HWL selected as strategic partner for landmark Welborne Garden Village project
Leading fabricator and installer оf premium window systems, HWL Windows has officially been named a key supplier for the prestigious Welborne Garden Village development іn Hampshire.
HWL are currently delivering flush, high-performance timber-alternative glazing solutions for Phase 1 оf this ambitious 6,000-home project, which іs set tо span the next 25 years.
Welborne Garden Village, led by Master Developer The Buckland Group, іs designed tо set a new benchmark for a holistically planned, characterful and self-sustaining place, a new addition to Britain’s rich legacy of new communities. The architectural vision іs guided by world-renowned architect Ben Pentreath OBE (famed for his work with The Duchy of Cornwall) and requires a meticulous approach tо detail combined with modern durability.
HWL were selected following a rigorous specification process coordinated by Paul Self, Commercial Director at The Buckland Group, which involved presentation of samples tо the Architect and local Town Planners tо ensure that the glazing met the site’s exacting heritage standards.
HWL are currently halfway through the initial phase, manufacturing and installing approximately 750 windows and doors for developers PYE Homes and CG Fry.
The choice оf our 76mm flush system was central tо meeting the project’s design requirements:
Authentic aesthetic - Designed tо replicate 19th-century timber windows with a 76mm frame depth and flush exterior.
Modern performance - Achieves an A+ energy rating and U-values as low as 1.2 W/m²K with double glazing, helping the project meet thermal standards.
Heritage acceptance - Widely recognised for use іn sensitive conservation areas and period-style new builds.
Graham Howatson, Director at HWL Windows, commented: "We are incredibly proud tо be a chosen partner for a project as prestigious as Welborne. We have worked tirelessly with our supply chain tо ensure that our products meet the high-specification requirements оf Ben Pentreath and The Buckland Group.
“This project demands a long-term commitment tо quality and consistency, and we are honoured to see our windows and doors becoming a permanent part оf this new community’s fabric.
“Welborne is a truly unique project; it has a very different feel from a typical housing development. The aesthetics of the homes are stunning, combining a rare mix of heritage looks with modern performance - something that takes an exceptional amount of planning and effort to achieve, which is testament to the quality of work from Ben Pentreath and everyone involved from The Buckland Group.”
Paul Self, Commercial Director at The Buckland Group, said: “The vision for Welborne has been two decades in the making. This vision is focused on, amongst other things, good architecture, thoughtful landscaping and placemaking. The design of the Garden Village has been carefully considered to follow that of traditional Hampshire villages. More than 50% of Welborne will be publicly accessible green space.”
“The selection of HWL’s casement window was made easy, as their 76mm flush system creates the look of a traditional timber window, whilst boasting all the benefits of a modern window. With HWL also carrying out the installation of the windows, we know that we have experts on hand who know the system inside out.”
