Internal view of conservatory

Conservatory installation in Ware, Hertfordshire

Our most recent Conservatory installation took place in Ware, Hertfordshire.

We were recommended to our client by the high end Hertfordshire based building company Oliver James Construction who specialise in creating modern contemporary living spaces.

The client visited our showroom where the salesman went through specifics for the conservatory including colours, glazing, bi-fold doors and the options for internally glazed blinds.

Once the plans were finalized our sales team in liaison with Atlas, the manufacturers, put together detailed CAD drawings of the proposed space, which gave the client an insight of what would be the finished conservatory.

The colour chosen was RAL 7015 “Slate grey” for the exterior roof lantern and fascias. Internally the skylight lantern was to be white, and glazed using 24mm self-cleaning solar controlled active neutral glass.

The doors were a four part bi-folding system made by Origin who supply high quality windows & doors. They offer optional colour-coded or stainless steel handles hinges, colour-coded anti finger pinch gaskets and the accredited SBD Secured by design police approved locks. These are all covered with a twenty year peace of mind manufacturers guarantee.

Glazed in the bi-folds were 28mm argon filled electrically operated blinds which were hard wired to the mains and operated by remote control. This stunning addition gave the perfect wow factor to the project whilst also closing off the south facing garden at the press of a button.

Installation

Enfield windows part in the project was carried out over four separate days. The first two were spent on the installation of the conservatory followed by the bi-fold doors and then finally installing and wiring the electric blinds.

The client was overwhelmed with this stunning addition to their property. The pictures show how these new living spaces are fast becoming the modern day conservatory design.

Timber sash window bay

Timber sash window installation in Walthamstow, north London

A recent installation took place in the Walthamstow area of north London. The client had recently moved property and was looking to replace the old uPvc windows that had taken away the character and charm of the Victorian property.

Contact was made via our website and a site visit from the sales team was arranged. We carried out an approximate measurement of the windows the client was looking to replace which for now was the front aspect of the property. This consisted of two upstairs main bedroom windows and the lounge front three-part bay window.

At Enfield Windows we choose not to visit potential clients home with the view to selling on the day. We would rather offer advice on all of our products and go through the installation service we provide. We also offer, literature leaving the client with no pressure when deciding on what can be a major purchase for any home depending on what is to be replaced.

After explaining the process that our expertly made timber windows go through from production to being installed we then leave and offer the client a full proposal which is often sent via email. We also invite potential customers to visit the showroom to view the range of timber uPvc and Aluminium products we have on display.

The initial sales call lasts no longer than necessary and in this case the quotation was sent over within forty-eight hours, leaving the client to understand what we were proposing from start to finish.

Two weeks later the client visited the showroom and instantly fell in love with the smooth running of the timber sash windows and most importantly the flawless finish of our factory finished timber products.

Once the order was agreed a contract was arranged and a 25% deposit was taken and within days a full detailed site survey was carried out and the windows were put into production.

With a six to eight week lead time the installation was scheduled and booked in with the client by our  installations team.

 Installation

The installation was scheduled for two days. Our installers carefully and meticulously carried out the replacement of the windows using factory finished window boards and architraves internally, and taped off the walls and frames to create new cement fillets to the exterior walls where required.

Our client was at work during the majority of the installation which we hope was due to the friendly reassuring service initially provided from the outset.

The pictures show a before and after picture. The new windows bring back the full character of the property, not only aesthetically but also adding to the value, lacking with the old uPvc windows. Whilst the installation was carried out we had numerous enquiries from passers-by who could appreciate the massive transformation and quality of the product and workmanship.

 

 

Timber window installation london

Timber window installation in north London

Enfield Windows would like to give you an insight into one of our most recent timber window installations in north London. The installation took place in the Winchmore hill area.

The first point of contact with the client was by a telephone call to our offices where we were invited to visit the customer’s home to provide a quotation for new windows and doors. The sales adviser was booked to visit the property and go through the specific requirements, the whole house in need of new windows and doors.

The client had opted for using a quality uPvc product for the upstairs windows and a replicated timber product for all of the downstairs.

The timber products required had to be very specific. Within the area, most homes have a detailed stepped head in the window sashes that the client was very keen to replicate. This is a detail that can only be reproduced in timber windows and doors.

The sales advisor took the necessary measurements and detailed layouts whilst also explaining the benefits of our superior timber windows and doors. The advisor suggested that customer should visit the showroom to view our timber and uPvc products whilst we would prepare a written proposal detailing the specific requirements that had been discussed during the visit.

The approach we choose is not to offer a quote on the spot unlike many other companies that would often read off a structured price lists. They generally have one goal when being invited to your home, which is the hard sell with the aim to sign you up on the day.

Our ethos is to offer a tailored service and advice on what would be better suited to the property as each home and client have different ideas and expectations about what they want to achieve.

After the quotation was given and a visit was made to our showroom the client accepted our proposal and the ball was set rolling to provide CAD drawings and a detailed contract followed by a full site survey.

The survey was carried out by our experienced surveyor who took his time to go through the property ensuring all the necessary accurate measurements and configurations were taken ready for the order to be placed for manufacturing.

The installation was booked in along with the client choosing architraves, handles and furniture that they felt would be best suited to their home and taste.

Installation

The windows were installed by our very own employed installation team who are highly skilled and very meticulous within their work. All the internal trims window boards and architraves used were factory finished leaving the customer with no re-decoration work.

The final outcome is a stunning installation using the very best products and materials whilst still at a competitive price, the installation has led to recent enquiries and orders within the area.

Why did the client choose Enfield windows?

The feedback from the client was that the time and effort Nick had put into the proposal whilst not applying any pressure or sales tactics was key in giving the customer confidence that we were not just out for the sale. We were told that Adam and Greg, the installers, were a pleasure to have in their home and the attention to detail along with the product far surpassed their expectations.

Local residents were so impressed with our installation, we have already received an order from a neighbour.

Timber bifold door installation in Ealing

Bifold door installation in Ealing, London

One of our recent timber bi-folding door projects was in the Ealing area of London.

The client had found pictures of our timber door range whilst searching Google images. After looking at our website, the clients requested a timber bi-folding door made using timber hardwood.

What makes Enfield Windows doors different from market alternatives is the timber we use. It is supplied in either Baltic Pine, Oak or the more popular hardwood. Everything is engineered cross grained, which helps the door resist against warping, twisting or swelling. This is unlike many other timber doors, which are often crafted using a single piece of timber.

Along with the fully engineered doors and frame is the unique two week factory finished spraying process. This takes place in airtight, chemical state of the art spray booths giving a perfectly even finish every time.

The glazing consists of 24mm toughened Argon filled double glazed units which also offer a low U-value of 1.2.

After the quotation was given and accepted we then carried out a detailed site survey where the aperture finished floor levels and opening configurations were checked and confirmed.

The next stage was to process the order and issue the client with a detailed CAD drawing (as above) to show every detail. This is a design specification we carry out for all of our timber products once an order is confirmed.

The lead time for our timber windows and doors is approximately six to eight weeks from survey. The installation was booked in with the customer two weeks prior to delivery. It was carried out in one day by our very own skilled timber team who carry out all of our timber installations in and around the north and central London areas.

As the pictures above show, these are stunning timber bifold doors, beautifully built and finished.

Our next Timber Installation will be in the Knebworth area in the coming week where we will be installing matching timber bi-folds and French doors.

 

 

Six part bifold door installation

Bifold door installation in Fulham, London

Enfield Windows recently installed an immaculate set of Origin Bi-folding doors to a property in Fulham, London.

BTL property services were undertaking a complete refurbishment of the property and the bi-fold doors were to be a key aspect of the renovation. Spanning over 5.6 metres, these six part doors covered the entire rear of the property.

BTL property services have offices based in Fulham and Chelsea and are a specialist high end refurbishment and building company. Their attention to detail they offer is second to none. Enfield Windows have worked on projects previously, supplying and installing products and we are pleased to say we have built a good relationship.

The original doors to be replaced were also aluminium but of a lesser quality which caused the client many issues.

With bi-folding doors the key thing to remember is the quality and strength of the brand. Origin are arguably the leading bi-fold door manufacturers in the UK. With a state of the art facility they are able to turn around their doors within five working days, an industry first.

Along with the speed of manufacturing, Origin are able to offer a twenty year guarantee on all working parts of their bifold doors. This is a testament to the quality of build and parts that are used in constructing these beautiful doors.

This particular set was to be manufactured in the ever popular Anthracite Grey. The client opted for standard handles, hinges and gaskets although Origin do offer colour coded or stainless steel plus the optional colour coded gaskets.

Installation

After survey was complete the doors were ordered and installed the following week by our two full time trained Origin installers.

As the pictures show, our one day installation was completed successfully and the client was over the moon with the new doors and the smooth ease with which they operated.

If you want further information on the Origin doors or any of our products please feel free to contact us at info@enfieldwindows.co.uk

At Enfield Windows we have a price promise. Due to the volume we supply and install of bi-folding doors, our aim for all of our clients is to better any like for like quotations.

Grey corner bifold door installation

Corner bifold door installation in Muswell Hill, London

 

Enfield Windows – the bifold door experts

Enfield windows latest corner bi-fold door project was to replace the client’s old timber doors with a more modern contemporary maintenance free product.

After an initial enquiry was made via our web site, we were invited to the client’s property to discuss the product, material, colour and glazing requirements for the project.

The doors being replaced were one section of three parts. These were situated alongside a larger three and four part part set that cohesively worked as one, creating a large open corner space.

With such a vast span of glazed walling the glass specification had to be highly efficient during colder months of the year.

Pilkington Glass

Pilkington K Glass™ S is the latest high performance, low-emission soft coated product which offers excellent thermal insulation when incorporated within an Insulating Glass Unit (IGU). It has a highly neutral appearance with optimal solar heat gain, thermal insulation and light transmission to provide the highest Window Energy Rating (WER) performance.

For a door set with a span such as this and with so many moving parts the best choice for material was aluminium. With strong frames and sashes and the equally strong running gears, not only is this a great low maintenance modern material but it’s contemporary look and perfect straight lines completely enhances any area it is situated in.

After going though Origins stock choice of colours that include Slate grey, Black grey, Anthracite Grey and black or white, the slightly lighter Slate grey was chosen. Origin offer up to 200 colour combinations from the RAL colour chart.

Furniture was next area to be decided on. Originally the order placed was for black hinges and gaskets with a stainless steel handle. During the ordering process a member of our installations team called the client to suggest that colour coded gaskets and stainless hinges would be a better choice for the overall look and finish to which the customer agreed and the order was placed.

The diary was space was allocated and within three weeks of our survey the project was completed. During the first day of installation our three highly skilled installers removed and replaced all the doors! This allowed our team to spend the second day carrying out the final detailed trimming and finishing which along with installing itself is key to the overall look.

The pictures speak for themselves – a stunning the new corner and single set are a wonderful addition to the garden and completely transform the rear of the client’s property. The client was extremely happy with the service we provided and more importantly the final result.

Enfield windows currently have three dedicated Origin bi-fold door installers and our customer promise is that we are able to offer a competitive cost survey, supply and install within ten days and in many cases five days. This is something many companies are unable to achieve. Along with our skilled fitters, the product and lead time is what makes us the No.1 google ranked corner bi-fold installers in London.

White timber bay window closeup

Timber window installation in Winchmore Hill, north London

Enfield windows most recent installation was in Winchmore hill area of north London. We are proud to say that this was the third property within the same road in which we replaced the windows, using timber as the choice of material. This time Enfield Windows had been recommended by a previous client living next door.

We were asked to replace two large bay windows and one small front bay window with “like for like” using Hardwood Meranti timber. The project was quoted at a highly competitive rate beating our closest rival by over £1200.00 whilst still supplying the same product.

After the deposit was taken we arranged for the surveyor to visit and take accurate measurements for the order. Internal trims, windows boards and architraves were also measured to be replaced in factory finished timber.

The manufacturing process took approximately five weeks during which time we acquired the gold furniture fittings and scheduled the installation to be booked in on delivery of the frames.

The installers carried out the work over three and a half days and as the results show the new windows are another great addition, not only to the premises but also to the street.

Timber sash window installation in London

Our latest timber sash replacement window project was in the Harringay area of north London. Our client had recently moved to the area and after purchasing the property a new roof, new heating system and replacement windows were a priority.

The first point of contact was via our website and a consultation was scheduled by a member of the office to meet and discuss various options for the rear windows. The client also wanted to change her old timber French doors leading into the garden to timber with a panelled detail section at the bottom and an opening fan window above.

Whilst on the sales visit the client mentioned she was having the front windows replaced in timber with a quotation agreed by a supplier. Our sales representative offered to show the client our timber brochure and pictures from some of our recent timber installations with a view to offering a no obligation quote to try and better the original price she had received.

With the dimensions and specifics taken now for the both the front and rear windows our sales representative went away to accurately cost the windows required. A proposal was sent along with many production photos showing the complete process in which our timber sash windows are constructed and painted.

Huge savings!

As a result, Enfield Windows were able to save the client over a thousand pounds INCLUDING the three additional rear windows and the French door in the price!

A further visit to the showroom was arranged where the client requested to view the windows she would be purchasing for the front aspect of the property.
Once the order was confirmed the survey was scheduled to take the final and accurate dimensions for manufacturing. With only a six week lead time an installation date was agreed and the all the windows were installed over a five day period.
