Window & French Door Replacement in Derbyshire

Replacing old timber windows and rear French doors with thermally efficient, low-maintenance PVCu replacements.

Project Overview

This very old property had traditional timber windows and doors that were no longer performing very well. All of the windows were replaced, along with the French doors at the rear of the property.

The Work

The existing timber windows and doors were replaced with the Residence 7 range, chosen to be in keeping with the existing appearance while providing much improved thermal efficiency and removing the maintenance requirement.

The customer chose a white grained finish on both sides, adding to the timber look they wanted to achieve.For the hardware, the customer selected Black Antique Monkey Tail hardware to complement the appearance of the property.

The Benefits of new Windows & Doors

The new Residence 7 windows and French doors provide much improved thermal efficiency compared with the previous timber windows and doors.

The UPVc construction also removes the maintenance requirement associated with the original timber windows and doors.

Overcoming the Challenge

The customer also had some rotting fascia below a window that they were unhappy with.

We replaced this fascia and made good any openings where the render was affected.

The Result

The property now has new Residence 7 windows and French doors, providing much improved thermal efficiency while removing the maintenance requirement associated with the previous timber windows and doors.

The white grained finish and Black Antique Monkey Tail hardware were chosen to achieve the look the customer wanted.
