[Danielle Roberts]

Look at Bereco – when our next tranche are done in April we’ll have changed 14 of ours to these high quality ones (flush casement). CO very happy with the spec.

Rose Ultimate collection.

Have you considered lowering the eaves in the design? To reduce the extent of brickwork apparent in the front elevation. Even two or three courses could help. IMO

[Mia Thomas]

Are you planning on having lead or zinc over those bay windows? If so I’d love to know where you are sourcing from

[Daisy Walker]

will be lead to match existing. Will just go to a local merchant and ask what they can supply.

[Brian Taylor]

Have a look at Allan Brothers, we have their timber flush casement windows. Your architect appears to have designed your bay window with opening hoppers that you can see – they are sitting proud. They should be flush or sash n case.

[Carl Hardwick]

Roseview have ranges that are approved for listed buildings and ones in conservation areas. You need the ultimate heritage range. Our conservation officer tried to get us to go with them rather than the accoya ones we have gone with.

[Natalie Smithson]

Just a general point for the sake of anyone reading –

there is no product of any kind that is “approved” for use in listed buildings or in conservation areas – even if a manufacturer has stated it is.

No approval system like this exists – there’s no list.

Lots of manufacturers will quote “English heritage approved” etc – this just means that at some point, somewhere, English heritage (or whichever other body is being quoted) have used this product.

The trouble is we don’t know if it was used in the new build toilet block in the car park, or in the salon of a stately home.

Just because a product has been accepted by a conservation officer in one context, there’s no reason to assume it will be accepted elsewhere.

[Dave Drydale]

You didn’t mentioned if your house is listed or not, if it is within a Conservation area or not, all those influence what type of windows can you use. What is stated in your planning application ? If it was approved, you have to follow the specifications approved.

[Michael Edwards]

I personally would always go with a local Joiner over a national company any day. You can work with them and the Conservation officer easier again, there are lots of big company springing up to say they’re doing Heritage windows and in fact all they are doing is turning out timber Windows that layers and layers of sprayed on plastic coatings on which looks ridiculous to the trained eye. And if you tried to change the spec to say Linseed paints, they simply can’t or won’t or say their insurance won’t cover it. With a local joiner have much more control .

[Fran Scott]

Check out these lists they should typically be a good choice. Important in a pastiche copy like this to get the detail right not just in windows but also things like reveal depth etc.
