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+.

The Residence Collection's attentive eye to detail in their window manufacturing ensures that homeowners can't even tell the difference between Residence windows and genuine wooden windows. Showcasing excellence in joinery and craftsmanship, along with their attentive designs, our timber alternative windows achieve an authentic replica charm.
If you require windows that replicate 19th Century Flush Sash timber windows, including hardware and handles, then the Residence 9 timber-look collection is ideal for you. With their bespoke design, they can even pass conservation area regulations. If you’re looking for a modern flush appearance, the Residence 7 collection is your ideal timber alternative window of choice. 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.
