Mr & Mrs Croker

Located in the historic city of Winchester, Mr and Mrs Croker wanted to replace the original windows in their 1909 property with like-for-like designs to preserve its period charm.

“It was essential to replace the windows like for like, so far as possible to retain the original character of the building. We visited the Winchester showroom and had a good look at the samples on show as the quality was the most important thing,” explained Mr Croker.

The new windows have been finished in Farrow & Ball ‘House White’ both inside and out. This clean off-white shade, with its subtle green undertone, offers an almost citrus freshness that brightens the home while maintaining its timeless character.

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.
