With over a quarter-century of dedicated service to the social housing sector, TRC Windows has developed an intricate understanding of the unique challenges faced by housing associations and local authorities. Our extensive experience has positioned us as a leading provider of window and door solutions that perfectly balance quality, performance, and longevity.

The social housing sector presents distinct challenges that require specialised expertise. Properties often vary in age and architectural style, from Victorian-era buildings to modern developments, each demanding tailored solutions. We recognise that housing providers must maintain high standards while managing budgets effectively, and our solutions are designed with these considerations at their core.

Meeting Social Housing Requirements

Social housing demands robust, energy-efficient, and long-lasting solutions that enhance residents’ quality of life while maintaining cost-effectiveness for housing providers. Our comprehensive range of windows and doors is specifically designed to meet these requirements, combining durability with aesthetic appeal.

We recognise that social housing projects often involve large-scale implementations across multiple properties, requiring careful planning and efficient execution. Our experienced team works closely with housing providers to develop tailored solutions that address specific needs while ensuring minimal disruption to residents.

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

Advanced thermal design principles

Our windows and doors incorporate cutting-edge thermal technology designed specifically for the social housing sector. The advanced thermal break systems we employ create an effective barrier against heat loss, while our multi-chambered profiles enhance insulation properties. These features work together to maintain comfortable indoor temperatures year-round, reducing the burden of heating costs for residents.

Superior Glazing Solutions

We utilise high-performance double-glazing units that exceed current building regulations. Our glazing options include:

  • Low-emissivity (Low-E) glass that reflects heat back into the room
  • Argon-filled cavity units for enhanced thermal performance
  • Warm edge spacer bars that minimise heat loss around the perimeter
  • Solar control options for south-facing installations
Professional draught-proofing systems

Our window and door systems feature sophisticated weathersealing technology that effectively eliminates draughts and water ingress. Multiple weather seals are strategically placed to create an impenetrable barrier against the elements, ensuring optimal thermal performance throughout the year.

Ventilation Solutions

While maintaining thermal efficiency, we understand the importance of proper ventilation in social housing properties. Our systems incorporate trickle vents and other ventilation features that help prevent condensation and maintain healthy air quality without compromising energy performance.

Quality and Durability

Long-term performance is crucial in social housing, where windows and doors must withstand constant use while maintaining their appearance and functionality.

Material Excellence

We select premium-grade materials specifically chosen for their durability and longevity in social housing applications. Our timber is sourced from sustainable forests and undergoes rigorous treatment processes to ensure maximum lifespan and minimal maintenance requirements.

Manufacturing Precision

Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facility employs precise quality control measures at every stage of production:

  • Computer-controlled machinery ensures consistent quality
  • Multiple quality check points throughout the manufacturing process
  • Stringent testing procedures before products leave our facility
  • Regular calibration of equipment to maintain accuracy
Robust Construction Methods

Our windows and doors are constructed using proven techniques that enhance durability:

  • Engineered timber components for superior stability
  • High-strength corner joints and reinforcements
  • Weather-resistant gaskets and seals
  • Protective coating systems for extended lifespan

Security and Safety

Resident safety is paramount in social housing. Our products can be specified to meet Secured by Design standards, providing enhanced security features that give residents peace of mind. We also offer various safety features such as restricted opening devices and emergency egress options where required.

Advanced Security Features

Our windows and doors are engineered with state-of-the-art security mechanisms. Each installation incorporates multi-point locking systems strategically positioned to provide maximum security against forced entry. The locking mechanisms are concealed within the frame, maintaining clean lines while offering superior protection.
