Transforming a Home with Origin Sliding Doors and Windows
Why Origin?
Having lived in their home for three years, the homeowners were eager to transform their space as part of a larger renovation project. The goal was to restructure the downstairs layout, incorporating a porch into the house, adding underfloor heating, and installing a new kitchen and utility area. Central to this transformation was the addition of Origin’s OS-29 Sliding Doors and OW-70 Windows, which would not only modernise the home but also enhance its connection with the garden.
The homeowners were attracted to the aesthetic appeal of Origin products, especially the slim sightlines, ease of operation, and the increased natural light they promised to bring into the house. Additionally, they valued the energy efficiency and low-maintenance design of the sliding doors. After receiving recommendations from various sources and visiting showrooms in Bristol, they were confident that Origin would meet their needs.
Project Overview
The renovation involved a complete reconfiguration of the downstairs living area, with new sliding doors and windows playing a key role in transforming the space. The homeowners selected the Agate Grey RAL7038M finish, which complemented the external walls and mullions of the house beautifully. This soft, subtle grey tone was a departure from the darker shades that are popular in modern design, and it provided a more harmonious and sympathetic interior colour scheme.
The practical benefits of the sliding doors were equally important. The slim sightlines allowed for a maximised view of the garden, while the smooth operation of the doors made it easy to adjust the space according to weather conditions. The configuration of the doors also worked well with the external landscaping, offering a seamless transition between the indoor and outdoor areas.
The Outcome
Since the installation, the homeowners have experienced a significant improvement in the quality of their living space. The new sliding doors flood the house with morning light, creating a bright, airy atmosphere that makes the interior feel larger and more connected to the outside. This sense of openness has not only enhanced the aesthetic appeal of the home but also contributed to a more enjoyable living environment where they can relax and entertain guests.
Friends and family have been wowed by the transformation, particularly commenting on the beautiful Agate Grey finish and the newfound sense of space. The homeowners themselves are extremely satisfied with the results, noting that the doors have given them the ability to easily reconfigure the living space depending on the weather, creating a flexible and dynamic environment that suits their lifestyle.

The installation was handled by Cotswold Design Ltd, a trusted partner in the project.
