PARKdesigned Team Visit to FESTA System Showroom: Exploring Innovative Door Systems and Oriel Windows for Commercial Architecture
As part of our commitment to stay at the forefront of architectural innovations, the PARKdesigned team recently visited the FESTA System showroom in Huddersfield. Known for their cutting-edge aluminium door systems and bespoke glazing solutions, FESTA System offers exciting possibilities for architects seeking modern, functional, and highly customisable products. As Leeds-based commercial architects, we strive to enhance our understanding of the latest materials and technologies, ensuring our designs add long-term value to our clients’ projects.
Our visit to FESTA System provided valuable insights, particularly into their sophisticated door systems and oriel windows—two elements that can significantly elevate commercial and residential spaces.
A Close Look at FESTA System's Door Innovations
One of the standout offerings at FESTA System is their range of premium aluminium entrance doors. These systems are built with precision engineering and offer numerous customisation options, which is ideal for the diverse needs of commercial architecture. FESTA’s entrance doors are notable for their strength, durability, and energy efficiency—qualities essential in large-scale projects where longevity and sustainability are top priorities.
FESTA doors are constructed with a robust 90mm-wide leaf that provides enhanced structural integrity and thermal insulation. This detail is especially valuable in Leeds, where commercial architects are often faced with creating energy-efficient solutions suited to the UK's varied climate. With the added benefit of multi-point stainless steel RC 2 security locks, these doors deliver both high security and reliability, making them suitable for high-traffic commercial spaces, such as offices, retail outlets, and public buildings.
Another impressive feature of FESTA’s systems is their focus on customisable aesthetics. With an array of colours, finishes, glazing options, and hardware choices, architects have the freedom to match these doors seamlessly to the character of each project. For PARKdesigned, this flexibility aligns with our ethos of combining quality design with commercial functionality to create spaces that are visually compelling yet practical.
Exploring Oriel Windows: Adding Dimension and Light to Modern Designs
While FESTA System primarily specialises in aluminium door solutions, their expertise extends to custom structural glazing that offers architectural versatility. During our visit, we discussed the potential of integrating oriel windows into contemporary designs—a feature becoming increasingly popular in commercial and residential architecture for its ability to add space, dimension, and natural light.
Oriel windows, which project outward from the building facade, are an excellent choice for creating focal points, providing expansive views, and maximising daylight—all important considerations in the designs crafted by Leeds commercial architects. While not part of FESTA’s standard offerings, the company's willingness to explore bespoke glazing solutions suggests the possibility of incorporating oriel windows in customized projects. At PARKdesigned, we recognize the added value that features like oriel windows can bring, both functionally and aesthetically, and look forward to incorporating these elements into future builds.
How Innovative Door Systems and Glazing Solutions Add Value to Commercial Architecture in Leeds
In commercial architecture, creating spaces that are secure, energy-efficient, and visually appealing is key to providing long-term value to our clients.

The flexibility, durability, and aesthetic quality of these products align well with our approach to delivering spaces that meet our clients’ needs today and continue to provide value well into the future.
