At Abbey Windows, our most recent installation was transforming a large, traditional heritage property using Residence 9 windows whilst maintaining its heritage charm.
The Challenge
The homeowners of this expansive, heritage property in Reading were looking to replace their aging windows. They required a solution that would provide them with modern thermal performance and security without compromising the unique architectural character of their home.
With 30 windows to replace, the new window system needed to look authentic from the outside whilst keeping the interior bright and neutral.
The Solution: Residence 9 Irish Oak
To achieve the desired look, our highly skilled installation team installed the prestigious Residence 9 collection. Known for its authentic 19th century timber aesthetics, Residence 9 is a premier choice for period homeowners.
Dual Colour Finish
External: The finish of the windows were chosen to be Irish Oak woodgrain which perfectly complemented the red brickwork and traditional clay roof tiles of the Reading property, giving the appearance of hand-crafted timber.
Internal: A clean, white finish was chosen for the interior to ensure each room felt bright, airy and versatile for any décor style.
The Result
The installation of 30 flush Residence 9 windows completely revitalised the heritage property. By utilising the R9 system, the Reading homeowners can now benefit from:
- Superior Energy Efficiency: Achieving high thermal ratings that far outperform the original windows (A++ energy ratings).
- Low Maintenance: Unlike real wood, the R9 windows will never require additional maintenance thanks to their weather bars.
- Heritage Authenticity: The flush exterior and traditional sightlines ensure the period home retains its timeless elegance.
The final result is a stunning, cohesive look that honours the property’s history while providing 21st Century comfort.
