White Ash French Door & Combination Window Installation in Sturminster Newton

At Goldhill Glazing, we recently completed the installation of a new white ash French door and combination window system at a property in Sturminster Newton, Dorset. The project was designed to improve natural light, provide easy access to the garden, and create a traditional appearance that complemented the character of the property.

The homeowners chose a white ash woodgrain finish throughout, paired with black Radlington cills to create a striking contrast against the painted brickwork. The result is a clean, timeless look that suits both traditional and modern Dorset homes.

The Installation

The existing openings were upgraded with:

• White ash French doors
• Matching white ash combination window
• Decorative Georgian-style glazing bars
• Black Radlington cills
• High-performance double glazing
• Secure multi-point locking systems

The French doors provide a practical connection between the home and garden while allowing significantly more natural light into the room. The adjacent combination window was designed to match perfectly, creating a balanced and attractive appearance across the entire elevation.

Why Choose White Ash Windows and French Doors?

White ash remains one of the most popular choices for homeowners across Dorset because it combines the traditional appearance of painted timber with the low-maintenance benefits of modern uPVC.

Benefits include:

• Authentic timber-style appearance
• Excellent thermal efficiency
• Reduced maintenance compared to timber
• Long-lasting colour stability
• Improved security
• Increased natural light
• Suitable for both traditional and modern properties

The addition of black Radlington cills helps define the openings and provides an elegant contrast that works particularly well with white brick and rendered properties.

Improving Energy Efficiency

Modern double-glazed French doors and windows can help reduce heat loss and improve overall comfort throughout the year. By replacing older glazing systems, homeowners can often benefit from improved insulation, reduced draughts and better energy performance.

This installation not only improved the appearance of the property but also enhanced its thermal performance and everyday usability.
