A recent project saw The Residence Collection, a premium window and door designer, transform Simcoe’s Farm, a stunning original timber property using the Residence 9 timber-alternative window and door system.
In collaboration with installer and fabricator, this farm building was transformed with 25 R9 windows and a set of R9 French doors, creating the perfect timber-to-timber-alternative renovation story while maintaining that traditional timber aesthetic.
The Residence 9 range provides an elegant, heritage 19th-century style aesthetic perfect for all properties, as it provides the beauty of wooden windows with the benefit of modern engineering.
The property features two Residence 9 sash windows in the colour Painswick on the exterior and Chalk White on the interior, completed with gold Pear drop handles.
For this renovation, all products were mechanically jointed and fitted with a 28mm glazing units, combining authentic timber-style aesthetics with the performance and low-maintenance benefits of modern pvc-u.
The Residence Collection was chosen as the homeowner originally wanted someone to repair their broken timber windows; however, when the repairman arrived, the windows were unfortunately too far gone. Shirestone Windows showed them Residence 9 and provided them with a window sample, which led to them moving forwards with The Residence Collection.
Robbie Stone, Managing Director at Shirestone Windows Ltd said, “It's fantastic to see this beautiful heritage property restored to its former glory. Choosing Residence 9 windows means the aesthetic of the property has remained, while the homeowner can benefit from the performance of a modern window system. We’ve enjoyed working with The Residence Collection on this project, and hope to do so again in the future.”
Jo Trotman, Sales and Marketing Manager at The Residence Collection comments, “We were honoured to be chosen to help restore the timber aesthetic using our Residence 9 products. It is always amazing to see our timber-alternative windows and doors keeping the heritage, 19th-century aesthetic going on projects that need renovating.”
