Heritage Meets Modern: A Loughton Transformation
In Loughton, Essex, these homeowners wanted to update their property with a look that blended classic charm with modern performance. They were looking for windows and doors that would enhance security and energy efficiency, while maintaining the period style of the home. With future plans for an extension in 2026, the project also needed to accommodate structural changes without compromising on design.
The solution was to install Liniar uPVC windows with black foil externally and white gloss internally, along with reeded obscure glass in the bathroom for privacy and black handles for a contemporary touch. For the main access, Sheerline Classic Heritage French Doors (Crittall style) were carefully fitted by cutting out the original brickwork to match the period aesthetics. All products featured Liniar Energy+ profiles, achieving an A+14 energy rating, along with Yale Shootbolt locks, Egress Easy Clean hinges, Pilkington glass, and trickle vents.
The results are impressive. The home now combines heritage styling with modern performance, providing security, energy efficiency, and long-term comfort. The French doors create a striking focal point, while the windows enhance the property’s visual appeal. With plans for the remaining windows to be incorporated into the 2026 extension, this transformation sets the foundation for a cohesive and stylish home for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Sheerline Classic Heritage French Doors different from standard French doors?
Sheerline Classic Heritage doors are designed to replicate traditional Crittall-style metal doors, but with the low-maintenance benefits of modern aluminium. They offer a striking aesthetic, excellent security, and high thermal performance.
Why choose Liniar uPVC windows with black foil externally and white gloss internally?
This combination provides a contemporary, stylish exterior while keeping a bright, traditional feel inside. Liniar uPVC is low maintenance, durable, and available in energy efficient profiles like the Energy+ range.
