Flush Casement Windows, Lutterworth
New build property with traditional flush casement windows and various exterior doors. The project also included a double storey screen, built with a steel structure and fitted with a mix of flush casement windows, double doors and tilt and turn windows. We tied all of these elements together with hardwood timber cladding to the steel structure.

What made this new build project award-winning?
Gowercroft Joinery contributed bespoke joinery to this ambitious self-build in the Leicestershire countryside, carried out by Landmark Homes. The project went on to win a merit award from the Leicestershire and Rutland Local Joint Consultative Committee for the Building Industry. It was also featured in Build It magazine, where the home received an extensive write-up for its innovation and architectural merit.
How did Gowercroft approach the extension design?
One of the home’s most distinctive features is the two-storey glass and timber extension. Built on a steel frame, the extension required careful coordination between structure and finish. Gowercroft supplied and fitted hardwood timber cladding, as well as integrated the windows and doors directly into the steel framework to ensure visual harmony across the building.
Which windows were used?
To suit both the traditional brick farmhouse and the modern extension, we supplied a mix of window types. These included traditional-style flush casement windows and more contemporary tilt-and-turn options. Each window was selected for its suitability to the space while maintaining an overall coherent aesthetic across the build.
This level of detail and attention to both performance and appearance is typical of Gowercroft’s design approach. We ensure that every product complements its setting without compromise.
What doors were specified?
A wide variety of external doors were required for the project. These included:
- Double French doors
- Single panel access doors
- Bespoke units integrated with glass screening
Despite the variety, we ensured that every door matched the wider timber joinery scheme. Our attention to detail created a consistent look and feel across the entire exterior.
How were quality and durability achieved?
All joinery elements were manufactured to Gowercroft’s exacting standards. Every component passed through our full workshop process, including:
- Timber selection and testing
- High-performance glazing
- Industry-leading coating systems
- Strict quality control checks at every stage
This process ensures a long and trouble-free lifespan for the doors and windows, minimising future maintenance and maximising performance.
