Architectural cues we survey for on a new-build home
New-build homes were built 2010–present. In Knutsford they cluster around Georgian townhouse and Edwardian villa. On survey we look for:
- square uPVC casement openings, all to standard sizes
- shallow plaster reveals (60–75mm)
- bi-fold or French doors to the rear garden
- en-suite and utility rooms with small high-level windows
Openings we usually shutter on a new-build home
- standard uPVC casement pairs on the front
- large picture window to the lounge
- bi-fold doors 3–5 panels wide
- small en-suite obscure-glazed casement
Full-height single-tier panels; tracked panels on bi-folds is our starting point — adjusted for ceiling height, sash split and existing joinery on the day.

Survey traps on new-build homes — and how we handle them
Every new-build home we've quoted in Knutsford has thrown up one of these:
- shallow reveals (60–75mm) often need face-fix or a Z-frame extension
- trickle vents at the head must not be blocked
- bi-folds need a track solution — solid tracked panels, not hinged
- developer glazing is often thicker than expected — handles project further
That's why the survey is done in person — templated, not measured off a plan.

Property-fit proof
A specification shaped by Georgian townhouse openings

Common Questions
Frequently asked
My reveals are really shallow — will shutters still fit?
Yes — with a Z-frame extension or face-fix mount the shutter sits proud of the reveal without fouling the handle. We survey reveal depth before quoting. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Knutsford (WA16).
Will the trickle vents still work?
Yes — the frame is set below the trickle vent line and louvres open to allow airflow. We specify a lower frame head where necessary so ventilation is unaffected. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Knutsford (WA16).
Can you shutter my bi-fold doors?
Yes — tracked panels run on a top and bottom rail and stack to one side when the doors open. Panel count matches the door leaf count so nothing catches. We've fitted this exact spec on new-build homes across Knutsford (WA16).
