Dual finish adds style to energy-efficient self-build
31st March 2015

Dual-finish Andersen windows from BLACK MILLWORK are among the main features of a unique self-build property with outstanding energy efficiency credentials in the north of Scotland.

These include 17 Andersen A-Series windows, finished in Dove Grey on the exterior and Pine on the interior. Achieving U-values of 1.4 W/m2K, the range is the best performing and most energy efficient Andersen has ever produced.

Also installed were Black Millwork’s own aluminium clad French double doors, finished with external colour to match the windows. Benefitting from a comprehensive 10-year warranty, the doors achieve a U-value of 1.79 W/m2K.

Donald McInnes, Managing Director of Log & Cedar Construction, the supplier of the custom home package, said: “The owners of the were keen to get the balance right between building something that felt like theirs and blending in with the local architecture, and to this end, the dual finish windows were perfect.

After delivery of the home package from Log & Cedar Construction, the house was erected and watertight in under eight weeks. Incorporating super insulated external walls and a state-of-the-art mechanical ventilation heat recovery system (MVHR), the house also uses a biomass boiler to feed the underfloor heating.
