Cape Cod style in Hampshire
1st November 2016

BLACK MILLWORK supplied its own range of fenestration, as well as Andersen windows and doors to a renovation project overlooking Lymington Harbour in Hampshire to create a Cape Cod style house.

The combination of the home’s elevated position and its close proximity to the sea makes it prone to salt-air attack, affecting the pH scale of building materials leading to corrosion over time. The owners chose Andersen 400 Series Woodwright Sliding Sash Windows and Andersen 400 Series Frenchwood Door sets, with Andersen’s Stormwatch protection.

Homeowner Bernadette Van Den Brule said: “We were really drawn to this American Cape Cod style home as our property overlooks the harbour. However, we needed to get the balance right, finding products that served us aesthetically and in terms of performance. At first I worried we may have to compromise on some of our design goals but after finding Black Millwork’s range of windows and doors it became obvious we wouldn’t have to.”

At Rivercroft, Black Millwork’s timber aluminium clad composite bi-fold door sets and a timber feature entrance door were also installed.

Bernadette concluded: “We are so happy with the finished result. With Black Millwork’s help we’re now able to enjoy all the benefits of our scenic location in a comfortable and well-lit home.”
