As part of its commitment to supporting architects and specifiers with their professional development, George Barnsdale is pleased to announce the date of its latest CPD webinar, ‘Honouring the Past, Building for the Future: Compliance in Timber Windows Conservation’.
The free CPD webinar, which takes place on the 24th September at 11am, will explore the nuances of designing and installing timber windows that maintain historical integrity while adhering to conservation requirements and building regulations. This session aims to provide practical guidance for architects, specifiers, and conservation professionals, demonstrating that heritage restoration and compliance can go hand in hand, without sacrificing authenticity, performance, or aesthetic appeal.
As well as the above, the session aims to cover the following:
- Navigating Compliance: Understanding the legal and regulatory framework for listed buildings and conservation areas, ensuring new windows meet the imposed guidelines.
- The Benefits of Timber Windows: Examining longevity, sustainability, paint processes, and why timber remains the ideal material for heritage window restoration.
- Achieving Flexibility Within Constraints: How thoughtful design and material selection allow for customisation without compromising historical accuracy or regulatory demands.
- Lessons from Experience: Insights and case studies drawn from real-world historic building projects, showcasing challenges and solutions.
Stephen Wright, Chairman at George Barnsdale, will be hosting the company’s latest webinar and will guide the session to focus on conservation and how you can replicate a historic building with new timber windows, whilst maintaining the character of the building, all whilst remaining compliant.
The company’s passion goes beyond timber windows and doors and runs deep into protecting and restoring the UK’s rich architectural heritage. Having assisted architects and builders navigate strict planning consent and supplied and installed some of London’s most prestigious buildings steeped in history, the team have an in-depth understanding and can share valuable insights. Whether you are specifying windows in a Georgian townhouse, traditional barn or historic building, you will leave with an understanding of conservation requirements and how to navigate the delicate balance between compliance, visual identity and performance.
