Accoya doors and windows were the perfect finishing touch to this substantial property in Gerrards Cross. We fitted the full complement including accoya french doors, Georgian casement windows and doors. This elegant country residence looks beautiful with its three sets of french doors.
The Hodsons own a classic 1930s English home in rural Buckinghamshire. Wanting to retain its timeless charm while boosting energy efficiency, they turned to Gowercroft Joinery for advice on replacing their doors and windows.
They believed that only quality timber would suit their property, and that modern performance could be achieved without compromising on style.
We handcrafted and installed a full suite of made-to-measure joinery:
Front Door in Art Deco Style: We fitted a bespoke Melbourne door in dark stain with tall inset panels and a softly arched frame. The design complements the property’s 1930s architecture perfectly, adding understated elegance to the entrance.
Georgian-style Hardwick Flush Casement Windows: These Accoya® windows now feature throughout the house. Their slender sections and traditional mouldings provide the right aesthetic, while concealed gaskets and advanced seals improve insulation.
Three Melbourne French Doors: Installed at the rear of the property, these doors open directly onto the full-width patio. They flood the living spaces with light and connect each room seamlessly to the garden.
To the front of the house we fitted an Accoya front door in an art deco style that echos the era the house was built in. The door features tall inset panels and dark stain, and the head of the frame is arched slightly. The door is understated and elegant, fitting in perfectly with the tone of the residence. The door was taken from our Melbourne Wooden Door Range.
The Hodsons chose us because they wanted products that matched the character of their home. They also prioritised excellent thermal performance.
They were impressed by:
We handcrafted every window and door with precision in our Derbyshire workshop.
Each component went through a rigorous process:
Our handcrafted process ensures an exact fit, outstanding draught proofing, and excellent security. It also means a consistent look and feel across every element of the installation.
Accoya® is a revolutionary modified timber that combines the aesthetic of traditional wood with modern-day performance:
As one of the world’s most sustainable high-performance building materials, Accoya® is ideal for heritage-inspired homes like the Hodsons’.
We offer a 10-year standard guarantee, but with our optional TimbaCare® programme, that guarantee becomes lifelong.
