Ben Brocklesby, Director at Origin, leading manufacturer of handcrafted aluminium windows and doors, discusses the brand’s latest product innovation.
Homeowner demand for steel-look windows and doors has exploded in recent years. They are drawn to the timeless elegance and industrial chic these designs bring to both period properties and contemporary builds. However, traditional steel windows and doors often fall short when it comes to thermal performance, a crucial consideration in today’s market. This led us to develop our latest product – the OW-70 Soho Window.
The Soho Window is inspired by one of Manhattan’s most chic neighbourhoods. The window is crafted from high-grade aluminium to capture an authentic aesthetic yet whilst offering a performance that exceeds Building Regulations.
Custom aesthetics
Available in casement and fixed frame configurations, it makes for a perfect addition to any residential or commercial setting. Each product is made bespoke to exact customer specifications and with over 150 RAL colours to choose from, including textured and dual-coloured options, there’s plenty of choice. The window also benefits from an exceptional finish thanks to our Qualicoat-accredited in-house powder coating facility. This process involves a 10-stage pre-treatment cleaning process to ensure the aluminium profile’s surface is flawless and free of any imperfections before the chosen colour is applied.
Unbeatable construction
Engineered from the highest-grade aluminium, the Soho Window boasts ultra-slim sightlines of just 65mm, true glazing divides, and square beading for a sleek and sophisticated finish. Plus, the window is backed by our guarantee of up to 20-years.
Superior thermal performance
Whilst the new Soho Window looks good, we know that customers want more than just aesthetics. That’s why we’ve designed it to achieve U-Values as low as 1.4 W/m2K, which exceed Building Regulations to ensure energy efficiency and help reduce energy bills. First-rate weathertight seals will further enhance a property’s thermal efficiency and ensure protection against the elements.
Ultra-secure
We have also built security into the design. The lock is a stainless steel multi-point lock, which is fitted to accurately align with the keeps. The number of locking points also varies depending on the window size, meaning security is not compromised no matter how big the window is. The Soho Window also complies with PAS 24 for ultimate peace of mind for homeowners.
Creating a ‘Soho House’
The Soho Window seamlessly complements Origin’s existing Soho Collection. This includes the External and Internal Door and allows our trade Partners to offer a complete solution for homeowners. With exclusive hardware, all products in the collection offer a seamless and elevated look.
