Portfolio

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.

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.

London refurbishment

A rear elevation upgrade balancing slim frames, brickwork and interior light.

Property: Period London refurbishment
Brief: Bring more light into the rear elevation while respecting the existing brickwork and proportions.
Material: Aluminium glazing
Finish: Dark frame line coordinated with the surrounding masonry
Outcome: The glazing reads as a deliberate architectural detail rather than a heavy replacement frame.

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.

Residential refurbishment

Glazed units coordinated with the surrounding structure for a clean, quiet result.

Property: Residential refurbishment
Brief: Coordinate new glazed elements with the surrounding structure so the installation feels integrated.
Material: Mixed glazing package
Finish: Frame finish coordinated with the wider refurbishment
Outcome: The glazing supports the room layout without distracting from the rest of the renovation.

London period home

A whole-home upgrade balancing light, proportion and period character.

Property: Whole-home refurbishment
Brief: Balance improved comfort and daylight with the character expected from a London period home.
Material: Timber and aluminium glazing package
Finish: Material choices matched to each elevation
Outcome: Traditional details and larger areas of glazing can sit together when each opening is specified separately.

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.
