Mr & Mrs Gilbey

Mr. and Mrs. Gilbey purchased their home in 2019 and have since made several improvements, including replacing the white uPVC windows with timber cottage casement windows.

The new timber windows are painted in Farrow & Ball 'Bone' externally and white (RAL 9003) internally. The Farrow & Ball 'Bone' paint finish is a soft grey with a touch of green; this stony neutral is simply named after the colour of bones found in the animal kingdom.

The new windows also feature our 18 mm astragal bars and have polished brass pear drop handles and peg stays from Anvil installed. 

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.
