CASE STUDY: Accoya Wood Replacement Windows - Cheshire

First class Energy Efficiency and Aesthetic Appeal for this Delightful Farmhouse

This traditional farmhouse cottage in Cheshire’s windows was transformed to be super energy efficient.
 
We replaced all windows in Accoya Wood, which were double-glazed with energy-efficient Planitherm Low E Glass and Argon Gas fill.
 
The slender cottage window bars we created provide the character that the property deserves.
 
The Accoya wood frames are factory paint-finished and completed in-house at our GBS factory.
CASE STUDY: REPLICATION SASH WINDOWS AND DOOR - STOCKPORT

A Seamless Replication Achieved in this Conservation Area

This property, in a conservation area in Stockport, required GBS Joinery to replace its sash windows, replicating the original designs.

Our team crafted the sliding sash windows which we completed with double glazing to achieve the required energy efficiency standards.

The front entrance door was crafted following the original design and all windows and the entrance door were paint-finished at our GBS factory.

Achieving Home Comfort and Energy Efficiency as a Priority

CASE STUDY: REPLACEMENT WINDOWS WITH CHARACTER FINISH - STOCKPORT

Windows Reproduced with Character, Efficiency and Style

A standard replacement window was not on the agenda for this property.

The faces were fixed to the double glazed units by our in-house installation team, and the window frames were paint-finished at our GBS factory.

We paint-finished the windows in-house at our GBS factory, in *something* colour, to complete the modern and sophisticated finish the customer expected.

CASE STUDY: TRADITIONAL FLUSH CASEMENT WINDOWS - NORTHWICH, CHESHIRE

Keeping with Tradition for this Grade II former village Post Office

This traditional thatched Tudor cottage is seeped in history as a former village post office. As a Grade II listed property, it is understandable that it needed to keep up its appearance to complement the beautiful surrounding countryside of Cinderhill, Whitegate in Cheshire.

We crafted traditional-styled flush casement cottage bar windows in hardwood and double-glazed throughout all the windows.

The windows were paint-finished at our GBS factory and installed by our in-house installation team.
