Why We’re Supporting the Heritage Award
Heritage architecture holds a special place in everything we do. From the earliest days of William Richards, our work has focused on helping to protect the charm of period homes and listed buildings across the UK. Whether we’re restoring original timber sash windows or creating new ones to match the character of a property, our team takes great care to ensure every detail feels true to its setting. Sponsoring the Heritage Award is a natural fit for us. Like the architects and designers shortlisted in this category, we believe that great design should respect history while meeting modern standards of comfort, energy efficiency, and durability. It’s this balance of tradition and performance that we strive for in every sash window we produce.
Working in Partnership With Architects on Heritage Projects
We understand the responsibility that comes with working on heritage buildings. Our team collaborates closely with architects, conservation officers, and homeowners to design, manufacture, and install timber sash windows that are both beautiful and technically refined. Every window is made to order in our UK workshop using sustainably sourced timber, fitted with slimline double or vacuum glazing, and crafted to the highest standards of detail. Whether it’s a full replacement project in a conservation area or a sensitive upgrade to improve thermal performance without altering original features, we provide solutions that are sympathetic to the architecture and tailored to the unique needs of each property.Celebrating Excellence in Heritage Design
Heritage design demands a careful blend of respect for the past and innovation for the future. The AJ Architecture Awards shine a spotlight on the skill, creativity, and dedication that go into these projects, from sensitive restorations to thoughtfully designed new additions that complement historic surroundings.
By supporting these awards, we hope to champion those who, like us, are committed to protecting the UK’s architectural story for generations to come.
