White uPVC Georgian Windows and Slate Grey Composite Front Door, Semi Detached Property, Sandhurst in Berkshire

Location: Sandhurst

The owners of this lovely semi-detached property in Sandhurst in Berkshire chose White Halo uPVC Georgian Windows from the Rustique Royale Range and a Traditional Apeer 70 APM2 Rowton Slate grey composite front door to improve the façade and kerb appeal of their home.

The semi-detached property is in a quiet cul-de-sac within the sought-after Heath Park development.

The Sandhurst homeowners are existing customers of Thames Valley Windows, and as an independent family business, we value customer retention. It has been ten years since our clients purchased uPVC double-glazed windows from us at their family home.

They had received our annual Christmas card with their exclusive 40% discount voucher, so they were keen to get a quote for our Essentials low-cost UPVC range to improve the thermal efficiency of their rental property in Sandhurst.

Our designer, Chris, contacted the Sandhurst homeowners to discuss their windows and door requirements and budget and recommended visiting our Bracknell showroom to view the extensive range of composite doors and uPVC window styles on display.

They were drawn toward the double-glazed Rustique Royale Range windows displayed at the showroom. The Sandhurst homeowners were impressed with the superb slim sightline, timber-look appearance, sculptured ‘ovolo’ edge, and energy efficiency.

The Sandhurst homeowners confirmed their order to replace all their existing windows and French doors with Halo Rustique Royale Range, finished in white with Scotia beading on the windows and white handles. This will give each window of this Sandhurst property a clean, minimalist aesthetic. For the bathroom window, they chose opal glass as it offers excellent light transmission and a high level of privacy while adding a contemporary look to the room.

For the double-glazed windows at the front of the house, the homeowners chose white astral bars to create the classic and most popular six-pane Georgian windows, which have a timeless, traditional look.

Halo Rustique Royale Range is manufactured using the latest advancements in uPVC technology in Huddersfield, UK. Inspired by traditional joinery, every window frame is designed with the same 70mm depth as a traditional timber window.

The system is multi-chambered across the frame and sash, with various reinforcement options and thermal inserts for advanced performance, security, and superior thermal performance. It offers 21st-century acoustic insulation and thermal efficiency.

Rustique Royale Range windows are designed for security and have been approved under PAS 23/24 to keep intruders out. They have been independently tested and achieved a BS7412 weather performance rating, ensuring these windows are more than prepared for the British weather!

Halo does not compromise on energy efficiency and quality. All modern double-glazed units have an A+ energy rating, argon gas filled with a thermally efficient spacer bar, and have Low-E glazing to achieve a U-value of 1.4.

Rustique Royale’s Range of windows and doors has received independent assessment and accreditation from the British Standards Institute.

The windows and doors are fully sculpted and feature ovolo edges, making them ideal for older homes or period-style buildings.

The Sandhurst homeowners wanted to replace their White uPVC front door with a new, traditional composite door in a contemporary grey hue.

They chose Rowton from an Apeer 70 Traditional door range finished in Slate grey on the exterior and white on the interior, the wood grain finish gives the appearance of a traditional timber door.

They chose chrome door furniture, a thumb-turn lock with finger pull, a letter plate, a handle, and a spyhole to complement the slate grey composite front door.

One striking feature of the Slate grey front door is the sleek white frame surround; it adds a contemporary twist and complements the grey and brickwork.

A grey front door is often interpreted as a sign of neutrality, sophistication, and balance.

Whilst anthracite grey is a popular door colour, slate grey composite doors are in demand for traditional and modern properties.

Apeer 70 Composite Front Doors are among the most secure front doors available, offering homeowners peace of mind. They are 60% thicker than other composite doors on the market, and they have an energy-efficient PAS24 Secured by Design and an A rating for energy efficiency.

They are 70mm thick (which is how they got their name), feature triple glazing, and have an A rating for energy efficiency. A double rebate design provides additional protection against draughts. These doors have numerous Secured by Design features, including standard and large steel hinge bolts, to ensure maximum security at their most vulnerable points.

The homeowners are delighted with their new White uPVC Georgian Windows and Slate Grey Composite Front Door and advised:

To be honest, we used you because we had used you twice before in our home. The salesperson was very helpful, the installation was efficient and tidy, and no re-decoration was required. The backup when we had slight issues due to large patio doors that expanded with the heat was quick.

Again we found the whole process very easy, although Covid we were able to go into your showroom, and the salesman was very helpful. We believe that we got a good discount and we were happy with the pricing. We didn’t actually get any other quotes.

The installers were really pleasant, tidy workers. The job was completed more quickly than expected.

We are very happy with the results. It has totally changed the appearance of the property, improving its sale value and, when it goes back onto the rental market, its rental price.

We have various front door styles on display in our Bracknell showroom.
