Architect chooses Tradeglaze for Nottinghamshire self-build home

Products Used:

Project Overview

Location: Retford, Nottinghamshire

This striking self-build home showcases bespoke Aluminium glazing manufactured and installed by Tradeglaze. Finished in a distinctive olive grey (RAL 7002), the windows and doors were carefully selected to complement the property’s blend of contemporary architecture and traditional detailing.

Client Testimonial

Having collaborated with Tradeglaze on a number of projects through his architectural practice, Phase Architecture, the homeowner was already familiar with our manufacturing capabilities, installation expertise and customer-focused approach. His experience includes developments such as The Parklands in Sudbrooke, where Tradeglaze supplied and installed bespoke glazing solutions as part of a premium residential scheme.

For this self-build project, he was looking for high-quality products, attention to detail and a team he could trust to deliver his vision.

Products Specified

Aluminium Windows

Manufactured in-house at our Lincoln facility using the AluK 58BW Flat Sash system, the Aluminium windows feature slim 65mm sightlines, among the narrowest available within our Aluminium window range.

Heritage-style astragal bars were incorporated to reflect the property’s traditional detailing, while a bespoke Olive Grey (RAL 7002) finish was specified to complement the off-white render. Together, these design choices help achieve the modern heritage aesthetic envisioned by the architect.

Aluminium Patio Doors

The property’s rear elevation incorporates a Senior Ali Slide Slimline Inline Sliding Door in matching RAL 7002. Specified to PAS 24 standards, the system combines slim sightlines with enhanced security performance while maintaining a clean, contemporary aesthetic.

Composite Door

A Verona-style Vista composite door completes the entrance. Finished in RAL 7002 with matt black hardware, the door achieves a U-value of 1.2 W/m²K and provides a durable, thermally efficient entrance solution.
