A beautiful home in Harpenden, Hertfordshire, has been given a new lease of life thanks to the addition of 15 Residence 9 windows that were fabricated and installed by local specialist, Harpenden Windows.

The homeowner is said to have selected the Residence 9 (R9) window system afer experiencing its exceptional build quality firsthand when visiting Harpenden Windows’ showroom.

For this installation the windows were manufactured using traditional mechanical jointing methods rather than modern welds. This precise manufacturing approach authentically replicates the classic butt joints found in historical timber frames.

Combined with a substantial 100mm frame depth and a high-performance, 9-chambered internal profile, and easy to clean fully foiled rebate, the installation is designed to provide a balance of period charm, structural strength, and modern security.

Finished in a classic white woodgrain both internally and externally, the windows provide a clean, elegant aesthetic that complements the property’s structural architecture. Tо achieve the specific heritage look desired by the homeowner, the design incorporates square leaded glass detailing and French casement windows (two-sided hinged sashes that swing outward from the centre without a permanent middle post) to maximise natural light.

Decorative glazing beads have also been used on the interior for an authentic, high-end finish.

Jo Trotman, sales & marketing manager at The Residence Collection, commented:

“This project perfectly illustrates why our Residence 9 windows and doors remain a considered choice for premium home renovations.

“This is a fantastic example of how homeowners can preserve the traditional character of their property, and Harpenden Windows has delivered a visually stunning home transformation that retains traditional looks while offering superior, low-maintenance performance.

“It’s also a great reminder of the value of visiting a showroom. We always encourage the customer to view the windows in person before making a decision, seeing and feeling the quality of the windows gives homeowners real confidence that they are making the right choice for their home.”

Emma Valle, at Harpenden Windows, added:

“We find that once homeowners see the detailing of The Residence Collection in our showroom, the choice becomes clear. The R9 system allowed us to deliver a bespoke, high-performance package of 15 windows that perfectly satisfies the client’s desire for a classic timber alternative style without the historical upkeep.”
