We had the great opportunity of working on a two-stage project for a customer in the Cotswolds recently, who was in the process of renovating the whole of her historic stone property. Initially, we were chosen to install windows to the outside of the cottage in-keeping with its traditional character.

We have a lot of experience in working to maintain the original appearance of a period property, whilst improving functionality with modern glass options. We therefore opted to design and fit new flush casement windows, complete with high quality timber frames, and hand crafted cottage-style timber glazing bars. Not only would this provide superior durability, insulation and security, but give the new windows a period feel essential to match the appearance of the customer’s property and the local surroundings. We painted the window frames in Farrow & Ball’s White Tie, an off-white colour for a fresher and updated look.

The customer was so happy with the standard of her bespoke windows, that she also asked us to complete her newly-built extension at the back of her property, fitting new windows, doors and a roof. The oak-framed extension needed glazed windows to complement it, so we used high quality European stained oak for all window and door frames. We only use sustainable, exceptional quality woods such as oak for our windows and conservatories, so that we can offer environmentally friendly, luxury solutions that our customers can appreciate for years and years.

The Rural Timbers team also installed a lantern roof to allow more light in and give height to the property, glazed for higher-level insulation and performance. Our customer was very pleased with the overall look, finding that her windows and doors are the perfect addition to her renovated cottage!
