When it comes to choosing windows and doors for your home, there’s no rule that says you need to stick with one style or material. In fact, mixing and matching—known as a “mixed houselot”—can offer incredible flexibility and give you the freedom to get creative while tailoring your home to your specific needs.

In my own home, affectionately called The Maybe Forever, we decided to go with Stegbar’s windows and doors to balance functionality with that beautiful look we envisioned.

Living in a three-story house, energy efficiency was key, and different parts of the home needed unique solutions.

The Energy Game: North Meets South

On the northern side, where the summer sun can really turn up the heat, we chose Stegbar’s Enviraluxe awning windows with thermally broken frames. These windows offer fantastic energy performance, helping keep the interior cool and comfortable, which has made a huge difference in our energy savings.

On the southern side, where we’re less concerned with heat loss, we went with Stegbar’s Alumiere windows. These windows have double glazing and a bold frame that both look great and work efficiently, while also being more cost-effective.

Bringing Style Home with Timber

For the front and rear facades, we wanted a touch of that Bahamas-inspired charm. Stegbar’s Timberaul feature doors were the perfect choice. Timber does require a bit more maintenance than aluminum and comes at a higher price, but the warmth, natural beauty, and insulation properties are so worth it. It’s a small effort for the big impact it brings to the overall look of the home.

The Beauty of Mixing Materials

In our main living areas, like the kitchen, dining, and lounge, you’ll find a mix that really showcases how different styles can harmonize beautifully. We placed a Stegbar Alumiere Louvre window next to a Stegbar Timberaul stacking door, along with a Stegbar Enviraluxe awning window in the kitchen. This combination brings together varying textures, finishes, and glazing types, delivering both energy efficiency and a custom look that’s uniquely ours.

Craft Your Own Unique Combination

When planning your own space, consider how combining different products from Stegbar’s range of windows and doors can give your home the perfect mix of style and performance. With so many options, you can create something that not only looks amazing but also works perfectly for your lifestyle.
