What gives R9 the edge over other timber effect windows?

Close up of R9 windows
Residence 9 is a familiar name in the window industry. Boasting a range of elegant flush sash designs, these windows are ideal for period properties, including cottages, farmhouses and townhouses.

There is a wide selection of timber effect windows available on the market, so what makes R9 special?

Timber effect windows designed with conservation guidelines in mind

Unlike other timber effect windows, R9 flush sashes acknowledge existing conservation guidelines. Rather than risking choosing windows that may or may not meet regulations, choosing R9 greatly increases the likelihood of windows being accepted for listed properties.

Key conservation principles followed include imitating the aesthetics of traditional sash windows, with working stays and monkey tail handles. Equally, traditional joinery methods are utilised – historical sizes are mirrored and glass sightlines are perfectly symmetrical.

Enhanced thermal efficiency

The feature that gives timber effect windows their thermal performance is multiple interior chambers. Many windows on the market use five or six, but R9 go further.

With a unique 9-chambered design (hence the name ‘R9), these timber effect windows can achieve Window Energy Ratings (WERs) of A+. This makes it far more likely for you to benefit from reduced heating bills and more pleasant living environments.

Enhanced authenticity with bespoke colour options

A product may be innovative internally, but a poor finish can seriously reduce the overall aesthetic. Fortunately, R9 timber effect windows are available in The Graduate Collection of colours, all of which have been designed to match specific architectural periods and personal tastes.

The choices include Cotswold Biscuit, ideal for period cottages, and Golden Oak, ideal for matching 17th century unpainted sashes.
