Completion comments from architect/builder/end client

The  client first came across Sightline at the Grand Designs Home Show at the NEC Birmingham. When asked why they chose Sightline the client commented:

“In comparison to other suppliers we were really impressed with Sightlines thinner profiles and in built drainage system .We are delighted with the end result  which has realised our concept of bringing the outside inside.

Even on a wet and overcast day the glazing system allows natural light to flood into every room creating an uplifting and positive ambience.

We would definitely recommend Sightline in fact we already have.
