Old meets new in the Cotswolds<\/strong><\/p>\n

A mix of traditional master craftsmanship combined with the latest building design techniques have been effectively combined in this stunning property in the heart of the Cotswolds. Set in its own valley, it comprises a period cottage with a contemporary extension built into the hillside.<\/p>\n

An impressive wall of glazing to one side of the build maximises the views across the countryside, giving a light, open feeling to the design.<\/p>\n

However, at night, or when the property is empty, such a remote location can cause concerns about security, prompting the client to specify shutters on all the windows and entrances.<\/p>\n

Naturally, when so much thought had gone into matching the old to the new buildings, the aesthetic design was of paramount importance. By choosing Equilux security shutters from Charter Global Ltd they could be intelligently concealed within the honey-coloured Cotswold stone and when lowered, the anodised shutters\u2019 have a subtle matt silver finish which complements the natural choice of building materials.<\/p>\n

Installed in the traditional manner at the time of build, the Equilux system incorporates a shutter within a structural lintel, providing an unobtrusive structurally integrated solution that still addresses the usual features of lintel design such as structural loadbearing, cold bridging and damp proofing, but has the added benefit of acting as a high security shutter.<\/p>\n

The security shutters have been fully integrated into the property\u2019s Building Management System and can be remotely controlled at the touch of a button.<\/p>\n
