Wood effect uPVC windows provide innovative thermal performance
It doesn’t matter whether your property is old or new, as we have timber alternative collections suited to both property styles: Residence 9 (R9) and Residence 7 (R7). R9’s 100mm wide frames are unique in that they house 9 chambers, instead of the 3-5 chambers that are typically found on uPVC windows. Whereas, R7’s sleek 75mm frames exclusively boast 7 thermally efficient chambers.
The versatility of R7 timber style collections means they can accommodate our three double glazing glass options, including Planitherm Comfort Plus glass, reaching impressively low U-values and Window Energy Ratings of up to A+.

Both window styles can be further enhanced with traditional Georgian Bars, original weather-bars and mullions, deep proportioned sills and authentic hardware, such as Monkey Tail and Pear/Tear Drop handles.
