Read Full ArticleThe Residence Collection has completed a modern, new build home in Solihull with the installation of 12 aluminium-alternative Residence2 windows.
Mainstream Windows did the installation as fabricator, Stedek Windows and Doors, produced the 12 R2 windows in the Clay colourway which matched aluminium bi-folds and fascias that were also selected for the project.
The R2 collection is an aluminium alternative in the fenestration market and features straight-lines and a square interior.
Heritage look
The windows used the Timberweld joint manufacturing method to mimic a traditional timber joint, along with a combination of Georgian bars, 28mm square glazing bead and fluted corner posts. Juliette balconies were added to complete the property.
Light and energy
The strategic placement of the large bay windows and astragal bars allowed the property to maximise the available natural light and open living spaces.
The windows also offer energy efficiency with A++ energy ratings and reach a U-value of up to 0.8W/m2k for triple glazing and 1.2W/m2k for double glazing as standard.
Bob Dhillon, a directors at Mainstream Windows says: “For this particular property in the highly desired Golden Triangle location in Solihull, the Residence2 windows encapsulated the style of the property and the Clay colourway perfectly completed the property. These windows not only exceeded the desired aesthetic but also brought high level of durability and energy efficiency.”
