Hi-spec timber windows for traditional-style new-build in Dorset conservation area
High performance, timber windows and bi-fold doors were specified for a self-build project in a conservation area in Wimborne, Dorset. An attractive family home has been designed to contribute to the aesthetics of the village in which many of the properties date back to the 18th century and a sympathetic design was a requirement of local planners.
East Dorset District Council agreed that a new property of traditional style would work within current planning policies. Mumford & Wood’s products are suitable for conservation areas as products in the award-winning Conservation™ range are designed to reproduce period sightlines while providing excellent thermal efficiency.
Our bespoke, double glazed windows are BSI energy rated ‘A – C’, depending on specification, ensuring high thermal performance with an overall frame U-value of 1.4 W/m².K. They meet current Part L Building Regulations and a range of glazing options, including acoustic glass, is available.
Mumford & Wood worked closely with the architect and contractor in the design of the windows and doors which have contributed to a high performance, well insulated property of technical merit.
“It was agreed by all parties that a new dwelling of appropriate design and character would enhance the street scene within the conservation area and add to the architectural pallet of the hamlet.”
