Timber-Look uPVC Windows (R7 & R9)
The Gold Standard of Heritage Glazing
Authentic Design. Modern Performance. Zero Maintenance.
The Residence Collection is the UK’s most prestigious window system, designed specifically to replicate the 19th-century timber flush sash. Whether you live in a protected conservation area or a contemporary country home, the R7 and R9 systems provide the soulful aesthetic of wood with the "A++" energy efficiency and security of modern composite technology. At Windows in the Dales, we specialize in helping homeowners upgrade their comfort without losing their property’s historic character.
Choosing Your System: R7 vs. R9
We offer two distinct tiers of the Residence Collection to suit your specific architectural needs:
- Residence 7 (The Versatile All-Rounder): Flush inside and out with a sophisticated 7-chamber design. R7 is the modern masterpiece, offering a clean, minimalist look that works perfectly in both traditional cottages and sleek new builds. It’s the refined choice for those who want the "flush" aesthetic with a versatile, contemporary edge.
- Residence 9 (The Conservation Specialist): The ultimate timber replica. With a massive 9-chamber design and authentic 19th-century detailing (including traditional butt hinges and deep timber-like cills), R9 is the only system widely accepted by planning authorities in Article 4 conservation areas. It is thicker, heavier, and provides the highest level of acoustic and thermal insulation available.
Engineered for the Elements
Why settle for standard when you can have the best?
Both R7 and R9 are built to withstand the harshest Yorkshire and Cumbrian weather. Unlike timber, these frames will never warp, rot, or require painting.
- Traditional Craftsmanship: Every window features mechanical joints that mimic traditional joinery for a truly authentic finish.
- A World of Colour: Choose from heritage shades like Grained White, Clotted Cream, and Painswick, or bold architectural tones like No. 10 Black.
- The Authority Installation: We don't just "fit" windows; we provide a full heritage survey to ensure your new glazing enhances your home’s value and meets all local regulations.
