap-around extension and sought a quote for an architectural glazing solution throughout the property.

Our designer, Luke, contacted the Hurst homeowners to understand their vision, glazing requirements, and expectations. Luke recommended that they visit our Bracknell showroom, where they could discuss their brief and architectural plans and browse our range of double-glazed windows and doors.

Luke’s expertise, eye for design and innovative creativity allow him to design visually appealing and functional glazing solutions that meet customers’ needs.

The Hurst homeowner’s brief was to combine country aesthetics with a contemporary modern twist, still feeling sympathetic to the country while incorporating an Industrial rustic feel that remains modern and sophisticated.

Key points for the windows and doors of the open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space were minimalist, bold, and dark, maximising natural light and countryside views while adding industrial touches and maintaining a homely feel.

With his extensive experience in the glazing industry, Luke demonstrated our range of timber alternative windows and steel-look doors, helping Hurst homeowners make informed decisions about their glazing needs for their home renovation.

After careful consideration, the Hurst homeowners were confident that the quality and design of the Evolution Storm 2 windows, finished in Olive Grey on the exterior and white on the interior, made them the perfect Scandi-rustic and contemporary glazing solution throughout the detached property.

The Hurst homeowners selected the luxurious Elite collection from Aluco for its versatility, durability, and rustic Industrial style aesthetic, which combines retro, industrial, and contemporary elements to create a stunning open-plan kitchen, dining, and living space.

Here at Thames Valley Windows, we have seen a resurgence of heritage black steel look windows and doors reminiscent of the Art Deco era, blending timeless charm with modern functionality. They are a cost-effective solution for replacement windows compared to traditional steel windows.
