Anthracite grey windows bring a contemporary look to Kilmacolm home, Glasgow.

The Lorimer range from CR Smith offers the slimmest frames in Scotland, helping increase natural light within the home. But they are also known for their beautiful finish, helping our customers achieve their ideal home internally and externally. Mr and Mrs Devlin chose CR Smith precisely because they wanted to bring a modern look to their home, while increasing its energy efficiency. 

New windows in Kilmalcom

Located in Kilmacolm in the West of Scotland, the Devlins wanted to upgrade their windows to the Lorimer range from CR Smith due to the beautiful features and ‘A’ rated energy efficiency. Having had CR Smith windows in their previous property, the Devlins knew they wanted CR Smith to carry out the window upgrade in their new home, as the installation is seamless. With Mrs Devlin being an interior designer, the final look of the new windows was important and bringing a contemporary look to the outside of their home was a requirement to help complement the new modernised style within. 

Combining modern with traditional

The Devlins home was built in the early 1900s and consists of beautiful period property features such as bay windows. Having modernised the interiors, the Devlins wanted to bring a contemporary twist to the facade of their home, while keeping traditional elements. The Lorimer range matched this criteria perfectly.

Sliding sash windows in anthracite grey

The Lorimer sliding sash windows host all the traditional features of an original sash and case window, such as a deep bottom rail, authentic ironmongery and sash horns. The Devlins decided this window style was most fitting for the front of their home as it replicated the original windows, but with all the benefits of modern engineering. To further enhance the original features, they decided to add decorative Georgian bars to the upper sash, keeping the period look. Complete in anthracite grey externally, this modern colour contrasts beautifully against the red sandstone, increasing the property’s kerb appeal. 

Reversible windows for a modern touch

At the back of the property, the couple have added a modern extension to the home. To complement the look of the extension, they decided the Lorimer Reversible windows were a great match. The Lorimer reversible windows are not only aesthetically appealing with their chamfered shape and clean sightlines, but they also open ingeniously, swinging 180 degrees outward, making them an ideal choice for first and second floor rooms. Complete in anthracite grey to keep a coherent look across the property, the reversible windows in the Devlins home look striking and also increase the functionality.

TimberLuxe French doors in anthracite grey

To replicate the modern look externally across the whole home, the Devlins upgraded their original storm doors to a TimberLuxe engineered timber French door. The TimberLuxe French doors not only look sleek but also increase security within the home thanks to their multi-point locking system. The Devlins chose the Mardale panel to further enhance the contemporary look with its sleek finish and smooth lines. 

Window finance 

When it came to making the final decision, it was the CR Smith finance packages which solidified their order. Mr and Mrs Devlin are both business owners and understand the importance of cash flow. The Interest Free Credit finance package from CR Smith allowed them to have beautiful new products installed while keeping their money in the bank. At CR Smith we offer a range of window finance options to help customers like the Devlins get beautiful new windows and doors at a budget that suits them.
