Use of Premium Glass in 101 Display Homes
The Newport
One of the standout features in our Newport display home is the stacker doors. These expansive glass doors blur the lines between indoor and outdoor living, allowing natural light to flood the interior spaces.
The seamless transition they create is perfect for entertaining and enjoying the outdoors from the comfort of your home.
The high-quality glass used in these doors ensures clarity, durability, and excellent thermal performance, making your home comfortable year-round.
The Newport also features strategically placed highlight windows to the sunken loungeroom. These windows are designed to maximise natural light while maintaining privacy.
Placed above eye level, these highlight windows allow sunlight to filter through, brightening the rooms without compromising on privacy. This creates a beautiful interplay of light and shadow, enhancing the visual appeal of your living spaces.



The Nordic
In the Nordic display home, the staircase highlight window is a prime example of how glass can transform a space.
This window allows natural light to cascade down the staircase, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. It not only illuminates the stairwell but also adds a touch of elegance to the home’s interior design.
The use of high-quality glass here ensures that the window remains a stunning feature for years to come.
The Nordic’s exterior showcases the sophisticated use of glass in its elevation.
Large windows and glass doors are integrated into the design, giving the home a modern and open feel.
The use of high-quality glass in these elements not only enhances the home’s aesthetic appeal but also improves energy efficiency and security.
The sleek, transparent surfaces provide unobstructed views and a sense of openness that is hard to match.



The Capri
In the Capri display home, the kitchen showcases a distinctive window splashback. This innovative use of glass brings in natural light while serving a practical purpose.
The splashback window adds an unexpected design element that elevates the kitchen’s look, making it a bright and cheerful place to cook and gather. The durability and ease of cleaning provided by Glass Co Metro’s high-quality glass make it an excellent choice for this application.
Highlight windows above the stacker doors in the Capri home further enhance the living area by bringing in additional natural light. These windows create an airy and spacious feeling, making the room feel larger and more inviting.
The clarity and quality of the glass ensure that the light remains consistent and beautiful throughout the day.
