As the sun starts to linger a little longer and the air carries the scent of new beginnings, the “Spring Refresh” is moving from the wardrobe to the walls. With research showing that natural light can have a positive effect on mental and physical wellbeing, homeowners are increasingly looking for ways to flood their living spaces with sunshine.
The Residence Collection says installers can help homeowners embrace this seasonal shift through the Residence 9 (R9) collection, a system designed to combine heritage aesthetics with modern thermal performance.
Spring traditionally marks the start of the busiest season for home improvement. Beyond aesthetic appeal, incorporating the right windows can transform the feel of a home. The R9 system features a 100mm frame depth designed to replicate traditional timber styling while accommodating either 28mm or 44mm glazing units.
While the visual upgrade may be immediate, The Residence Collection also highlights the long-term energy-saving potential of replacing outdated windows. According to the company, detached homes could lose up to 25% of heat through inefficient glazing, potentially costing homeowners more than £600 per year.
The Residence 9 system features a nine-chamber design, an easy-clean foiled rebate and can achieve A++ energy ratings with U-values as low as 0.76 W/m²K when triple glazed. The company says the system allows homeowners to improve energy performance without compromising traditional property aesthetics.
For period properties and conservation-style projects, the R9 system is designed to replicate traditional timber windows while reducing ongoing maintenance requirements. The range is available in more than 21 colour options, while The Residence Collection also offers a Conservation & Listed Building Pack to support installers working with planning officers.
Traditional weatherbars, Georgian bars, the Radlington Cill and Regal hardware options are also available to support authentic heritage styling while maintaining modern energy efficiency and security performance.
The Residence Collection says the R9 system also features internal glazing bead security designed to prevent glass removal from outside the property.
Jo Trotman, Sales and Marketing Manager at The Residence Collection, commented: “Incorporating the R9 collection into a home doesn't just increase its ‘kerb appeal’; it invites the rejuvenating essence of spring indoors. By balancing heritage design with cutting-edge energy efficiency, you can help homeowners create spaces that feel as good as they look, while protecting them from unpredictable energy costs.”
