Stellar Aluminium and Profile 22 PVC-U windows and doors from Epwin Window Systems were selected for a luxury self-catering holiday home located in the scenic Cardigan Bay, Wales. The high-end property refurbishment was awarded to GD Windows, an experienced fabricator and installer with over 30 years’ experience in private and commercial projects.
The Courtyard provides luxurious self-catering accommodation set within the grounds of a Georgian mansion, surrounded by 50 acres of pasture and woodlands on the Glaneirw Estate in Ceredigion. In 2013, the current owner started an extensive refurbishment programme, transforming the main mansion and its surrounding estate buildings. The Courtyard was meticulously renovated to an exceptionally high standard, preserving original features such as slate floors and terracotta tiles and combining with high-end modern fenestration solutions including aluminium bifold doors and flush casement windows. All products were carefully considered to maximise the stunning views of the breathtaking countryside.
Gwyn Davies, Director at GD Windows said: “The owners of The Courtyard wanted to use high quality products that combined comfort and superior sophistication. The combination of Stellar Aluminium and Profile 22 ticked all the boxes.”
GD Windows installed two five-pane Stellar Slimline Bifold Doors, each 5m x 2m which fully opened up the rear elevation of the property. Additionally, a four-pane Slimline Bifold Door of 4m x 2m was also fitted to the rear elevation. The installation also included a four-pane Lift and Slide Stellar Door, along with a corner window featuring two fanlights above a fixed light. Over 20 Profile 22 Flush Casement Windows completed the transformation. All products were finished in Anthracite Grey on both sides, creating a striking contrast with the building’s cream stone exterior and adding a sophisticated touch to the interior design.
GD Windows took full responsibility for the manufacture and installation of all products, collaborating closely with other trades on-site to ensure seamless project coordination and a flawless execution. Their attention to detail and commitment to quality helped maintain the project’s momentum, delivering a meticulous finish that met the high standards expected for this luxury development.
Overall Stellar Aluminium and Profile 22 have significantly enhanced the luxurious appeal of the property, contributing to an experience that continues to attract repeat visitors.
Gwyn concluded: “We’re proud to manufacture and install Stellar Aluminium because it’s a window and door system that’s at the forefront of product innovation. With its outstanding thermal performance, high security, incredible durability, sleek minimalist design, and ability to offer better views and an elevated lifestyle, Stellar truly stands out. The Courtyard was an exceptional project to work on and we are delighted with the finished result.”
