Ben Brocklesby, Director at Origin, the UK’s leading manufacturer of luxury aluminium windows and doors, discusses the company’s latest product that’s shaking up the fenestration market.
The Soho External Door (OB-36+) is the first launch in Origin’s new generation of products. This state-of-the-art bi-fold and French door system not only boasts highly sought-after glazing bars and ultra-slim sightlines, but also achieves Future Homes 2025 compliance, a year ahead of the new building regulations. This makes it an all-around game-changing product for those building residential or commercial properties.
Where luxury meets functionality
The new Soho External Door represents the pinnacle of luxury fenestration by seamlessly combining cutting-edge design with unparalleled functionality, quality, and thermal performance. Designed by Origin’s in-house R&D team and meticulously handcrafted in the UK to exact specifications, this new exterior aluminium door sets the new standard for excellence.
Tailored aesthetics to follow modern interior trends
Mirroring interior style preferences of the modern day, the door allows clients to personalise the glazing bar configuration to create a heritage design with more bars or an industrial/minimalist look with fewer bars. This flexibility ensures that the door fits seamlessly with any interior in a residential setting or helps create high-spec-looking commercial spaces.
Robust construction for expansive views
Constructed from the highest-grade aluminium, known for being strong yet lightweight, the OB-36+ supports large expanses of glass with ultra-slim sightlines of just 36mm, allowing natural light into the property and creating a seamless connection between interior and exterior spaces. Alongside its ability to create a durable and hard-wearing product, aluminium also creates a sleek silhouette that’s perfect for modern preferences.
Energy efficiency beyond standards
Engineered to meet the rigorous demands of the UK market, the Soho External Door achieves superior weather ratings and already complies with the 2025 Future Homes Standard. With U-Values as low as 1.0 W/m2K, the door ensures energy efficiency without compromising on performance. State-of-the-art weathertight seals further guarantee protection against the elements, ensuring rooms maintain comfortable interior temperatures in all weather conditions.
In summary
The Soho External Door is truly unmatched in all aspects, from product build quality and functionality to aesthetics and security. It represents a new era for fenestration, and with more product launches planned for 2024, Origin promises an exciting year.
