A showpiece close to hand
1st August 2017

When APEER, the creators of the Lumi window and door system heard that a substantial ultra-contemporary house was being planned not far from its head office, the opportunity seemed too good to miss, as MD Asa McGillian explained:

“When we began creating the Lumi concept, our mind’s eye put it in a high-value, bespoke contemporary setting. Then, when we saw that the architect’s drawings were so much like that mental picture, we could not let the opportunity pass.

The result is not only a superb piece of architecture in its own right but also an absolutely ideal setting to bring out the best in the Lumi system.”

The installation makes use of Lumi windows, residential doors and sliding doors, placing them among a variety of exterior materials including white render, grey random stone and shiplap timber cladding.

Anthracite grey was chosen throughout for the Lumi exteriors, with the window interiors in Signal Grey. Many of the ground floor windows are single-pane floor-to-ceiling panels, calling on high technical spec and energy efficiency. In the case of the large panes, however, the proximity of the site did also prove to be an additional bonus.

Asa said “At the time, these were some of the biggest panes we had produced in the system. Being such a short distance away however, we were able to supervise both transportation and installation and at the same time gain many valuable insights that have now been integrated into our standard procedures.”

The Lumi system is based on triple glazing bonded to an internal core of foam-filled reinforced glass fibre profiles. To the exterior, it shows uninterrupted ‘frameless’ panes of glass while the interior has a more recognisable window profile appearance.
