R7 windows transform farmhouse-inspired new-builds
A selection of new-build properties in Austrey, lying mid-way between Tamworth in Staffordshire and Ashby-de-la-Zouch in Leicestershire, have been elevated with the installation of Residence 7 windows in Painswick and Corse Lawn colourways.
Installed by Swadlincote Window Company, this installation contained 78 windows in total, with the configuration featuring side openers throughout.
Working in partnership with Lychgate Homes and architectural designers David Granger Architectural Design, the Austrey Fields project is said to have required careful consideration to ensure the windows complemented the rural setting, while delivering modern performance.
Manufactured using welded joints, the windows feature 6.4 laminated, Planitherm glazing with argon – a specification selected for energy efficiency, acoustic control and enhanced security. The developer also selected chrome inline handles in order to add a contemporary yet refined finishing touch.
The colours were chosen to create harmony with the style of the rest of the exterior of the homes, as well as contrast each other on the wider development.
Natasha Vandaele at Swadlincote Window Company explained: “The whole development at Austrey Fields has been carefully thought out to fit seamlessly into this lovely village setting – so ensuring that the windows were in keeping with that was really important. We regularly work with Lychgate Homes, and they contacted us as they were looking for flush windows to tie in with the contemporary aesthetic of the development. R7 was deemed the best choice for all of the new properties due to the sleek design and the fact they are flush externally and internally.”
Jo Trotman, marketing manager at The Residence Collection, added: “This is another stunning example of how the R7 system can elevate both heritage restorations and new-build properties alike. The combination of classic styling, high-performance glazing and meticulous detailing ensures the homes look timeless, while offering everyday comfort and security.”
