Patio Doors and Window Replacement For a Property in Glenfield, Leicestershire
Old patio doors and windows can make a property feel tired, both inside and out.
For this home in Glenfield, the existing glazed units were ready for an upgrade, and the homeowner wanted a smarter, more modern finish with better performance and a little more day-to-day convenience.
To help achieve that, we installed new aluminium patio doors and aluminium windows with integral blinds, giving the rear of the property a fresh new look while also improving insulation, security and usability.
Project Overview
The homeowner got in touch with Phair Windows, looking to replace the old patio doors and windows at the rear of the property.
The existing units had reached the end of their life and were no longer offering the level of thermal efficiency, security or appearance expected from a modern installation.
The aim was to create a smarter finish using aluminium frames, while also adding integral blinds for a neat, low-maintenance solution.
The Problem
The original windows and patio doors were old, inefficient and no longer suited the property.


They were allowing heat to escape, offered limited security compared to modern products, and the overall appearance of the rear of the home needed a major refresh.
The homeowner also wanted a solution that would be easy to live with day to day, without the need for separate blinds or extra upkeep.
The Process
Our team carefully removed the old patio doors and windows before preparing the openings for the new installation.
We then fitted:
- New aluminium patio doors.
- Two matching aluminium windows.
- Integral blinds built into the glazed units.
The integral blinds provide a clean, streamlined finish and are sealed inside the double-glazed unit, which means they stay dust-free and never need cleaning. They’re operated using a discreet magnetic slider, making them easy to adjust whenever privacy or light control is needed.
The new aluminium frames offer slim sightlines, a modern appearance and long-lasting performance, while the white finish helps keep the rear of the property feeling bright and open.


The Result
The finished installation has completely refreshed the back of the home.
The new patio doors and windows give the property a much more contemporary feel, while the integral blinds add privacy and convenience without the hassle of traditional blinds or curtains. The slimmer aluminium frames also help bring in more natural light, making the space feel brighter and more spacious.
As well as improving the appearance of the property, the new installation will also help with thermal performance, security and everyday comfort.
Customer Outcome
The homeowner now has a stylish, practical upgrade that works much better for everyday life.
The new aluminium patio doors and windows have completely refreshed the rear of the property, while the integral blinds add a modern finishing touch that keeps the space neat and low-maintenance. The end result is a smarter, brighter and more comfortable home.
