Get a free quoteResidence 7 and Residence 9 windows are both extremely popular brands of timber-effect uPVC windows. They are designed to replicate the traditional aesthetics of Victorian timber windows. The two designs are both manufactured with beauty in mind. However, there are some differences, including:
Both window styles make exceptional additions to any South West home, particularly those in rural areas like Nailsea, Portishead and Clevedon.
Both Residence 7 and Residence 9 windows exhibit excellent thermal performance. Both can be fitted with 28mm double glazing or 44mm triple glazing. Whichever you choose will help your South West home to retain heat and reduce your energy bills.
The difference is that Residence 7 windows have 7 heat-trapping chambers. Meanwhile, Residence 9 windows have (you guessed it) 9 heat-trapping chambers. This makes Residence 9 windows marginally more energy efficient. However, both windows can achieve energy ratings of A and above.

Both windows have flush, woodgrain-effect exterior profiles, creating an appearance that feels both modern and traditional. However, Residence 7 windows are flush on the inside as well.
For Residence 9 windows, their interior frame and casing can feature a host of additional details. This further enhances their ornate Victorian appearance.
Both brands can be made in dual-colour, with different colours and foiling options for their interior and exterior frames. Foiled options like golden oak, anthracite grey and grained white are incredibly popular. For unfoiled finishes, colours like vintage cream and chalk white are loved by South West homeowners.
Furthermore, both Residence windows styles come with a range of custom accessory options, including monkey tail handles. Every aspect of their design helps to replicate the hand-crafted look of traditional 19th century windows.

A small difference between Residence 7 and Residence 9 windows is that Residence 9 windows have their corner joints butted together. This mirrors the assembly style of Victorian windows, further enhancing their authenticity.
Residence 7 windows are manufactured in the more modern, conventional style. However, this does not detract from their traditional charm.
A weatherbar is like an exterior windowsill. It’s designed to filter dripping water away from the house, and was a common feature of Victorian homes. On Residence 9 windows, this raised, horizontal strip runs along the bottom of the exterior rung. This replicates the style associated with the authentic timber windows of the past.
Both Residence 7 and Residence 9 windows offer all the charm and beauty of traditional timber windows, with all the modern benefits. They are immune to the problems that real timber faces, such as splitting, rotting or warping. They also exhibit all the energy-efficiency that modern uPVC is capable of achieving. For truly stunning windows that light up your home inside and out, there are few better options than the Residence Collection.
Whether you live in Nailsea, Clevedon, Portishead, or anywhere else in the South West, Seal-Lite can provide your home with a remarkable set of Residence windows.
