This family home is in a notable Conservation Area in Surrey. Over a number of phases Clement has worked with the owners to replace the original fenestration in the house and also provide new steel windows and double doors for the rear extension.
Rectangular leaded steel windows in slim EB16 sections were the perfect match to replicate the original windows at the front of the house and most of those at the back, including two beautiful bay windows. The same frames were chosen for the conservatory, but clear glazing was fitted here. This not only lets in plenty of natural light, but the addition of the T bar detail on the double entrance doors means it looks perfectly in keeping with the Arts and Crafts design of this home.
The owners said: “Replacing the original 100 year old leaded light windows was a huge decision. Our house is locally listed in a Conservation Area so aesthetics were very important. We wanted to retain the look of the house but also the feel and quality of the windows was important.
We couldn’t have been more pleased with the outcome. Clement were extremely helpful and friendly throughout the design, build and installation of the windows, which was very quick in freezing January conditions.
The house is quieter, warmer and altogether more comfortable. In fact, a recent energy survey showed that we are losing more heat through the uninsulated cavity walls than through the windows.”
