Stellar flush windows and doors from Epwin Window Systems have been installed in a striking contemporary new build project in the scenic Pilot Street area of St. Dogmaels near Cardigan in Pembrokeshire. The bespoke split-level residential property has been designed to fully capitalise on its prime coastal location.
The products were manufactured and installed by GD Windows and Gwyn Davies, Director, said: “The architectural vision for this home was to maximise the natural light and make the most of its unique coastal position. The Stellar aluminium system, with its slim sightlines, played a crucial role in achieving this. Its super-slim profile enabled us to open-up the rear aspect of the property across both levels, allowing light to flood the living spaces and provide uninterrupted views of the estuary. The result is a contemporary, light-filled home that truly connects with its surroundings.”
A standout feature of the detached build was the installation of three large Stellar lift and slide patio doors, each measuring 3.3m x 2.5m, complemented by overhead curtain walling with fixed lights across the upper rear elevation. A further three Stellar lift and slide doors, each 2.5m x 2.1m, were installed to the ground floor level.
Elsewhere in the build, three internal screens with duplex bars were fitted, alongside four flush Stellar windows that provide a clean, minimalist aesthetic.
To complement the home’s contemporary stye, all Stellar products were manufactured with anthracite grey external frames and a clean white finish on the interior. As is standard with Stellar, the finish used a durable powder coating with a marine-grade finish that meets the Qualicoat specification, helping to ensure longevity and resilience in the challenging coastal environment.
Neville Gleed, Technical Development Manager at Epwin Window Systems, said: “The flush aesthetics and ultra-slim frames of Stellar are proving increasingly popular in premium projects like this. Architects and developers value the system’s sleek, modern design, which allows for larger expanses of glass without compromising on strength or performance. This has been a significant advantage for companies like GD Windows, enabling them to offer a cutting-edge product that aligns with the demands of contemporary architecture. As a result, they’re able to capitalise on a wide variety of projects where design, light and performance are key considerations.”
This project exemplifies how Stellar is fast becoming the go-to aluminium system for high-end, modern properties delivering the perfect balance of aesthetics, performance and functionality.
