The new timber Flush Casement Windows feature a single horizontal glazing bar, designed with 90 degree hinges to provide both emergency escape access and unobstructed views of the beautifully landscaped garden. The Flush French Doors, each with two horizontal bars, maintain design continuity with the window design while allowing light to flood into the home.

For the ironmongery, they had already chosen antique brass fittings for the kitchen and cabinetry, making Rumbled Brass the perfect match for their timber windows and doors. This finish seamlessly tied together the interior details and complemented the bronze windows. The addition of a Stay Bar on the Flush Casement Windows, paired with a traditional Bulb End Handle, enhanced the authenticity of the design.

For the internal finish they chose Signal White – RAL 9003, which matched the existing woodwork, originally painted in an Albany shade. Externally, they sought a colour that would enhance the natural stonework of the house with a warm feel. Working with Alex and testing various paint samples in different light conditions, they found Farrow & Ball No. 211 Stoney Ground, to be a beautifully soft, timeless shade that complements the home’s historic charm.

Louise & Kevin are especially impressed with the outstanding quality and finish of their Bereco timber windows and doors. After over four years post installation, they were initially concerned about how the south-facing rear of the house would handle prolonged sun exposure. However, the paintwork has remained flawless, showing no signs of blistering or wear. Looking back on their experience, Louise said: “the windows look as good as the day they were installed.”
