We use both quality uPVC and powder coated aluminium frames in our garden buildings. As standard our Origin designs feature anthracite grey frames, and Optima both Grey (RAL7016) and Black (RAL9005) frames, that complement the treated timber cladding. We always try and offer our customers maximum choice, so for an additional fee, we can colour match your studio window and door frames to those of your house.
Our aluminium frames come with a 10 year warranty.

Security
We understand that the security of your garden building and its contents is of paramount importance. All our windows and doors come with high security locks as standard with optional extras such as PIR security lighting available.
Integral Blinds
As well as a wide range of aluminium and wooden external venetian blinds, you can choose from our range of integral blinds that sit within the argon filled glazed panels. They are controlled by magnetic linkage and being completely enclosed, are maintenance free. Integral blinds are available in a variety of colours and provide a clutter free, seamless finish for all folding and sliding doors and fixed panels.
Stylish and practical window dressing
One of the main features of your garden studio will be the fabulous natural light, relaxing views across your garden and the opportunity to open your sliding or bi-folding doors to enhance the space and create a truly outdoors indoors feel.
The attraction of panoramic expanses of glazing is undeniable, however there will inevitably be times when you wish to control the amount of light; working at the computer, watching TV or simply wishing to create some privacy.
We therefore offer a wide range of solutions. By far the most popular and practical are our INTEGRAL BLINDS, housed within your glazed unit. These are perfect for all double glazed units and the only practical solution for sliding and bi-folding doors.
The advantages of integral blinds are:
They never require cleaning!
The glazed unit is still argon filled and so thermal values are retained
They are discrete and stylish; always a talking point at our Grand Designs stand
The operating mechanism is a manual system (unless otherwise specified); chosen for its reliability and ease of use
A five-year guarantee on the sealed unit and integral blind, and a two year guarantee on the external blind components
Fine control the light without obscuring views of the garden
Can be fully retracted to sit at the top of your glazed panel, when not in use
Come in an array of colours

You can also choose from our range of externally fitted aluminium or wooden venetian blinds, which work with fixed glazed units. The array of colours and styles is vast and we install in consultation with individual clients’ requirements.
Solar Electric Integral Blinds
Eco-friendly, solar powered integral blinds are a neat and stylish alternative to curtains, external blinds and other window dressings. They fit perfectly inside the double-glazed unit, and this means they won’t get damaged and will never need cleaning.
