Silvelox: the importance of exterior design

lucia | Exterior Design | Friday, 20 June 2008

Silvelox has created over the last 45 years collections of garage doors, entrance doors and double leaf doors combining passions for wood, research and innovation. Collections as personalised and detailed as fine carpentry, characterised by the perfect integration of security and technology.

TImber Garage Doors - Silvelox

Thanks to their devotion to quality, security and design,  in pursuit of perfection, Silvelox products have become well established and highly in demand for prestigious properties all over Europe.

Jason Plato choose Silvelox for his homeFor these reasons many VIPS have chosen Silvelox doors for their houses. Jason Plato, a major figure of the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC), says: “I’m a perfectionist, and the devil is in the detail – be that the instrumentation on a 200mph sports car or the precise location of a painting on a wall. Basically, I just love being around great design”.

So, as soon as he saw the Silvelox stand in an exhibition, his choice was made. “I’ve got a keen eye for good engineering and nice design, and Silvelox doors ticked all the boxes. They’re beautifully made, look fantastic and operate phenomenally well. Even from the inside of the garage, whether the doors are open or closed, they’re aesthetically pleasing.

Wooden Garage Doors, processing detail - SilveloxAs many builders and architects point out, there is a tendency now to spend much time and thought on the exterior look of the property, and Silvelox is always exploring new and exciting ways that its products can be used to radically redefine the boundaries of exterior design. The new W_concept platform is a fine example of this.

Developed by Silvelox’ Research & Development team, in association with award-winning Milan architects Buratti+Battiston, W_Concept involves cladding an area of the exterior in solid wood, then incorporating the garage door and main entrance door seamlessly into the design.
