‘Four in one’ showpiece extension
31st March 2020

APEER found the opportunity to show its Lumi window and door system in both traditional and contemporary surroundings and in new-build and retrofit all on one site when it undertook a contemporary extension to a traditional Hertfordshire home.

When Michael and Emma Leliveld began working with TW-2 Architects to add a contemporary extension to their home, they had seen the Lumi system at one of the Grand Designs events. But when they decided to upgrade all their windows and doors at the same time, they thought the same system would give a perfect match for old and new.

Now, with 17 windows, two doors and an expansive pair of patio doors all from Lumi in its Anthracite Grey, the house has also seen fuel bills cut, largely due to Lumi’s U-Values with its argon-filled triple glazed units, low-E glass and warm edge Superspacers in its ‘frameless’ bonded glass fibre construction.

Apeer MD Asa McGillian said: “When we originally designed the Lumi concept, we first pictured it in contemporary new-build settings but so many installations since then have shown it to be just as much at home in all styles of classical and traditional homes, both retrofit and new-build.

“Now with the Lelivelds’ home, anyone can see all those facets of its versatility in this one property – in short, the best single showcase for the potential of Lumi that we could hope for.”
