Residence 7 (R7) Windows: The Authentic Flush Sash Timber Alternative
Experience the perfect blend of 19th-century timber aesthetics and cutting-edge composite technology. Residence 7 (R7) is the versatile, maintenance-free window system designed to look stunning from every angle—flush inside and out.
Unlike standard windows, R7 is engineered with a market-leading 7-chamber design and a precise 75mm frame depth. This superior construction not only replicates the traditional sightlines of timber joinery but also delivers A++ energy ratings and exceptional acoustic performance. Whether you live in a modern new build or a heritage cottage in Hampshire, Residence 7 offers the chic, symmetrical look of wood without the sanding, painting, or upkeep.
Flush Sash Perfection: Inside and Out
What makes Residence 7 unique in the market is its true flush design. Unlike many timber alternatives that are only flush on the exterior, R7 sits flush against the frame both internally and externally. This creates a chic, modern, and symmetrical look that is maintenance-free. It is the ideal solution for homeowners who want the 19th-century timber aesthetic without the sanding and painting.

What does a 43dB reduction feel like?
Technical numbers can be hard to visualise, but the impact on your home life is profound. To the human ear, a reduction of just 10dB sounds like the noise volume has been halved.
By achieving a reduction of up to 43dB, Residence 7 windows can transform the roar of a busy road into the ambient murmur of a quiet library. The combination of the 7-chamber insulated frame and acoustic laminated glass creates a sanctuary of silence, ensuring you get a restful night’s sleep regardless of what is happening outside.

Timber Weld Options
Our range of beautiful Residence 7 windows are available in various welds in order to give your home the perfect internal and external finish. Starting with a traditional mechanical joint, you can benefit from an excellent alternative to timber aesthetics. Similarly, the mitre welded joint or Graf weld uses diagonal fuse joints for the perfect contemporary or seamless appearance.
Residence are well known for their popular Timberweld process, which is used to weld the profile with a timber look to both sides of the profile—an excellent option for homes looking for a cost-effective and low maintenance timber appearance. Alternatively, the Residence 7 windows can be manufactured with Mechweld/External Timber Look (ETL) diagonal welds to the internal face and a timber look to the external face. Combined with a stunning selection of colours and woodgrain finishes, you can enjoy aesthetics and performance with these windows.
Safe & Secure Features
Security
Beauty shouldn’t compromise safety. The Residence 7 system is designed with intelligent security features built-in. The glass is internally beaded, meaning the glass cannot be removed from the outside—a common weak point in older windows. We fit every R7 window with high-security multi-point locking systems and secure hinges, giving you total peace of mind.

The “7” in Residence 7 stands for the seven distinct chambers hidden inside the 75mm frame. These chambers act as a barrier against the cold, trapping heat inside your home. Combined with high-performance glazing, R7 windows achieve energy ratings of A++ and can reach a Passivhaus-standard U-value of 0.8 W/m²K when triple glazed. This means a warmer home and lower heating bills.
