It is always interesting to see the materials and products builders choose for their own homes. And it is even more significant when that builder happens to be a familiar face on TV, and his home is being renovated for a programme.

When John Cocks remodelled his house for the My House My Castle programme, he specified Rylock satin anodised aluminium joinery. A large, 5.4m-wide opening to the deck features slider doors from Rylock's Atlantic Suite commercial-grade joinery well suited to residential projects.

Other new joinery in the house includes Foldback® bifold doors, louvred windows and Eurosliders® from Rylock's residential Pacific Suite. All the doors feature flush sills, which enhance the streamlined look, and are designed to avoid a build-up of dirt in the tracks. The design also ensures the surfaces are easy to maintain.

Adam Bilcich from Rylock Auckland says the joinery features blue-green tinted Eclipse glass from Pilkington Glass.

"The thermal properties of this glass help to keep the heat out in summer, while retaining the warmth inside in winter."
