Black anodised window and door systems from Fairview systems

In terms of looks alone, it makes sense to select window and door frames with care after all, the right product can set off the good bones of a home, accentuating its street presence. And as a bonus, increased kerb appeal translates to more money in the bank if it's ever time to sell.

This architecturally designed home makes a feature of black aluminium joinery supplied by Fairview Systems and custom manufactured and installed by Ellisons Aluminium.

The impact of the sleek anodised joinery is evident right from the front entry, says Ellison's project manager Andrew Brook.

"Here, a Black Mist anodised panel door makes a strong design statement and welcomes you into the home."

Most windows and doors on the Dunedin residence are from Fairview's Thermal series, ensuring warm, snug interiors. However, the company's Architectural series features on the front sliders to dramatic effect.

Ellisons Aluminium also customised the sleek black anodised flashings. These work well with the framing systems and front door.

"Another feature on this project was the over-cladding slider to the rear of the house. This pulls back across the exterior wall. Black Zen hardware complements both the Fairview system and the house itself," says Brook.
