New Look with Replacement Windows and Doors: 15th September, 2024

Rosewood to Anthracite Grey:

We're so excited to share the latest update on customer's home renovation project! One of the most significant changes made to the property is the installation of new windows and doors. This upgrade has not only improved the home's energy efficiency but has also given it a modern, sleek look.

The old windows and doors were starting to show their age. They were drafty, leading to higher energy bills, and they didn't match the style the customers were aiming for. Our customer in King Sutton knew that replacement double glazing would not only enhance their home's appearance but also provide numerous practical benefits.

They opted for a clean, contemporary aesthetic with anthracite grey UPVC, back and composite front doors. These doors not only look fantastic but are also durable and low-maintenance. To complement the doors, we installed 16 replacement windows throughout the home. The new windows not only provide better insulation but also allow for more natural light, making the living spaces feel brighter and more welcoming.

If you're considering a similar project, we highly recommend it!

Before our arrival, the home's windows were past their prime. They blocked out precious sunlight and did little to keep the elements at bay. But that all changed when we installed energy efficient, modern windows. With their clean lines and expansive panes, they flood the interiors with natural light, creating a more open and inviting atmosphere.

The upgrades didn't stop there! We also replaced the tired back door with a functional and stylish new entrance including a cat flap for the feline occupant. This brightens up the rear of the property and provides easy access to the garden, perfect for summer barbecues and al fresco dining.

And let's not forget the pièce de résistance: the composite front door. Unlike traditional timber doors, this beauty is built to last, offering superior durability and weather resistance. But it's not all about practicality; the elegant design adds a touch of sophistication and charm to the home's facade.

A Thank You Letter From Our Customer: 16th January, 2024

"Professional Service

Seldom am I able to write to a company to thank them for a truly excellent service. From the very moment I contacted your office and Kerri answered the phone I was introduced to a most helpful and exceptionally efficient lady and within a few minutes, provided me with all details of your business which provided me with great confidence.

You kindly visited my house, measured all the windows and doors and in no time at all Kerri forwarded me a rough lay out of the plans together with estimate of costs. These were entirely satisfactory to me and I wanted to proceed but as you know, unfortunately I had to seek the approval of the National Trust as they hold a covenant on the exterior of the house. This entailed a long procedure of completing an application with photo's of each window and doors. Due to non-availability of the sole person responsible for approving covenants this took over 6 weeks to obtain approval. Through out this long period Kerri fully understood the problem and your company stood by until approval was granted and I paid the deposit. You very quickly returned to my house and accurately measured the window and door frames to forward to the manufacturers. Due to the lateness of this order in the year I was asked by Kerri if I would not mind delaying the start of fitting until the second week in January 2024. I fully appreciated that the festive season was due and your team needed a break. Again, Kerri kept me fully in the picture. As planned, on Monday 8 January and despite the very cold weather forecast you, Scott and Brandon arrived at my house on time and immediately set to work in a most impressive manner. Your team worked solidly through out the day, in the freezing cold right up to end of day with hardly any let-up. It really was most impressive as you directed Scott and Brandon to their tasks and what good workers all 3 of you were. The days followed and with no let-up windows and doors were replaced with the new UPVC frames.

You, Scott and Brandon were exceptionally polite and friendly. Nothing was too much and I was most impressed by the way you left each room in a tidy state but also kindly removed and refitted curtains and roller-blinds all to my entire satisfaction-an outstanding service.

I have looked closely at the workmanship or your teams' efforts and have been highly impressed by the exceptional standard. Without exception, every window and door has been fitted perfectly and all the surrounds of the frames have been expertly filled. The house windows and doors look exactly as the original and more than meets the National Trust covenant.

You more than matched the estimate time scale you set to complete the task through the hard work and skill of the whole team. Never have I witnessed a company Boss, who after completion of the task spent extra time on inspecting the work to ensure all the replacement windows and doors were of the highest standard. Thank you for this attention to detail.

Please convey our great appreciation to Kerri, Scott, Brandon and foremost your self for the outstanding service and sheer professionalism despite the freezing weather and strong winds.

You have demonstrated what a first-class company Distinguished Windows is in all aspects. We have enjoyed your personal company and friendliness which we greatly appreciated.

From us both our heartfelt and sincere appreciation for a wonderful job. I will have great pleasure in strongly recommending Distinguished Windows to any one seeking to replace their doors and windows."


From Draughty to Dreamy: A Home Transformed with New Windows and French Doors 15th January, 2024

Imagine this: sunshine flooding through sparkling windows, casting warm hues onto gleaming white woodgrain. French doors swing open, inviting the gentle breeze and scent of blooming gardens. This isn't a dream in Provence, it's the reality that's taken root in a beautiful Sherbourne home, thanks to a recent transformation.

That's right, a local property has shed its drafty past and embraced a light-filled future with the help of Distinguished Windows, your trusted source for windows and doors in Sherbourne, Chipping Norton, Cotswolds and surrounding areas. We were thrilled to be part of this exciting project, and we can't wait to share the magic with you!

Before our arrival, the home's windows were the antithesis of cheer. Age-worn and inefficient, they let in the cold and kept out the sunshine. But all that changed when we replaced them with our stunning white woodgrain UPVC windows. These beauties bring light dancing into every room, transforming the feel of the entire space. The woodgrain finish adds a touch of warmth and character, marrying seamlessly with the home's existing charm.

But the transformation didn't stop at the windows. We also installed three sets of elegant French doors, creating seamless connections between the home and its beautiful Sherbourne surroundings. Imagine stepping out onto a sun-drenched patio, the air sweet with the scent of jasmine, or throwing open the doors for a breezy dinner party - the possibilities are endless!

Of course, our windows and doors aren't just about looks. They're built to last, featuring cutting-edge UPVC technology. That means superior insulation, keeping the warmth in during winter and the cool air in during summer. You can say goodbye to drafty corners and soaring energy bills!
