letting the light  flood into this home Lynn Cruickshanks moved to Ayr on the west coast of Scotland in 2018. The house had untapped potential for beautiful sea views, but the existing windows were small and didn’t allow much light in. images: Photography by Paul Zanre

Lynn wanted to take advantage of the views from her new home and knew from the start that she wanted to renovate the windows using Schüco products. “I used Schüco bi-fold doors to renovate my old home and loved them, so I knew the product was really good and that I wanted to use them again”.

The large Schüco ASS 70.HI sliding doors have transformed Lynn’s living room, allowing the light to stream in so she can sit back and soak in the calming sunsets.

The doors are easy to operate, sliding smoothly and quietly. They also provide excellent thermal insulation and weathertightness, essential during a Scottish winter by the coast.

The large-scale sliding doors also provide a great setting for entertaining and guests to the house have all complimented them: “Everybody just thinks it’s stunning. A friend, visiting for the first time said she got goosebumps looking at the amazing views!”.

On the ground floor the large Schüco ASS 70FD bi-fold doors have similarly unveiled the striking views from Lynn’s

home. Schüco bi-fold doors offer a level, thermally insulated floor threshold combining a smooth transition from inside to outdoors with outstanding weathertightness.

The slim aluminium profiles of the bi-fold doors allow for generous views. The sleek design is paired with precision engineering that ensures the doors can be opened and closed effortlessly thanks to the smooth-running stainless steel roller system.

Both sets of doors provide the perfect protection from the strong Scottish coastal winds, meaning the windows no longer rattle and Lynn gets to enjoy the blissful views, whatever the weather.

When asked what it is that draws her to Schüco, Lynn recounted her experiences in her old home: “For me, their large windows and doors just allow the light to stream in whilst offering a beautiful design and mechanisms that are second to none. I honestly didn’t consider anybody else, I was really quite adamant!”.
