Traditional character with performance

The Bereco Traditional Range is aimed at period new builds and the traditional replacement markets that require historic timber window design features. Visit our Lancaster showroom to view the true beauty of real wooden windows and real wood doors.

These unique yet traditional designs will suit period and conservation aesthetics and are combined with the high performance and security aspects common throughout the rest of the Bereco range.

The Traditional Range includes unique products, traditional options on glazing bars and beading, together with a range of antique ironmongery.

Hidden Silicone

Our silicone design takes into account the need for improved energy efficiency whilst retaining period aesthetics with only a discrete silicone bead surrounding the glass units.

Slim Frame Sections

In order to optimise glass areas and to retain period styling, the Traditional Range utilises slim frame sections.

Mouldings

A quintessential design feature of the Traditional Range window or door are ovolo mouldings internally and putty bead styling externally, offering products a truly classical character.

Glazing Bars

Bespoke bar arrangements can be supplied to complement any window design without overpowering the windows original aesthetics. The beauty of timber is its versatility, lending itself to the most unique curved and arched bar designs, transforming the whole appearance of a facade. Bereco supply stick on bars with back to back unit spacers creating the illusion of separate panes of glass. Bars as slim as 16mm allow for elegant profiles.

Bars are available in 16mm (LT), 25mm and 35mm with the option of a 48mm solid bar.

Standard Design Features

Traditional Lipped Casement windows are available in top and side hung styles and feature Egress friction hinges opening to 90 degrees as standard to facilitate fire escape and offering an easy clean facility.

The Traditional Lipped window design is ideal for properties where extra protection from the elements is required due to its ability to withstand adverse weather conditions. Excellent sound proofing properties are achieved with a double weather seal around the sash and friction hinges are used to provide modern functionality.

Flush Casement

Our most traditional window, the Flush Casement, is specifically designed to replicate a period window whilst incorporating the latest modern operation and security features. The Traditional Flush Casement window is an outward opening, period style wood frame window with a classical flush line appearance. Internal Ovolo mouldings and external putty bead design replicate the authentic look of traditional timber windows.

Slim sectioned flush profiles are particularly suited to period properties, in areas where specific conservation requirements must be onserved. Traditional Flush Casement windows are often chosen for stone, brick or rendered properties such as Farm houses, cottages and barn conversions.

Designs incorporate an openable fixed sash for ease of installation, ideal for use in refurbishment properties.

Standard Design Features

The Traditional Flush Casement design replicates all the original features of a wooden period window, whilst incorporating the latest modern technology available in high performance timber windows. Concealed hinges offer modern operation, whilst casement stays offer a traditional finish complementing ironmongery choice to match interior décor.

The Bereco Traditional Flush Casement is available in both top and side hung styles and features Concealed GU hinges as standard which are used as unseen butt hinges. This technology allows the window to open to 90 degrees to facilitate fire escape and dummy butt hinges are incorporated into the design to enhance the windows traditional external character.
