The project

A substantial upgrade.
Carefully integrated.

Replacing timber across a complete home demands more than a product swap: every new unit must suit the existing masonry, proportions and visual character.

D&G Window Solutions replaced the ageing timber package with 38 aluminium casement windows and bronze Palace doors. The colour selection works with the brick elevations and landscape, while the new systems create crisp, dependable openings throughout the house.

Purpose in every detail

Modern performance.
A natural fit.

The bronze finish gives the new aluminium a settled presence against the brickwork and keeps the intervention respectful of the original home.

01 / Replacement

Made around the masonry

Each unit was measured to the existing opening so the new package could be integrated cleanly.

02 / Finish

Bronze against warm brick

The darker aluminium tone complements the established palette instead of competing with it.

03 / Package

Windows and doors together

Repeated casements and larger Palace doors were coordinated as one residential upgrade.
