The director of MD Aluminium, Mark
Holland, says the benefits of the Fairview
Architectural system include the ability to
manufacture extra large panels – here, the
panels are 2.4m long. As double glazing is
not an option at this size, these windows
have Solect 12.38 laminate for insulation.
“The sliders and windows run the full
length of the 22m-long house and wrap
around the 2.4m wing walls,” he says.
“We used heavy duty box mullions and
couplers for the frames to withstand the
strong winds.“
A specially folded flashing over
the outside face of the frame allows for
thermal expansion.
