Consumers expect new-build homes to have a modern look, be bright and airy and have a number of different living spaces to suit the way we live today.
Architectural glazing and advanced composite systems can play important roles in achieving this desired look, feel and functionality, combining the wow factor with affordability, ease of installation and long-lasting performance.
Constructing any essential safety edge protection from glass offers the added advantages of transparency and timeless elegance. Ideal for indoor staircases and mezzanine floors as well as outdoor balcony and terrace areas, glass balustrades offer a contemporary finish that opens up any space. They provide a secure safety barrier while retaining the flow of natural light and keeping sightlines clear, providing uninterrupted views.
Available as frameless systems or with round or square posts, the look of glass balustrades can be chosen to complement the wider architecture of a home. Built from durable, low-maintenance materials, these balustrades are as practical as they are beautiful — making them a go-to choice for today’s residential new-builds.
Slimline steel glazing systems are ideal for creating the clean lines and open-plan spaces used in modern residential architecture. These slim profiles support large expanses of glass, allowing natural light to flood living spaces and creating strong visual connections with outdoor areas.
Available in pivoting, sliding, folding, or fixed configurations, these steel systems are highly adaptable and can be tailored to suit any design vision. Thermally broken and built to last, these systems offer excellent insulation, sound control, and security — all wrapped in a sleek, architectural frame.
Beyond external facades, slimline glazing is just as impactful indoors. Used as internal partitions, doors, or even bespoke shower screens, steel glazing adds an elegant, industrial edge to interiors while maintaining transparency and a sense of openness.
The outdoor space of a new-build home is no longer an afterthought — it’s an essential part of the living environment. Advanced colourfast composite systems are designed to elevate these exterior areas with a seamless blend of durability, sustainability, and visual appeal. From decking and fencing to façade finishes, these systems offer a contemporary look and the warmth of natural textures, with none of the maintenance traditionally associated with timber.
Composite decking provides a colour-stable, slip-resistant surface that’s ideal for entertaining, relaxing, or simply extending living areas outdoors. Slatted and panel composite cladding offers a modern, weatherproof exterior finish that complements a new home’s architectural style. Composite fencing and gates add privacy and security without the need for painting or staining, and when combined with features like glass balustrades or Juliet balconies, create spaces that feel open, usable, and refined year-round.
These solutions deliver stylish and affordable outdoor living spaces that look great from day one and stay that way.
