If you own a country cottage, sooner or later time and the weather will inevitably take their toll on the original wooden windows.
At this point you may wonder if the best solution is to opt for expensive wooden replacement windows that need careful regular maintenance, but beautifully replicate the appearance of real 19th century wooden cottage windows?
Or should you consider wood-effect uPVC windows with the authentic look of traditional timber windows, together with the added benefits of class-leading weatherproofing and thermal insulation?
Your first consideration will probably be having replacement windows with traditional aesthetics that suit the style and character of your property.
To this end Residence timber-effect cottage-style uPVC windows are created with the same exemplary degree of craftsmanship that went into the traditional timber cottage windows of the past.
Residence designs copy elegant historic conservation guidelines married with a warmly welcoming wood grain effect finish that beautifully maintains the character, appearance and feel of the period.
Your country cottage may be in a conservation area, where planning laws affect window installations.
The good news is that Residence Collection windows are approved in many areas for their authentic design, combining traditional aesthetics with modern security, performance, and maintenance features.
A key feature of authentic wooden windows is the butt joint at the frame corners, unlike uPVC windows that are welded. Residence windows use patented Timberweld technology to replicate this genuine timber look.
Designed for durability and energy efficiency, Residence cottage-style uPVC windows have U-values as low as 1.2, helping maintain temperature and reduce energy usage. They also offer concealed trickle vents for proper ventilation and moisture control.
Residence 9 joints are butted together to perfectly replicate an authentic wood effect manufacturing technique, giving your windows and doors the traditional timber appearance R9 is famous for.
With a comprehensive colour palette and a choice of decorative options, Residence 9 allows you to create a genuinely personalised design statement for your home.
Our choice of hardware designs will further complement your look, whether your style is contemporary or period. Further options include Georgian bars and a weatherbar/mullion stiffener, both of which can be added to replicate existing windows or add new character to your home.
