Westcoast Swedish bespoke aluminium timber composite windows have proven to be the ideal glazing solution for barn conversions and traditional properties
For instance, Westcoast bespoke composite windows offer the perfect combination of a traditional warm wood oak interior, combined with a stylish, low maintenance aluminium exterior, along with exceptional energy efficiency.
Changes in planning laws over the last few years have freed up many of the previous restrictions placed on the conversion of agricultural buildings and barn conversions. This has made them even more appealing to self-builders looking to create their own home from an existing building, rather than starting from scratch.
When embarking on a barn conversion, there are likely to be many compromises and decisions to make regarding how much of the old building it’s feasible to retain. Often home owners love the idea of the traditional features, such as beams and high ceilings, but are unwilling to compromise on modern specifications, like energy efficiency.
This is where Westcoast bespoke aluminium timber composite windows offer the perfect solution. The aluminium exterior can be finished in a colour of your choice to tie in with your external finish – perhaps black to match your weatherboard exterior.
The warm wood interior of the windows can be finished in pine, oak or a timber species of your choice, which means it can be sympathetic to your traditional interior, for instance, blending in seamlessly with oak beams.
Westcoast triple glazed composite windows offer extremely high energy efficiency with U-values as low as 0.9 W/m2k. Furthermore Westcoast composite windows are certified to the highest security standards with Secured by Design accreditation on all principle products, ensuring your safety and security in your home.
With Westcoast bespoke aluminium timber composite windows you can design your windows to suit your home. Often barn conversions are designed with mullion windows to retain some of the natural character of the building.
