We don’t install windows but, just like staircases, they’re a design feature which has a big impact on the property. On our Nationwide travels we’ve seen some excellent examples of feature windows which make a statement in the home. All the photographs in this article feature staircases installed by Abbott-Wade.

In this article, we’re showcasing a collection of breathtaking feature windows from our customers’ homes, each telling its own story of style and innovation. From expansive floor-to-ceiling glass walls framing picturesque landscapes to intricately designed statement windows that add artistic flair, these photos demonstrate how the right window can elevate a space.
