In order to take advantage of the expansive deck, the owners needed to have easy access between the living area and the outdoor space.

Smartwood doors and windows from Alpwood Joinery Services feature throughout the house. Framed with jarrah on the inside and aluminium on the outside, they match the mouldings and wood floor.

Sue Crockett, a director of Alpwood, says Smartwood is a popular choice.

"Aluminium is the sensible option, because it is hard-wearing. But with Smartwood you get the beauty of timber as well," she says.

Smartwood windows and doors are the only product Alpwood manufactures so the company has developed considerable expertise in this system.

The product range includes bifolding and sliding windows, and doors, casement and awning windows and single and French doors. Curved, arched, greenhouse, box and corner windows can be made to order.
