Over 200+ happy client reviews
A great family run company based in Kent, but operate in a wider SE area. They did an excellent job for me in East Sussex replacing three windows: competitive, high quality windows and professional installation. A very friendly and professional company.
– Richard Eden-Green
From quote to post-install checks, everything went pretty smoothly and all those involved (Will, Seb, Sean and Dave) were polite, efficient and fixed any issues that arose quickly and well. The windows look great, are supposedly slightly higher (A+) efficiency than some competitors and have reduced the noise in the house a lot. Highly recommend.
– Stephen Casey
I found House of Glass brilliant to deal with. I needed my windows in a hurry and they delivered without any issues. The windows look great and we are very pleased with them. The team at House of Glass were very professional, friendly and I found the whole process from ordering to installation very easy. Thank you House of Glass. I would happy recommend them to anyone.

The sales staff has full knowledge of the window production and also provided related advice on home refurbishment. He quote is comprehensive. I did not choose the company because of price.

Are Residence windows suitable for conservation areas?
Yes. Residence 9 windows are designed to replicate the look of traditional timber and are often accepted in conservation areas where maintaining heritage aesthetics is important. Always check with your local authority, but many homeowners have successfully used Residence windows in listed and period properties.
Do wood effect uPVC windows really look like timber?
They do. Residence windows use advanced manufacturing techniques to replicate the grain, texture, and detailing of painted or stained wood. With a flush sash design and authentic finishes, they are virtually indistinguishable from timber—even up close.
Can I choose different colours inside and out?
Yes. Both R7 and R9 allow for dual colour options, so you can have a wood effect finish externally and a different tone or neutral colour inside to suit your décor.
What is the difference between Residence 7 and Residence 9?
Residence 9 is designed to replicate 19th century timber windows and features a deeper, more traditional profile with a 9-chambered design for superior insulation. Residence 7 has a slimmer frame with a 7-chambered profile, offering a flush sash inside and out for a more contemporary heritage look.
