Cottage windows are specifically designed to meet these high standards by faithfully replicating the older style of windows found in historical homes.

Heritage windows, designed to emulate the older window styles, excel in meeting these high standards. Their craftsmanship and attention to detail ensure a seamless replication of historical window designs, preserving the authentic aesthetic appeal of these older homes.
However, before installing cottage windows in a conservation area, it’s crucial to check you are adhering to local planning and conservation regulations. We can help you seek approval from the relevant authorities or councils overseeing conservation areas to ensure compliance with specific guidelines regarding window replacements.

What colour windows for a cottage?
Colour is a critical element of personalising a cottage window and ensuring that it harmonises with an awaiting property.
Rigorously explore the colour palette for the collection and abundant textures, hues, and wood effects. There is a medley of traditional tones and a wide blend of modern shades.
When undecided between two colour options, combine them both and specify a dual finish so that you can have e.g. Chartwell Green externally and Matt Black on the inside.
White and Cream work terrifically with cottages and are as versatile as any of the accompanying shades, however, you may find that other shades will better emphasise a cottage’s traditional features.
