W20 Steel Screens Define Spaces in Modern Mansion

A longstanding member of the Steel Window Association has helped the designers of a luxurious modern mansion delineate and enhance a variety of living and functional spaces using clear and privacy-glazed steel-framed screens throughout the multi-million pound property's main floors.

Cotswold Casements was awarded the contract for the five-bedroom home, which commands spectacular views down a valley, and employs a steel-framed structure with blockwork cladding finished in crisp white render to reference the Art Deco era. 

 The lower ground floor houses the garage and plant rooms, while the impressive scale main entrance door opens onto a storm lobby sheltered by the first of the 3500mm tall steel screens. Most of the screens feature inset matching pass doors in a RAL 7016 Anthracite Grey polyester powder coat finish.

The ground floor contains all of the bedrooms, where a variety of different-sized W20 screens are glazed with ‘Reeded’ glass front shower areas and toilets. Also on the ground floor are a cinema room and large gymnasium, where a 16-metre-long screen runs the length of the room to separate it from a lounge area.

However, around the first-floor atrium area, Cotswold Casements has facilitated genuine visual creativity. A quadrangle of W20 screens surrounds the top of the central staircase, offering access to the four wings, where the main lounge, kitchen, study and spectacular cantilevered dining room are located.

The Managing Director for Cotswold Casements, Matthew Hahn, commented:

“The property totals some 16,000 square feet and is quite deep plan, so the glazed screens serve not just to offer privacy and separation, but also help to ensure there is ample natural light entering the central parts of the building. The W20 ‘equal leg’ sections are elegant, while many of the screens feature reeded glass which is becoming increasingly popular.

“An acoustic laminate was specified throughout for safety and sound reduction, while most of the pass doors are fitted with magnetic closers for convenience - and the design omitted threshold bars to create level access. Overall, the aesthetic result graces a beautiful new build.”

The homeowner comments:

“We had an outstanding experience with The Cotswold Casement Company. The attention to detail was second to none, and the team worked closely with us throughout the design process to ensure every requirement was met.

“The quality of craftsmanship is simply superb, and the result has truly enhanced the overall design of our home. We couldn’t be happier – the finished product is both beautiful and functional. Highly recommend!”
