Case Study: Crowthorne |

|
The owners of this property were very focused on the unique style and type of build they were looking for. Along with their engineer they approached Marvin Architectural because he was familiar with Marvin Windows and Doors and also because he had had positive experiences with Marvin in the past. Needless to say, this project too was a success. All elevations of windows and doors were provided by Marvin Architectural before the build commenced in order to help the owners visualise the final outcome. The feature windows were tall sliding sashes combined with half circle round tops. The sun burst glazing bar pattern employed on the half circle round tops line up nicely with the Victorian glazing bar pattern on the sliding sashes. These large windows create a beautiful characteristic to the house as well as providing ample daylight. |

In addition to these feature windows, Marvin architectural provided French doors combined with the same sunburst glazing bar patterned half circle round tops and accompanied by Victorian style sliding sashes on either side. The final touch came in the form of curved head dormer sliding sashes windows, which also followed the same Victorian style glazing bar pattern. As you can see from the elevations and photographs, the architectural vision for this project has clearly come to life. Not only are Marvin Windows and Doors beautiful and aesthetically pleasing, they are also high performance. All windows and doors offered by Marvin Architectural employ soft coat Low E II glazing. This is a second generation glass which features two panes of glass with a layer that reduces heat gain in the summer months and heat loss in the winter. The space between the panes can be filled with argon gas as an additional barrier. Low E II also filters UV rays, which helps reduce fading in carpets and furniture.
