Outdoor Living
HELPING TO BRING THE INSIDE … OUTSIDE !
Birmingham-based Skyview is an official Warmcore aluminium window and door partner and as one of the UK ’ s leading fabricators , it offers a full range of products that help connect outdoor and indoor living space .
|
For over nine years , Skyview has provided frames , glass , roofs , doors , conservatories and orangeries and in 2016 , Skyview invested in new machinery as part of the exciting and exclusive launch to expand the Warmcore product range in 2016 .
Skyview managing director , John Sewell , said : “ When connecting your indoor and outdoor living space , bi-fold doors are a contemporary way to transform a property and create really stunning , light-filled living areas . This allows homeowners to blur the lines between where ‘ indoor space ’ ends and your garden begins .”
Bi-fold doors can help create a unique living space as they can fill the full width of your property or conservatory , creating panoramic views , and creating
|
a unique living space that is as versatile as it is stunning .
John Sewell said , “ WarmCore is different . From inception , this revolutionary window and door system was designed to be as thermally efficient as possible . We have seen the Warmcore bi-folding doors become our most popular option for modern living areas

where the inside and out are to be merged . Slim square framing and a flush floor finish from inside to out are important factors in creating that merging of inside and out .”
With Warmcore , gone are the days of rigidly defined spaces . Warmcore folding doors were born with the ethos and flexibility
|
|
|
that can help the homeowner create a space that works for them . Bi-fold Doors are perfect for all seasons too , as they can be kept closed in winter to watch rain and snowstorms from the warmth and comfort of a favourite chair and in spring and summer , slide them wide open for days of al fresco living .
With the innovative design of the Warmcore folding sliding doors the door sashes can be split in whichever way that will best
|
suit the home , all going to the left or to the right or split in any combination . It also allows the majority of the door sashes to be locked in one place , just using a single door for everyday use , rather than having to fully open them every time .

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS
As all window fabricators and installers know , the trend for outdoor living has increased over the last few years , especially with the introduction of the bi-folding door and the phrase ‘ Bringing the outdoors in .’
Bi-folding door specialist , Whiterose Windows Limited , operates from two premises in West Yorkshire , a large old mill complex in Queensbury , which has recently been extended , and a factory unit in Brighouse . The company mainly supplies to the trade , fabricating a complete range of bespoke products including windows , bi-folding doors , sliding patios , and commercial doors , using both Smarts Architectural Aluminium or energy rated , quality Liniar PVCu Profile .
When Whiterose expanded its range to include aluminium , around five years ago , it went through the same process as it did when originally choosing the Liniar
PVCu system to manufacture . It took time researching the system that best suited its client ’ s needs and , after consulting with its customers , found that the Smarts system came out on top for being an industry recognised , quality , affordable system .
‘
fixed prices for our bi-fold sets , regardless of configuration
’
This year , with the increase in space , Whiterose is hoping to vastly improve its current lead times on the most popular aluminium colours , whilst remaining competitive with its transparent pricing . Tony Smith , owner and director of Whiterose Windows , commented : “ Our lead time for PVCu , especially Modloc bi-folds , has always been very quick within the market place , so hopefully , by increasing our facilities and employing more staff , we will also be able to significantly improve our current lead time of three to four weeks on standard coloured aluminium products in 2017 .”
He went on to add : “ As a business , we operate to economies of scale rather than relying on big margins . This allows us to offer our products at very competitive prices , for example we have fixed prices for our bi-fold sets , regardless of configuration .”
Whiterose has recently added a new string to its bow , starting to manufacture Liniar ’ s brand new creation , Alumina , which is a true aluminium bi-folding door system , beautifully sculptured and foiled to match perfectly with the full Liniar product suite . Alumina can achieve U-values as low as 1.2 W / m ² K . With its sleek lines and greater efficiency , it offers the best of both worlds .
