A collaboration between installers Kettell Windows and fabricators Garden of Eden has won Sheerline’s Installation of the Month Competition for February. They worked together to transform this beautiful property in Rothley, Leicestershire.
Kettell Windows replaced all the original timber frames with Sheerline’s Classic Windows with a stepped flush style. This product was specified over PVCu because of the slim sightlines, which made it a good match for the original windows.
It was important to retain the property’s character and style, hence why an aesthetically similar product needed to be installed. That’s why the homeowners opted for a woodgrain foil finish in cream, to give a textured wood look without the maintenance of timber.
One of the challenges of this project stemmed from the fact the property is older, and some internal plasterwork required repair during installation. They also had to make sure the bay angles were accurate, as like most older character properties, the bays weren’t perfectly even.
Garden of Eden were one of the first fabricators to offer Sheerline’s woodgrain foil service. It’s appealing because it gives homeowners looking for timber windows the best of both worlds – a wood look, but with the benefits of aluminium – thermally efficient, hard wearing, low maintenance, and secure.
When asked about their win, Lisa Kettell, Co-director at Kettell Windows, said: “We’re super pleased – during our 20th birthday month – to have our teams’ hard work, premium products, and finish be acknowledged.”
Tony Basile, Sheerline’s National Sales Director, commented: “It’s fantastic to see two companies we know collaborating and achieving success together. It’s a beautiful installation they’ve completed and highlights the benefits of woodgrain foiling.”
“It’s a great option for older, characterful properties and homeowners who are looking to upgrade their existing timber frames,” he added.
To enter the Installation of the Month Competition, all installers need to do is email their photos to info@sheerline.com, or alternatively, mention Sheerline on social media when they’re sharing a project.
