Smooth sailing

In a country where water views remain a highly desirable goal for many homeowners, it is little wonder the trend in joinery is focused on accommodating ever-increasing window sizes. With architectural styles incorporating virtual glass walls, window technology is changing too.

Expansive lake views from this house site high above the water influenced the design, which incorporated plenty of glass throughout. Phoenix Aluminium supplied and installed all the door and window joinery.

Director Steve Cowan says the range of joinery his company supplies is made for New Zealand conditions, particularly important on coastal properties where high wind can be an issue.

"In this home, floating ceilings sit atop reinforced beams and glass rather than timber framing and cladding. The glass and glazing work had to be of the best possible quality to meet that structural challenge and stand the test of time."

The company also offers guaranteed after-sales service, and product and service warranties.
