Timber Windows
Our premium timber windows combine traditional craftsmanship with modern performance requirements. Available in Classic, Heritage, and Performance ranges, they offer solutions for unlisted properties, conservation areas, and Passiv-Haus standards. Constructed from responsibly sourced hardwoods with advanced glazing options, these windows provide exceptional thermal efficiency, acoustic insulation, and security. Each unit features a 10-year guarantee and is manufactured to meet exacting British building regulations while maintaining aesthetic authenticity for period properties.
Heritage Doors
Specially designed doors for listed buildings and conservation areas maintain historical accuracy while incorporating modern technology. Featuring slim-profile vacuum glazing units and traditional ironmongery, these doors achieve 8.3mm thickness while delivering contemporary energy efficiency. Options include single, double, stable, and sliding sash configurations with custom finishes. Each installation includes planning application support and heritage compliance documentation to ensure approval from conservation officers and English Heritage representatives.
Vacuum Glazing
Our advanced vacuum glazing technology provides superior thermal and acoustic insulation in an ultra-slim profile. The 8.3mm units maintain traditional window proportions while achieving U-values as low as 0.7W/mK. This solution incorporates tiny pillars within the vacuum layer and getter plugs for performance maintenance. Ideal for heritage projects requiring modern efficiency without altering original architectural details, these units come with a 10-year guarantee against seal failure and incorporate warm-edge spacer technology for enhanced performance.

Our team conducts 10-point condition checks, applies revitalising treatments, and performs necessary adjustments to maintain optimal functionality. The programme covers external repainting cycles based on exposure levels and includes priority response for any issues. Customers receive detailed maintenance records and can transfer the guarantee to new property owners.

Gowercroft have installed these windows and doors into the cottages being restored by the Derby canal volunteers at Draycott - they compliment the 19th century building perfectly, thank you

Excellent windows, great quality. Just make sure you idnetify all snags before paying your final amount - it can be hard to get them back. Pandemic didn't help, to be fair!

We are very pleased with the quick response from Gowercroft when we recently found that the door of one of our kitchen larder cupboards had dropped. Jim adjusted the hinges, and we were back in business with a functioning door. This door had been in situ for many years. All the same the response and courtesy of Katy in the office and of Jim who attended are much appreciated.

Gowercroft manufactured and supplied us with three replacement sash and case windows in their traditional Winston style. We were particularly interested in sourcing a traditional looking window but with the added benefits of improved energy efficiency, without compromising on the look of a traditional window and in this respect the Pilkington spacia glass incorporated into the Gowercroft window, with its 6mm profile was a revelation. We were also interested in longevity and low maintenance and again Gowercroft has thought through these design features with the use of Acoya timber and a microporous
