Timber Windows installed in Chester

Alternative Timber Windows, Chester

The custodians of this Edwardian residence in Chester wanted to replace their timber windows due to the ongoing maintenance costs and the lack of energy efficiency associated with single-glazed units.

As the style of the windows and doors is an integral part of the property's look and charm, choosing a suitable replacement was essential. Having seen how modern UPVC windows look, it was clear that a modern UPVC window was not an option. 

After visiting our showroom and looking at various window options, including timber and our specialist range of timber-alternative UPVC windows, our clients were surprised by how authentic our UPVC timber-alternative windows from Evolution looked.

The Evolution windows and door range has been specifically developed for this type of property, with many features designed into the window to imitate the look of timber without the need for the regular re-painting required by timber windows. Some of the standout features on these windows include traditional butt joints, astragal glazing bars, black wood-grain frame with white wood-grain casements, slimline frame to match timber, cast iron monkey tail handles, and peg stays.

An orangery has been added to the rear of the property, designed to blend in with the original brick building's style. Matching brickwork and windows have blended this addition seamlessly with the property. A feature skylight has been installed to flood the rear of the property with natural light. It has been given a traditional look with ornate glazing bars, completing this project perfectly.
