NZ Farm Source | UNO Windows & Doors

New Farm Source hubs throughout the North Island

New local hubs were built to make farming support and supplies from Farm Source more readily available across the North Island. A distinct design style was needed to create a recognisable, functional retail space where farmers could come for rural supplies and technical advice. The client was after a consistent look throughout all of their stores so keeping the windows & doors the same in each building was paramount for these projects.

Requirements

Durable and quality windows and doors suitable for a commercial setting
Consistency across all retail spaces

Recognisable and functional retail spaces

UNO worked with Livingstone Building on the Farm Source projects over 2-3 years, with each of the nine buildings reaching completion throughout 2020 and 2021. Each project includes shopfront windows and an auto door entrance as well as internal bifolds and office areas.

The bifolds allow the space to be multiple sizes giving the stores flexibility depending on the size of the meeting room required. Also, a flush sill means there is no step from the shop floor through to the boardroom area.

Consistency was key for these projects, ensuring the same look was upheld across all of the new Farm Source stores.

Window & door units

UNO supplied over 60 window and door units for this commercial building, with a range of aluminium fixed windows, shopfront windows, auto doors, and bifold doors.

Duralloy powdercoat

Matt Black was the selected powdercoat finish for this project. The matt finish is more scratch resistant and easier to care for.

Double & single glazing

Speciality structural double glazing was used for external windows and doors to ensure durability in this commercial setting and single glazing glass was used for interior meeting and office spaces.

Commercial suite

The commercial suite was used on this project. This is designed for larger architectural and commercial applications and is suitable in demanding environments.

Internal sliding doors

Single glazed sliding doors are great for commercial office rooms creating private spaces for consults and focused work but still allowing natural light to flood in.

Automatic doors

Automatic doors were used on this project as they provide easy, hands-free access for people in and out of the building entrance.

Internal bifold doors

Bifold doors were used internally to create flexibility around how the space was used. Areas can be freely closed off or opened up without wasting space or blocking light.
