The Aluminium Look. The uPVC Price.
Introducing the Residence 2 Collection: The ultimate "Aluminium Alternative" for modern and heritage homes.
Love the sleek, square architectural lines of aluminium but want better thermal performance and a more sensible investment? The R2 Collection is designed specifically to bridge the gap between high-end aesthetics and everyday practicality.
Why R2 is the Smart Choice
The Residence 2 (R2) system is a masterpiece of modern engineering. While traditional uPVC windows can look bulky, R2 features a bold, square interior and exterior detail that perfectly replicates the "Industrial" and "International" styles of premium aluminium systems.
- Slim Architectural Sightlines: Achieve that "narrow frame" look that maximizes the glass area and lets in more light.
- 9-Chamber Energy Efficiency: While aluminium is a natural conductor of cold, R2 is a natural insulator. It’s one of the few systems that can easily achieve a certified 0.7 U-Value (Triple Glazed).
- The "Squaring" of the Circle: Perfectly suited for both ultra-modern new builds and period property renovations where a clean, sharp finish is required.
Colors & Finishes
To truly mimic aluminium, the finish is everything. We offer the R2 collection in the most popular "Architectural" shades:
- Smooth Anthracite Grey: The classic "Aluminium" look.
- Matt Black: For that striking, industrial steel-frame aesthetic.
- Eclectic Grey: A softer, contemporary tone for heritage properties.
Stop compromising on your home’s appearance.
Most homeowners believe they have to choose between "Cheap uPVC" or "Expensive Aluminium." At Windows in the Lakes, we offer the third way. Our R2 installation provides the exact same visual impact as our aluminium ranges, but leaves you with a significantly healthier budget for the rest of your renovation.
