A drone film over a converted brick barn range near Cartmel — opening high above the courtyard and fields, then tracking slowly along the elevation past two aluminium French door sets, arched-head timber-look uPVC windows and planted stone terraces.
Why this system exists
01
Flush casements, vertical sliding sashes and mechanically jointed frames that read correctly on a traditional elevation.
02
R7, R9 and R2 designer frames in painted and woodgrain finishes, including heritage cream, chartwell green and slate.
03
The appearance of timber with none of the seasonal maintenance, in a climate that punishes softwood joinery.
04
Multi-chamber profiles and warm-edge spacers keep older, exposed properties comfortable through Cumbrian winters.
Residence 9 is a window and door system designed to authentically replicate 19th century timber joinery. A flush exterior with a decorative moulded interior, mechanically jointed corners and true sightlines mean it reads as painted joinery from the garden and from the room.
Its nine-chamber, 100mm profile carries A+ energy ratings with double or triple glazing, and 23 standard colourways cover the heritage palette — clotted cream, chartwell green, painted white, grained slate and dual colour combinations inside and out.
Where the brief is quieter and more contemporary, Residence 7 is beautifully flush on both faces with clean, uninterrupted lines. A seven-chamber 75mm profile delivers strong thermal and acoustic performance, and the range covers casements, shaped and bay windows, single and French doors.
Jointing can be specified to suit the elevation — a traditional mechanical joint for maximum timber authenticity, or a Timberweld and welded option where a seamless modern finish is preferred.
Residence 2 pairs a flush sash exterior with a square-cut internal shape and perfectly equal glass sightlines throughout. It is the architectural end of the collection: bold, symmetrical and quietly modern.
Triple glazed it reaches U-values of 0.79 W/m²K, Passivhaus territory, with an A++ window energy rating — a genuine option where an aluminium look is wanted at a different budget or thermal position.
Open-out flush, open-in and engineered doors complete the elevation, using the same glazing bead so window and door sightlines line up. Regal hardware, monkey-tail and astragal handles, Georgian bars, sidelights and low thresholds are all specified at survey rather than left to the factory.
Planning officers across the Lake District National Park increasingly accept high-quality timber-alternative systems where the profile, jointing and glazing detail are correct. We specify accordingly, and we can supply drawings and product data to support an application.
Where an aluminium aesthetic is wanted at a different budget position, aluminium-look uPVC delivers slim, flat, contemporary frames in anthracite and black. It is a considered alternative, not a compromise, and we will tell you honestly when it is the better route.

Considered detailing is what separates a fitted window from a finished one.
