Stunning views

Spectus windows were selected for a modern architect-designed home in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and manufactured and installed by McIlhatton and Company.

The detached new home was designed to make the most of the stunning views over the local countryside.

Patrick McIlhatton, managing director at McIlhatton and Company, said: “Spectus casement windows provided the high-end sleek aesthetics this project demanded to support the contemporary architecture of the new home as well as being able to meet the thermal efficiency requirements.”

Twenty-four casement windows and one set of French doors were installed, and the project’s highlight was the large apex feature window situated at one corner of the property. McIlhatton and Company recommended a steel support top and bottom for this window to ensure the building was sufficiently reinforced.

All the windows had a Window Energy Rating of A, and the frames were manufactured in anthracite grey outside and white internally.

“We have manufactured Spectus windows for over 20 years,” Patrick said. “We like the multi-chambered frame, the sleek appearance, the durability, energy efficiency and colour selection that comes with Spectus products.”
