Maintaining ARCHITECTURAL Integrity

When it comes to preserving the charm and character of heritage homes or adding authentic aesthetics to modern properties, every detail counts. The windows, in particular, play a crucial role in maintaining the architectural integrity of these properties and Mercury’s Alitherm 47 Heritage Windows offer a seamless blend of energy-efficiency technology and timeless appeal, making them the perfect choice for refurbishment projects and heritage buildings.

Here at Mercury, we understand that every property is unique, why is why we offer a range of styles that cater for both traditional and heritage preferences. Whether you want to preserve the vintage charm of your home or add a touch of timeless glamour, our Heritage 47 Windows has got you covered.

A PERFECT CHOICE FOR H E R I T A G E PROPERTIES

Heritage and listed properties hold a special place in our history, boasting unique architectural features that reflect the past. Often, the windows in these properties are a defining characteristic, with their slimline steel or timber frames and distinctive design. Replacing
these windows can be daunting, as it requires striking a balance between preserving the heritage importance of your home and
improving energy efficiency. This is where Mercury’s Alitherm Heritage 47 Aluminium Windows shine.

The Alitherm Heritage 47 Collection has been designed with heritage buildings in mind, offering a solution that seamlessly merges modern thermal performance with the aesthetics of traditional steel windows.

Manufactured from high-quality aluminium, these windows incorporate innovative polyamide thermal break technology and advanced glazing systems to ensure your home remains well- insulated and energy efficient.

In the past, replacing steel windows with modern alternatives often meant sacrificing energy efficiency for aesthetics. However, with the Alitherm Heritage 47 range, you can have both. These windows help reduce heat loss and energy consumption, ensuring your home remains comfortable and environmentally responsible.

RESILIENT TO THE ELEMENTS

Like all buildings, heritage properties face constant exposure to the elements, which over time can take a toll on the windows. Mercury’s Alitherm Heritage 47 windows are manufactured to withstand the harshest weather conditions, ensuring longevity and durability.

MEETING PLANNING CONSTRAINTS

For projects involving heritage or listed buildings, adhering to planning constraints is paramount. In many cases, planning authorities require that original steel/wooden windows are replaced with solutions that maintain the property’s historical appearance. Alitherm Heritage 47 windows have been purposely designed to sympathetically replicate the windows of yesterday ensuring your stay in compliance with planning regulations. And for peace of mind, our in-house team of experts are on hand to help guide you through the process.

WHEN TOMORROW MEETS TODAY

Whilst the timeless appeal of our Heritage 47 aluminium windows appeals to older properties, they still work perfectly in modern homes too where traditional aesthetics are required. Homeowners value the visual appeal of these windows whilst enjoying improved insulation and energy savings.

PERSONALISED OPTIONS

Our Heritage 47 windows are available in a wide range of colour options. From heritage hues to metallic and dual- colour options, there is a perfect shade to suit your taste and architectural character of your home.
