GarageTek UK Although best known for our traditional wall, ceiling and flooring solutions, for this customer we did something extraordinary. Mr S wanted to update his garage with wall storage to hold all his sports equipment as well as creating an overflow kitchen area for those larger family events when the space in the house was just not big enough. On top of that, he also wanted to update his garage door to increase security, create more usable space and stop all the draughts from coming in AND sort out access to his loft space above the garage. Alastair Broom went to visit and talked Mr S though all the options and how the process would work. He left him with a detailed plan and an accurate cost for GarageTek to complete the work. Work was undertaken in mid November 2015 and took roughly 5 days to complete. As you can see from the finished result, the floor is now superbly smooth and bright, the wall storage for his bike, golf clubs and other bits keep the floor area clear of clutter and the kitchen units add a real wow factor. The old garage door has been replaced by a slick Roller Shutter door (to see more of this service click here) and means that he can now park his car right up against it without the fear of scratching his car or having to move it to open the door and access to the loft area has been updated and made easily accessible. Needless to say, Mr S is delighted with the result and so are we.

hokon / Masukowitz Ein Spiel von Licht und Technik In jeder Stufe sind 68W High-Power LEDs eingebaut, die über Dali-Bus-Technik einzeln und in drei zusammenhängenden Bereichen gesteuert werden. Die Kopplung der Steuerung mit diversen Sensoren, Zeitgebern sowie Alarm und Rauchmeldern ermöglicht unterschiedliche Lichtszenarien. An Wochentagen wird das Treppenhaus morgens als Aufweckzeremonie stark beleuchtet sein; nachts dagegen nur der zu betretende Bereich, während der Rest abgedimmt ist. Gehen im Notfall Alarmanlage und/oder Rauchmelder an, so wird die Treppenbeleuchtung zu jeder Zeit automatisch sofort auf volle Leuchtkraft gestellt. Die Wärme der High-Power LEDs muss über Kühlkörper abgeführt werden. Diese sind so eingebaut und bemessen, dass ein Teil der Wärme über die Tragkonstruktion abgeführt wird, ein anderer Teil erwärmt die Trittfläche der Stufen auf max. 27°C.

Inspiration for a large contemporary curved staircase in Channel Islands.

As part of the renovation of this otherwise vernacular four bedroom home in Stratton a contemporary double height glazed atrium with a new staircase was inserted which allows light to flood into the house and showcases magnificent views of the surrounding countryside. In addition, an annexe with level access was created, forming a separate, self-contained unit. Cedar cladding distinguishes this discrete accommodation, whilst the use of natural materials integrates well with the slate, natural stone and render of the main house.
