This flexibility extends throughout our window and door ranges. A timber casement window for a contemporary property may call for a very different finish from a sash window being installed as part of a period renovation. Similarly, the hardware and glazing specified for wooden panel-style front doors may differ considerably from the requirements of French, bifold, or sliding doors.
For trade customers, we can work alongside your project requirements to help create a consistent specification across individual properties or wider developments. For homeowners, our team can guide you through the available options if you aren’t starting with a detailed specification.
Handles, furniture, and hardware
Hardware provides the finishing touches to a window or door, but its role goes beyond appearance. The right furniture should complement the joinery and surrounding architecture while providing the functionality, durability, and security required for everyday use.
Our collection encompasses traditional and contemporary styles, allowing hardware to be selected to suit everything from period sash and casement windows to modern external doors.
Depending on your project and chosen product, finishes can include options such as:
- Polished and antique brass
- Satin and polished chrome
- Nickel finishes
- Bronze
- Black
- Traditional and contemporary furniture styles
Carefully selected furniture can help new joinery remain sympathetic to the original character of the property, where this is appropriate. For contemporary developments, simpler hardware and finishes can contribute to a cleaner, more minimalist appearance.
The appropriate hardware will also vary according to the product being specified. Nine Zero can help you explore options suited to both the practical and aesthetic requirements of your project.
Glazing options for different project requirements
Glass has a significant influence on the appearance and performance of timber windows and doors. Depending on the location and purpose of the product, different projects may prioritise thermal performance, privacy, noise reduction, or maintaining a traditional appearance.
Nine Zero offers glazing choices to accommodate a variety of requirements.
Energy-efficient glazing
Modern glazing can help improve the thermal performance of timber windows and doors, making it an important consideration for renovations, replacements, and new-build projects alike. We can help identify suitable glazing options for the product and project requirements, allowing traditional timber joinery to be combined with the benefits expected from modern windows and doors.
Acoustic glazing
Properties in London and other busy locations may have additional requirements around external noise. Acoustic glazing can be specified for this reason, making it particularly relevant to homes and developments close to busy roads or other sources of regular external noise.
Obscure and privacy glass
Privacy doesn’t necessarily have to come at the expense of natural light. A range of obscure glass patterns and privacy options can be considered for locations where greater screening is required. These can be particularly useful for bathrooms and other private spaces, as well as glazed sections of panel door designs and other front door types.
Heritage and slimline glazing
For period and heritage-sensitive projects, the visual proportions of glazing can be especially important. Slimline glazing options can help retain a more traditional appearance while providing the benefits of modern glazing. This can make them particularly useful when specifying timber sash windows, casements, and other joinery where preserving architectural character is an important part of the project brief.
Paint colours and finishes
Colour can completely change the character of timber joinery. It can allow new windows and doors to blend almost seamlessly with an existing property or turn them into a deliberate architectural feature. Nine Zero timber windows and doors can be finished in a broad selection of colours, including RAL shades and Farrow & Ball heritage colours.
This flexibility gives you the freedom to select finishes around the wider design of your property or to meet the specifications of your project. Colours can be chosen to:
- Complement existing windows, doors, and architectural features
- Coordinate joinery across a larger development or project
- Work alongside brick, stone, render, and other external finishes
- Complement interior colour schemes
- Recreate an appropriate appearance for period properties
- Introduce contrasting or statement colours on contemporary projects
Our paint finishes for Nine Zero timber windows and doors are also supported by a 10-year guarantee, providing reassurance that the finish has been designed with longevity as well as appearance in mind.
Matching existing and period joinery
When working with an older property, successful specification is often about making the new feel as though it belongs. Replacement windows and doors may need to sit alongside existing joinery, complement established architectural details, or maintain the overall character of a period building. Choices surrounding glazing, hardware, colour, and finish can all contribute to achieving a sympathetic result.
For example, timber sash windows can be specified with appropriate hardware, glazing, and colours to complement the proportions and appearance of existing features. The same principle can apply when introducing a new wooden panel door, replacing wooden French doors, or specifying a casement window as part of a renovation.
We specialise in combining traditional aesthetics with modern performance, helping trade professionals and homeowners find an appropriate balance between retaining character and meeting today’s performance expectations.
Built for more than appearance
The choices made during specification may shape how your windows and doors look, but appearance is only part of the finished product. We combine traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing technology to produce timber windows and doors designed around durability, energy efficiency, security and long-term performance.
We use FSC-certified timber throughout our manufacturing process, while timber waste is recycled as part of our commitment to more sustainable production. Our products are designed to help reduce energy consumption while maintaining the appearance and character appropriate for the property.
Our windows and doors are also supported by a range of guarantees, including up to 30-year warranties on timber and 10-year guarantees on workmanship, glazing and paint finishes.
Specifying windows and doors with Nine Zero
We take a collaborative approach to trade projects, helping professionals explore the available options and identify products and finishes suited to their requirements. Whether you’re sourcing external doors for a renovation or coordinating timber windows and doors across a larger project, we can help you work through the available choices and create a consistent specification.
Homeowners receive the same support. You don’t need to know the precise hardware finish, glazing type, or RAL colour you require before getting in touch. If you know what you want the finished project to achieve, our team can help you explore the options available.
