Stellar Aluminium frames add drama to unique glamping pod

Stellar Aluminium frames and doors manufactured and installed by GD Windows have brought drama to The Tri-Pod, one of three glamorous pods situated on a working farm in Pantcefn near Llanarth in Mid Wales.

Gwyn Davies, Director at GD Windows said: “The Tri-Pod allowed us to show off the versatility and style of Stellar Aluminium. The slim frames maximise the light in the space and put all the focus on the spectacular countryside views.”

The Tri-Pod features full height Stellar Aluminium frames and a set of Fully Flush French Doors to the front aspect. The products were manufactured in black on both sides to complement the black external cladding, while the fully flush finish delivers a sleek contemporary style.

Every element of The Tri-Pod was carefully considered to create a luxurious retreat. Gwyn said: “The owners of The Tri-Pod knew every fixture and fitting needed to be high-quality to deliver the ultimate holiday experience. Stellar Aluminium was integral to creating this feeling.”

Stellar Aluminium’s renowned thermal efficiency was also an important part of the project. The system is Part L-compliant by design, even in new build projects, helping to ensure The Tri-Pod is cosy inside on even the coldest of days. It achieves the impressive thermal efficiency thanks to the patented reverse butt joint, which means there’s no need for dummy sashes, reverse profiles or adaptors, thereby reducing the amount of frame and increasing the thermal efficiency.

Phil Parry, Technical Director at Epwin Window Systems, commented: “Stellar Aluminium continues to demonstrate why it is a market leader in product innovation and design. The Tri-Pod project highlights how our system not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also delivers outstanding thermal performance. We are delighted to see GD Windows utilising Stellar to its full potential.”

GD Windows is based in Aberporth in Ceredigion and has over 30 years’ experience in the industry. As a trusted and longstanding fabricator of Stellar Aluminium, the company is proud to work with designers, architects and builders to deliver bespoke solutions for new builds and renovation projects. Gwyn concluded: “Stellar Aluminium is opening up a wealth of opportunities for us, enabling us to deliver impressive projects such as The Tri-Pod that leave a lasting impression.”
