Ben Brocklesby, director at Origin, the manufacturer of aluminium windows and doors, discusses the brand’s luxury whole-home solution.

When we set out to design a new generation of products, we were inspired by the iconic and historic architecture of one of Manhattan’s chicest neighbourhoods – Soho.

Understanding homeowner desire for statement glazing, we sought to combine the aesthetics of the elegant steel-style look with the superior quality and performance that Origin’s aluminium products are synonymous with. Designed with the intention of offering an integrated and cohesive look, Origin’s Soho products sit alongside one another and offer a truly harmonious ‘wow’ factor.

The Soho External Door

Our first launch was the Soho external door (OB-36+). This sleek bi-fold, French and single door system offers unparalleled functionality and performance. Featuring sought-after steel-style bars, the true divides can be customised to create both a heritage and industrial/ minimalist look.

The Soho Window

The latest launch is our new Soho window (OW-70). Available in casement and fixed frame styles, the Soho window is meticulously crafted to combine the sought-after steel-style aesthetic with superior thermal performance, which surpasses the performance of traditional steel windows as well as building regulation requirements.

The Internal Door

To bring the cohesive feel inside the home, we created the Origin internal door (OI-30). Available in single or French configurations, it can be coupled with a corner post or fixed screens to create entirely new rooms without hampering the amount of natural light flowing through the property. Homeowners can also choose as many horizontal and/ or vertical glazing bars as they wish, allowing them to craft either a heritage or modern aesthetic.

The Soho Collection also benefits from an exceptional finish thanks to our Qualicoat accredited in-house powder coating facility. Here, we use an industry-leading 10-stage pre-treatment cleaning process to ensure the aluminium’s surface is flawless and free of any imperfections before applying the chosen colour and finish.

As it’s primed and receptive to receive the most flawless finish, it’s a difference that can be seen and felt. With over 150 RAL colours to choose from, including textured and dual-coloured options, there’s an option for every project.

Our products are synonymous with quality, and the Soho Collection is no different. The collection is engineered from the highest-grade aluminium, boasting ultra-slim sightlines and large expanses of glass for a sleek and sophisticated appearance. Plus, all Soho products are backed by our guarantee of up to 20 years.

Not only does the Soho Collection look fantastic, but it’s designed to meet the rigorous demands of the UK market. The Soho external door achieves U-Values as low as 0.78 W/m2K whilst the Soho window is 1.4 W/m2K – both exceeding building regulations. Superior weathertight seals further guarantee properties are protected against the elements and

maintain comfortable interior temperatures all year-round. For the homeowner, this will keep household bills low and, for Origin partners, serves as a unique selling point when discussing projects.

As with all of Origin’s external products, security is an inherent part of the design. The Soho external door and window make use of multi-point locks and also comply to PAS:24.

As wells as security, safety is critical, especially for families with young children. The Soho external door features finger-safe gaskets to prevent fingers from getting trapped when the doors are closing.

With the addition of the newly launched Soho Window, Origin trade partners can offer a complete, architecturally striking solution for homeowners.

With exclusive complementary hardware, all products in the Soho Collection will offer a seamless and cohesive look.
