Residence Collection R9

9-chamber luxury timber-alternative system

The Residence R9 is the original timber-alternative window โ€” a 9-chamber, 100mm flush sash system designed to be specified in conservation areas where authentic timber detailing is required, but maintenance-free performance is desired. Approved across hundreds of UK conservation areas.

Hand-finished, with mechanical-jointed corners, deep proportions and a depth of detail that genuinely fools the eye, R9 is the choice when the brief calls for "indistinguishable from timber" โ€” without the rot, the painting or the seasonal movement.

Common questions

Frequently asked

Will Residence R9 be approved by my Conservation Officer? +
In conservation areas across Staffordshire we have an extremely high success rate getting R9 approved. The system is specifically designed for this market and we'll provide full technical drawings and sample sections to support your application.
How long does installation typically take? +
Most window or door installations are completed in 1โ€“3 days, depending on the property. Full-house installations are usually finished within a week with no mess and minimal disruption โ€” we tidy up at the end of every day.
Do you offer a guarantee? +
Every installation comes with a 10-year insurance-backed workmanship guarantee, alongside the manufacturer's product warranty (typically 10โ€“25 years on the frame and sealed units).
Can I match my existing windows or doors? +
Yes โ€” we offer the full range of foiled timber-look finishes plus modern colours including Anthracite Grey, Chartwell Green and Black, so we can either match what you have or freshen the whole property.
Are your installers FENSA registered? +
Yes. SGS is a fully FENSA-registered installer. You'll receive a FENSA certificate after installation that satisfies Building Regulations requirements without the need for a separate Council inspection.
