Rob McGlennon of style and standard setting systems company, Deceuninck UK, says the latest generation of windows and doors can transform your home.

Year in year out, Britain’s most desirable homes are featured in Sunday supplements, How to Spend It and home improvement magazines. The Week features a double page spread of the top ten from all parts of the country, in different styles, price brackets, size and age of property. We can’t get enough of them. And one of the most striking features of these homes – what makes them look good and adds to their value – are their windows and doors.

It’s an eternal truth and no mere headline: beautiful windows make beautiful homes.

Homeowners have always taken great pride in their front doors too. They make a statement about the home and its owners for visitors to see.

Yes, windows are functional – their job to let light and ventilation into the home and keep warmth in, and the weather, burglars, and unwanted noise out. But such essentials do not make hearts beat faster! What delights and creates pride and passion and adds hugely to the value of a homeowner’s biggest asset are the aesthetics. Whether it’s a sleek sliding patio door to add light and open up a room, a vibrant front door to make a strong first impression or a traditional-style window to complement an older property, the right windows and doors have the power to transform the home. This is equally obvious when we see the opposite. We can all recall seeing inappropriate, ugly replacement windows and doors that look wrong for a property and cut thousands off its value.

That’s why the latest generation of windows and doors have generated considerable excitement in the market. This new generation ticks all the functional boxes, and more for energy efficiency, weather, and security performance and adds exceptional aesthetics with beautiful lines and colour.

Deceuninck is a leading window and door systems company, supplying the profiles and 

components to window and door manufacturers to make products that are engineered for beautiful, high-end looks and long-lasting performance. Manufacturers and installers say we’re the pioneers of ‘pretty windows’ because our products are designed to please the eye with perfect symmetry and balanced sightlines. Our Heritage Flush Window, one of the new generation of windows that generated all the excitement, replicates the flush, slim sightlines of traditional timber windows and quickly became a best-seller. It enhances all types of houses, from country cottages to modern townhouses and everything in between. Blending seamlessly with the property aesthetic, Deceuninck’s Flush Window has slim, balanced sightlines and sits seamlessly flush within the outer frame. It looks immediately different from the standard ‘storm’ windows which sit proud of the frame.

There’s a matching flush door to complete the look of course because if you’ve invested in beautiful windows, you’ll want a beautiful door to match. Deceuninck’s Heritage Flush Door is a slimline French door which offers the same traditional looks with top energy efficiency and the best weather performance to keep the
