Mr & Mrs Clarke

Located in West Sussex, Mr & Mrs Clarke wanted to preserve the traditional character of their property while upgrading their windows and doors. The homeowners were particularly keen on retaining the astragal bars on the new windows and doors to match the house's original design. The eyebrow windows do not have any astragal bars, to take advantage of the magnificent views they have of the countryside.

Mr & Mrs Clarke decided to have timber flush casement windows and doors installed throughout their charming property, all of which have been painted in 'calm grey' (RAL 9018).

Using engineered timber keeps the beautiful and tactile qualities of traditional wood but avoids the innate expansion and contraction issues that can occur from using solid wood.  Engineered (multi-layered) timber is created by layering wood sections, with the grain of one section being layered in the opposing direction to the grain of its neighbour.  Cleverly layering in this manner ensures any movement caused by absorption of moisture is evened out.

This leads to stronger, longer lasting windows and doors. Making sure they stay a perfect fit-just as the day they were installed.
