January for Home Improvement

It may come as a surprise to some people that, despite the economy and freezing temperatures, many homeowners are getting their home improvement projects under way this month. 

Extensions take months, therefore continuing the project over the winter makes sense - but what about replacing patio doors on the sitting room or kitchen/diner? Yes, that happens too! Well, why not, with Christmas out of the way and - here's a fact - new doors can be fitted in half a day which is no real hardship, is it?

Our client, SunSeeker Doors, has been manufacturing doors to order and installing them for over twenty years. At that time, they launched bi-folding doors, the only British manufacturer to do so and, in 2009, they launched UltraSlim doors. Again, the first British door designer and manufacturer to offer bespoke, ultra slim aluminium frames with a revolutionary concept. 

UltraSlim has a master door which will pivot (either inwards or outwards, as the customer prefers) then each of the other doors can be moved along the guide rails, leaving a gap where required - or even several small gaps by spacing the doors. All the doors can slide towards the master door where they, too, will turn  90° to stack against the side of the gap, whether the door set comprises 2 doors or 8 doors. 

The doors have slim profiles and, with only a 19mm side frame, there is more viewing glass than most retractable door systems. SunSeeker Doors Frameless Glass Doors have more glass but may only be suitable for specific installations.

New Web Site Launched for Client

The BPc was asked to design a logo and website for Sightline Doors.

Sightline Doors are extra large glass sliding doors - each panel can be an impressive 3 metres by 6 metres in size yet they are incredibly easy to slide open and closed.

The brief was to keep everything clean and simple. The logo represents the Earth's horizon. It's in dark blue and white with SIGHTLINE DOORS in an open font style. The website has been created with WordPress.

The words sight line are commonly used in the glass doors industry to describe the amount of obstruction in one's sight line. With Sightline Doors, the adjacent frames obscure only a 28mm width (just over an inch) where two frames meet, which may have several metres of glass either side of the join!

The website includes other innovative door options, including UltraSlim and Frameless Glass slide-pivot doors and Slimline bi-folding doors from British manufacturer, SunSeeker Doors.

The BPc specialises in helping small, medium and start-up companies with their internet presence.
