Origin OW80 Gable Windows
The Origin OW80 gable windows are a striking architectural feature, above fixed and opening elements, bringing in abundant natural light and creating a bold visual
impact. These custom-designed windows at the front and rear of the property include top and side-hung windows with fixed lights, powder coated in a Jet Black matt finish throughout. The OW80 windows are known for their flush finish, inside and out, providing a sleek, seamless appearance that enhances the property’s contemporary aesthetic. Even better, OW-80s are technically capable. They allow the larger opening windows this house design requires, which other brands cannot achieve.
Crafted from highly insulated aluminium, a professionally applied colour finish, high specification glass units, and Yale locking systems, these windows deliver top-tier security and energy efficiency. The superior glass quality and advanced engineering of the OW80 windows make them a standout choice, perfectly blending style with performance.
Origin door & OB49 Single door
An Origin front door with side panels in the Sandringham design graces the entrance to this stunning home.

This door is both a secure entry point and a statement piece, its modern design seamlessly integrating with the home’s other aluminium features for a cohesive, stylish look.
With a high-security cylinder and an 8-point locking system, the Origin front door ensures maximum security. Its insulated aluminium profile also contributes to the home’s energy efficiency, aligning with the property’s focus on sustainable, cost-effective living.
