Westbury designs are perfect choice for Georgian-style new build country home
Westbury Windows & Joinery has provided traditional design doors and windows with high performance double glazing for an opulent new build country home in Sussex.
The architects’ design for the property recreated the Georgian-style effectively, specifying traditional timber box sash windows that would also be energy efficient. Westbury Window & Joinery was selected as the preferred supplier, chosen for its traditionally designs that gave authentic sightlines and depth of proportion required for the recessed Georgian style of fenestration.
The Westbury Box Sash Window offers a BSI energy rating from A-C dependent upon specification. A high performing product that gives a whole frame U-value of 1.4 w/m²K, providing optimum balance of comfort, noise reduction and the all-important correct aesthetic.
Made using engineered timber for its durability and stability, the windows feature traditional ‘weights and cords’ mechanism and polished chrome ironmongery. The window design was carried throughout to include full height sash windows as sidelights beside the French doors to the rear ground floor.
Additional fenestration also specified was a bespoke fixed casement ornamental arched window. Positioned central to the frontage, this window floods the upper landing with natural light. A Westbury Oak conservation entrance door, finished in black stain, provides a fitting grand aesthetic to the property’s frontage.
The project also included a central timber rooflight lantern atop a light shaft from the roof that provides natural illumination and an added sense of grandeur to the entrance hall. Entirely manufactured from engineered timber with aluminium protective cappings and using double glazed units, the roof lantern is structurally extremely strong. Proof of this strength is demonstrated by the full weight of the grand chandelier hanging from its central ridge.
Finally, the property includes an adjoining three car garage and annex. The boarded stained double garage doors are also made using Oak by Westbury.
