Slimline White Wood Effect Windows, Modernise Detached Family Home, Henley on Thames

Location: Henley on Thames

This elegant detached property in Henley on Thames has recently been transformed with slimline white wood-effect windows to improve its energy efficiency and enhance its aesthetic appeal.

This family home is nestled in a sought-after, idyllic tree-lined road in the beautiful village of Shiplake.

The Henley on Thames homeowners wanted to update their detached property, replace their existing uPVC leaded windows and doors, and invest in modern double-glazed uPVC windows. This home improvement project also includes new minimal-frame sliding doors to the rear and a new large Pirnar front door with sidelights to the entrance.

A neighbour recommended Thames Valley Windows to the Henley on Thames homeowners, where we had recently installed replacement double-glazed windows and doors.

Our designer, Chris, contacted the Henley on Thames homeowners to discuss their home renovation projects and recommended visiting our Bracknell showroom to view the extensive range of uPVC window styles and doors on display.

After visiting our Bracknell showroom to view the range of double-glazed wooden and timber-effect windows on display, the homeowners from Henley on Thames were attracted to the Evolution flush wood effect uPVC windows and doors.

They chose Evolution flush casement windows because of their clean and sleek minimalist design, traditional authentic timber-look joint, and deep cill, which meticulously replicate the appearance and proportions of a timber window. Distinguishing these window frames from a real timber window is nearly impossible, and they can comply with local authority regulations for conservation areas.

The Evolution Flush windows, with their innovative wood grain finish, have been developed based on authentic, traditional designs that combine traditional 19th-century beauty with 21st-century technology. They offer the newest advancement in uPVC windows while providing increased durability, low maintenance, and outstanding energy efficiency and thermal performance for modern homes and traditional properties.

The innovative woodgrain finish and handcrafted timber-look joints offer a cost-effective alternative to traditional wooden windows. They are the perfect choice for conservation projects and period properties that preserve the past’s aesthetics, look, and feel and maintain its architectural heritage.

In addition to standard colours, Evolution offers over 200 RAL colour options to replicate the appearance of hand-painted wooden windows. Various wood effect finish options, including woodgrains and textured foils, complement any brick or render colour and enhance timber-clad properties.

The end result is stunning. The sleek, flush, slimline white wood effect uPVC windows retain the traditional look the homeowners wanted while offering the modern benefits of durability, security, and exceptional thermal insulation uPVC window.

We designed, surveyed, and installed twenty-two double-glazed slimline white wood effect uPVC windows in various sizes to suit the property’s scale and proportions and one utility door, finished in gloss white, for a clean, fresh look.

They chose a contemporary white handle for the window furniture, offering a minimalist finish and a touch of style to the white wood effect uPVC windows. The multipoint locking system with shoot bolts provides increased security.

The modern slim sightlines allow natural light to flow into the Henley on Thames property and are thermally efficient.

However, the main feature in the living room is the large bay window, which creates a stunning focal point at the front of the property.

The Henley on Thames homeowners are delighted with their slimline white wood effect uPVC windows and doors and advise:

“We had a large number of windows and three doors which dated from different extension projects, which gave the house a disjointed and dated appearance. We are thrilled with the transformative impact of the new doors and windows, which have given the property a much more modern and coherent feel. Internally, we have much more natural light and superb garden vistas. All aspects of the service from Thames Valley Windows were superb; the design advice was excellent, the installation teams a pleasure to deal with, and the quality of after-sales service. Inevitably, a handful of snags were swiftly and fully corrected on such a large project. We chose Thames Valley Windows after having seen and heard about the quality of their work from several close neighbours, and we have no hesitation in repeating that endorsement.”

The homeowners also gave Thames Valley Windows the following 5-star Trustpilot review:
