A traditional red-brick new-build property nestled in the Sussex countryside has been constructed as a contemporary, mock Tudor-style home with the use of R9 Windows and French Doors in an English Oak colourway. The property features a half-timbered exterior, gables and jetty details, which all combine for a stand-out aesthetic.
Collaborating with installer, Provincial Windows, and fabricator, Window Tech Trade, Residence 9 windows and French doors in English Oak on Grained White were installed to replicate the traditional timber tudor-style look, whilst benefitting from features suited for modern living.
This project showcases numerous windows and French doors, complete with iron style pear drop Regal hardware, which were manufactured using the Timberweld jointing® technique; a welded method that creates a seamless butt-joint appearance both inside and out – offering the authentic look of timber with the added strength and durability of triple-glazing.
Flexibility was a key component for the overall project on this occasion, too. The homeowner chose a mix of fixed and opening styles, which offered both functionality and ventilation as required. In addition, a variety of glazing types were used to suit different needs around the property: 4:16:4:16:4 Lam Low E for thermal performance, satin obscure for privacy, leaded glass for character and clear glass to enjoy the light and views. Finally, the French doors which were installed, offer excellent flexibility for everyday use and inside-outside entertaining. Developer, Scandia Hus, selected Residence 9 windows due to their ability to achieve the required authentic 19th Century timber-style flush design, while also benefitting from modern day energy efficiency, security and quality features. Residence 9 windows excel not only visually, but also in their efficiency properties, boasting A++ energy ratings and achieving u-values of 0.74Wm2k with triple glazing. This collection is also available in 20 different standard colourways as well as a range of dual-colour options, making it the perfect match for a project like this.
Carl Robinson, Managing Director at Provincial Windows commented “We take real pride when installing The Residence Collection windows, as the results are always flawless and leave homeowners pleased with their properties. R9 in particular checks all the requirements for a project like this, and the homeowners were very pleased with the outcome.”
Jo Trotman, Marketing Manager at The Residence Collection added: “This project truly displays the authentic, innovative designs that our Residence 9 collection has, and the finished product is truly beautiful.
This collaboration with Scandia-hus, Provincial Windows and Window Tech Trade has been a huge success to showcase how effective the timber alternative is and we look forward to working on many more projects with them in the future, helping homeowners to achieve their building dreams.”
