Selected installations across doors, glazing, and timber windows.

A compact view of the kind of details Astragal is asked to resolve: light, thresholds, sightlines and period-sensitive replacement.

Recent work

What each project needed to resolve.

The examples below focus on the brief, the material route and the finished outcome rather than treating each image as a standalone gallery.

Completed residential project

A coordinated aluminium package across the windows, garden doors and adjoining rooms.

Property: Whole-home aluminium upgrade
Brief: Bring the windows and garden-facing doors into one consistent frame language while improving light and access.
Material: Aluminium windows and doors
Finish: Dark aluminium frames with clean, consistent sightlines
Outcome: The glazing reads as one considered package across the front, rear and interior spaces.

Completed residential project

A garden-facing glazed screen and internal doors designed around light, long views and a strong frame rhythm.

Property: Rear extension and internal glazing
Brief: Connect the kitchen to the garden and divide the interior without losing borrowed light or visual continuity.
Material: Slim-frame glazed screens and doors
Finish: Dark frames with a consistent pane rhythm
Outcome: The external and internal glazing work together while keeping each space clearly defined.

Completed residential project

A mixed-material upgrade pairing period-sensitive timber windows with a broad rear garden opening.

Property: Period home refurbishment
Brief: Preserve the character of the front elevation while opening the rear living space more directly to the garden.
Material: Timber sash windows and aluminium sliding doors
Finish: White timber joinery with dark rear glazing
Outcome: Traditional street-facing character and contemporary garden access sit comfortably within one project.

Rear extension

Large-format sliding doors coordinated with threshold, drainage and garden access.

Property: Garden-facing rear extension
Brief: Create a broader connection between the living space and garden while keeping the frame line calm.
Material: Aluminium sliding doors
Finish: Slim aluminium frame with large panes of glass
Outcome: The rear room gains more daylight and a clearer view out without adding visual weight to the opening.

South west London

A carefully aligned door installation with the threshold and frame finish resolved on site.

Property: Door replacement
Brief: Replace a tired door with a better-resolved frame, threshold and finish for everyday use.
Material: Timber door
Finish: Painted timber with coordinated hardware
Outcome: The entrance feels more settled, secure and proportionate to the surrounding elevation.

Feature glazing

Steel-look aluminium doors used as a strong architectural detail.

Property: Feature glazing
Brief: Add a stronger frame rhythm where the opening needed more definition than a minimal aluminium system.
Material: Industrial aluminium
Finish: Dark steel-look aluminium
Outcome: The doors become part of the architecture while keeping the practical advantages of aluminium.
