November 2026: Leading luxury window and door systems designer, The Residence Collection, is celebrating after taking home two top honours at the 13th annual National Fenestration Awards (NFAs) on Saturday 24th October in Doncaster.
Voted for by industry peers, fabricators, and installers across the UK, the brand secured the highly contested titles for Timber Alternative Company of the Year and Digital Marketing Campaign of the Year.
The Timber Alternative Company of the Year accolade reinforces The Residence Collection’s longstanding position as the UK’s benchmark for flush PVCu systems, having been awarded the prize for the fifth year in a row and the ninth time since the awards started. Driven by its flagship Residence 9 (R9) collection (alongside R7 and R²), the brand continues to lead the market in authentically replicating traditional 19th-century timber joinery while delivering modern A+ thermal performance, high security, and low-maintenance living.
Offering 26 colourways, bespoke Regal hardware, and acceptance across sensitive conservation areas and Grade II listed buildings throughout the UK, the system remains the preferred choice for homeowners, developers, and conservation officers alike.
The second major award, Digital Marketing Campaign of the Year, celebrated the brand’s multi-channel launch, including PR, social media and email campaigns, of its new Timber Alternative Open-in Entrance Door in May 2025. This campaign was developed in collaboration with creative agency Harrison Carloss. The campaign was anchored by an upgraded digital Door Designer tool, which has recently been upgraded to include an AI visualiser, realistically showing homeowners what their new door will look like.
The platform gives homeowners full creative control with over four million designs, panel options, glass designs, and a range of hardware, while simultaneously driving high-value, pre-qualified consumer leads straight to the brand’s dedicated fabricator and installer network.
Jo Trotman, Sales and Marketing Manager at The Residence Collection, commented:
“We are absolutely delighted to take home two major trophies at this year’s National Fenestration Awards. Winning Timber Alternative Company of the Year is an incredible endorsement of the engineering and design excellence behind R9, R7, and R², proving that heritage aesthetics and 21st-century thermal performance can go hand-in-hand.
“Equally, securing Digital Marketing Campaign of the Year validates our ongoing commitment to supporting our trade partners. By pairing creative marketing with innovative tools like our Door Designer, our goal is to inspire homeowners while making the quoting and specification journey simpler, faster, for our installers. We want to extend a huge thank you to everyone across the fenestration industry who cast their votes for us; we genuinely appreciate it.”
