Replacing windows on a Listed building

On the outskirts of a Surrey town, the late 1800s Arts & Crafts cottage of Mr and Mrs Parks proudly displays its new flush casement windows.

With a Grade II Listed status, based on being an important example of work by a prominent architect and its location, the property is strictly guarded,

“Planning and conservation rules are very strictly applied to this house; we had to get permission to put a shed in the garden”

Mr Parks explains.

“Previously the cottage had single glazed casement windows, likely the originals, however they were no longer fit for purpose, as they were ill-fitting and falling apart.”

Ultra slim double glazed windows

The conditions of changing the windows, as outlined by Mr Parks, were clearly set out,

“the planning officers would allow double glazing, but only if it was very narrow and looked like single glazing. We were very impressed with the Timber Windows option for ultra-slim double-glazed units, as they satisfied the aesthetic requirements perfectly.”

The cottage style flush casements chosen here, feature authentic true bars and putty finishing along with the all-important ultra-slim units, and Monkeytail handles.

Happy customers returning to Timber Windows

“We had purchased products from Timber Windows for our previous home, so we had the assurance of past experience.”

“The house is in a busy spot, and it’s therefore impossible in a house like this to eliminate all outside noise, while preserving its heritage, however we have noticed a drastic improvement on the noise insulation versus the old windows.”
