Project Overview

A modern detached house in Stanmore had original uPVC windows that were fading, warping, and letting in draughts. The owners wanted to upgrade to a more durable, stylish, and energy-efficient solution while adding traditional character to the property. The goal was to install aluminium windows with Georgian cross bars and top-opening functionality in white to blend contemporary performance with classic aesthetics.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed bespoke white aluminium windows featuring Georgian bars and top-opening operation. The solution included:

  • Slim-profile aluminium frames in white (RAL 9010) for a clean, classic look
  • Georgian cross bars (internal glazing bars) to create traditional multi-pane appearance
  • Top-opening casement windows for safe, weather-resistant ventilation
  • Thermally broken profiles to prevent heat loss and condensation
  • Double-glazed units with low-E coating and argon gas fill
  • Multi-point locking mechanisms with high-security handles
  • Matching white sills and trims for a seamless finish
  • Concealed friction hinges for clean external lines

Installation Process

  • Carried out full site survey with laser measurements of all openings
  • Removed existing uPVC windows carefully to preserve brickwork and internal plaster
  • Disposed of all old frames and glass responsibly
  • Checked and prepared lintels, reveals, and sills
  • Lifted white aluminium frames into position using precision packers
  • Mechanically fixed frames to the structure ensuring zero movement
  • Spray-foamed all perimeter gaps and applied internal/external silicone seals
  • Fitted Georgian cross bars into the double-glazed units
  • Installed sealed units into each frame with top-opening hinges
  • Adjusted all top-opening mechanisms and friction hinges for smooth operation
  • Tested all locks and handles for secure closing
  • Completed thorough clean of glass, frames, Georgian bars, and surrounding areas
