Bringing Timeless Charm to Fairfield Park with Bereco Windows

Window & Door Design Details:

Lipped Casement Windows were installed across the majority of the 45 homes, each featuring a horizontal 16mm glazing bar with back-to-back spacer, for a classic, cohesive look throughout the development. In the communal buildings, Sliding Sash Spiral Balance Windows were specified, incorporating a vertical 16mm glazing bar to visually align with the casement designs used elsewhere on site.

Entrance door styles were carefully selected to suit each construction phase. Phase one featured the Beaumont design, with two raised and fielded lower panels and a 110mm vertical mullion separating the glazed sections above. For phase two, the Ashbrook door was introduced, echoing the same vertical mullion detail but with a single boarded lower panel, bringing a subtle but distinctive variation.

All Bereco doors – whether Entrance, French or Bi-Folding – are designed with security and performance in mind. Each door meets PAS24:2022 certification and Secured by Design standards, featuring a robust 3-point multi-locking system and an ERA Fortress 3-star Neighbourhood Watch approved cylinder lock. With 68mm thick door leaves, nearly an inch thicker than standard market offerings, homeowners benefit from improved insulation, a solid feel and peace of mind through enhanced security.

Every product supplied was factory-finished in BS 00E55, a soft, understated white chosen from the British Standard colour palette and specified in the design code to ensure consistency across the entire development.

Finishing Touches:

While window colours were predefined, Abbeymill Homes had the freedom to personalise the front door leaf finishes. For phase one, they chose Spruce Green (BS 12B25); for phase two, French Green (NCS S 3010-G80Y) – both elegant tones that created a subtle contrast with the crisp white frames while complementing the surrounding neighbourhood.

Ironmongery throughout was finished in Satin Chrome, including the Balmoral Lever Handle on the doors, Connoisseur Window Handle for casement windows, and Fitch Fastener, Hook Lifts and Vent Locks on the Sliding Sash Windows. This hardware choice brought a sleek yet timeless aesthetic that subtly enhanced the design.

Acoustic Glazing Requirements:

For the homes located nearest the main road, enhanced acoustic performance was a key requirement. Bereco’s acoustic range of windows was specified, offering outstanding sound attenuation of up to 39dB, helping to ensure peace and quiet inside without compromising design.
