	Character Homes

	Throughout the country, homeowners take great pride in the character of their property, especially if it has a period heritage and history. Fortunately, today, we are all far more aware of the importance of conservation and maintaining local building styles and traditions. Period details and character are valued, maintained and, if missing, will often be restored. In many cases, the desire is to replace the original products using traditional materials but, all too often, this simply ensures the problem is repeated in a few years time. Progress in science and engineering mean we have a choice of technically advanced materials, such as polymers, which offer significant benefits over traditional materials. However it is unfortunately true that, in the past twenty years or so, many replacement windows, especially so called "plastic windows" have not paid sufficient attention to the visual design and period details. Some replacement windows have been made to match European, not British, building traditions with rather harsh, flat sightlines. It is also true that the quality of installation has left a lot to be desired. We firmly believe that it is possible to create a window which, visually, matches period designs and character detail yet which, at the same time, takes advantage of the most advanced materials to offer better performance and longevity. These quality products are then combined with a truly professional installation service, to ensure complete customer satisfaction. As a result whether you live in a rural retreat or in a busy town, whether your home is early Georgian, Victorian, Edwardian, Inter-war or enjoys a "Garden Suburb" design, James Harcourt windows can be tailored to enhance and maintain the character of your home.
