The whole collections square on and filling the frame, in the chiswick, casement and sash configuration, shot level in flat overcast light against a plain wall so the proportion and the frame-to-glass ratio can be read without perspective. Unit at 48 mm sightline, to 1400 x 2400 mm, Uw 1.2.

Close detail of the meeting line at eye level in raking light, tight enough that the joint and the seal are legible and the to 2500 x 4000 mm, Uw 1.0, minimum 5 degree fall sightline can be measured off the frame, with the background thrown out of focus.
1:1
The hand-level detail: collection-matched handle set photographed in use on the collection default ral finish, close enough to show the surface texture and the fixing, with a hand on the handle for scale.

From inside the room looking out through the collections, the unit open where it opens, late afternoon light on the floor, so the product is seen the way it is lived with rather than the way it is sold.

The collections at dusk from outside, closed, the room lit behind the glass, so the finish and the glass line read against the light.

Description
A collection fixes four decisions at once: frame, glass make-up, colour and hardware. Each is named after the London area whose housing stock it suits. Chiswick is casement and sash at a 48 mm sightline for Victorian terraces. Hampstead is slim-sliding at a 20 mm interlock, leaf to 3000 x 3200 mm, for rear extensions. Marylebone is steel-framed internal screens at 25 mm. Any element can be substituted up to survey, and most people substitute one. The specification is already written, so the quote is a price rather than a design exercise.
Specify it when
Use when the house type is conventional and you would rather make one specification decision than five.

More in details
Cross-section of a triple-glazed unit held vertically in a gloved hand against a bright window, sharp focus on the two black warm-edge spacers and the argon cavities, background thrown fully out.

Glass
Close-up at 45 degrees of a matt black lever handle and concealed hinge on a half-open aluminium door leaf, morning light raking across the finish, the five locking points visible along the open edge.
4:3
Hardware
Twenty powder-coated aluminium sample bars fanned across a dark studio surface with anodised bronze at the centre, lit square-on so the matt, satin and Sablé textures are distinguishable.
4:3
Colours
Two door corners set side by side on a white sweep — a 52 mm bi-fold sightline on the left, a 20 mm slim-sliding interlock on the right — with a steel rule laid across both for scale.
