Crisp, clean-lined and contemporary – black
anodised window and door systems from
Fairview take this home to the next level
Above: Dramatic entrance – a
contemporary Black Mist anodised
panel door greets visitors to this
upmarket residence. The designer
door was fabricated by family
company Fairview Systems and
installed by the Dunedin-based
company Ellisons Aluminium.
The long-life aluminium door and
window systems were an ideal
choice for the rugged, coastal
location.

In terms of looks alone, it makes sense to
select window and door frames with care – after
all, the right product can set off the good bones
of a home, accentuating its street presence. And
as a bonus, increased kerb appeal translates to
more money in the bank if it’s ever time to sell.
This architecturally designed home makes
a feature of black aluminium joinery supplied
by Fairview Systems and custom manufactured
and installed by Ellisons Aluminium.
The impact of the sleek anodised joinery is
evident right from the front entry, says Ellison’s
project manager Andrew Brook.

“Here, a Black Mist anodised panel door
makes a strong design statement and welcomes
you into the home.”
Most windows and doors on the Dunedin
residence are from Fairview’s Thermal series,
ensuring warm, snug interiors. However, the
company’s Architectural series features on the
front sliders to dramatic effect.
Ellisons Aluminium also customised the
sleek black anodised flashings. These work well
with the framing systems and front door.
“Another feature on this project was the
over-cladding slider to the rear of the house.
