Gothic Design Heritage Windows for a beautiful former shop designed by eminent architect William White 

The William White Buildings’ renaissance with vacuum glazing where heritage meets modern efficiency.

---

In the heart of Audley, Staffordshire, the William White Buildings stand proudly—a legacy of 19th-century Gothic architecture. Once bustling with shops and banks, these structures have experienced a long history, and more recently one one being transformed into a family home.

The William White Building faced a daunting challenge—a set of windows that had weathered the years poorly. Rotting frames and leaky double-glazed units presented a conservation dilemma but a solution emerged that would blend the old with the new seamlessly.

The combination of Accoya timber frames and vacuum glazing promised not just conservation compliance but a modern progression in energy efficiency. The vacuum glazing ensuring the home stayed warm without compromising on historic aesthetics.

Preserving the original aesthetic wasn’t just a goal; it was a meticulous commitment. The flush fitting of the replacement casements posed a unique challenge, requiring skilled brickwork surgery to make the new windows seamlessly blend into the 1800s architecture.

In the quiet village of Audley, the William White Buildings now stand not just as relics of the past, but as a living testament to the seamless integration of heritage and innovation. The vacuum glazing and Accoya timber frames not only preserved history but propelled these buildings into a future of energy-efficient, comfortable living.
