Nestled in the serene countryside of Warwickshire, a charming farmhouse dating back to the early 1600s stands as a testament to the region’s rich heritage. This Grade II listed property, located between Coventry and Birmingham, recently underwent a remarkable transformation with the installation of heritage casement windows. Gowercroft Joinery, renowned for their craftsmanship, skillfully incorporated high-end vacuum glazing technology to strike the perfect balance between preserving the farmhouse’s historic authenticity and meeting modern energy efficiency standards. Let’s delve into this project and discover how vacuum glazing played a pivotal role in enhancing both comfort and sustainability. The resounding success of the initial window replacements has led to subsequent phases of work, further elevating the property’s allure.

Preserving History with Heritage Casement Windows in Warwickshire

This project was a picturesque farmhouse near Fillongley which dates back to the early 1600’s and is Grade II listed. Ideally situated between Coventry and Birmingham, but still off the beaten track in the countryside of Warwickshire. Our customer, Gowercroft Joinery, produced heritage casement windows using high end vacuum glazing.

One of the biggest challenges was how to preserve its historic authenticity whilst upgrading to modern standards. The existing windows were beyond economic repair and the client was seeking sympathetic replacements, which would also offer modern standards of energy efficiency and comfort. Vacuum glazing was the obvious answer.

Vacuum Glazing UK Ltd. supplied vacuum glass to the manufacturer of the heritage casement windows in order that they could fulfill this brief. The end client is so delighted that there have been two subsequent phases of work at the property, replacing further windows.
