WHY THE RESIDENCE COLLECTION CONTINUES TO LEAD THE TIMBER- ALTERNATIVE MARKET
From award-winning heritage window and door systems to investing in the next generation of industry talent, The Residence Collection reflects on 15 years of market-leading innovation—and what lies ahead for installers and fabricators. For 15 years, The Residence Collection has redefined the fenestration landscape, establishing itself as the gold standard for luxury timber-alternative uPVC systems. Ever since the launch of the pioneering Residence 9 (R9) system, the brand has continually bridged the gap between authentic 19th-century aesthetics and 21st-century thermal and structural performance. Today, that market-leading legacy spans an expanded portfolio, including Residence 7 (R7) and Residence² (R²), and of course the new timber alternative entrance door, earning consistent industry recognition and prestigious award wins along the way. Award-Winning Heritage The brand’s commitment to excellence was highlighted again at the GGP (Glass and Glazing Products) Awards, where premier installer Silent View Windows clinched the award for Best Heritage Installation using Residence 9. The winning project (a sensitive restoration of a Grade II listed former NatWest Bank on Thame High Street) replicated historic 1910 fenestration patterns using R9 in Grained White. Securing listed-building consent while achieving A+ energy ratings and a 1.2 W/m²K U-value, the project demonstrated once again why Residence 9 remains the timber-alternative system of choice for conservation officers, developers, and trade partners nationwide. Uncompromising Style and Trade Security Building on 15 years of timber-alternative excellence, The Residence Collection has expanded its focus to front doors, providing installers with high-margin, visually striking solutions. Front doors are no longer just focal points for kerb appeal; they are complex assemblies that must deliver long-term security, weatherproofing, and thermal performance. The Residence Collection’s dedicated open-in entrance door offers total aesthetic and performance continuity across property projects. Crafted with
traditional joinery aesthetics in mind, the door range features a deep bottom rail, a bespoke 130mm mid- rail, and a patent-pending panel surround trim that conceals gasket lines for a seamless finish and a finished timber aesthetic. To support installers on the ground, the upgraded Residence Door Designer tool puts creative and visual control directly into the hands of customers. Offering over four million possible design combinations across 21 styles, 11 colour options and numerous glazing designs, the digital tool generates qualified, spec-ready leads that route straight to trade partners.. Apprenticeships & Young Talent Behind every award-winning profile and technical achievement is a dedicated team committed to driving British manufacturing and industry innovation forward. As the fenestration sector faces ongoing skills shortages, The Residence Collection
