Window Designer
helps installers
sell colour choice
Residence 9 (R9) has added a Window Designer
feature to its website. Homeowners can now
choose a property similar to their own in style
and see the transformation with R9 windows.
60% of R9 windows
are a colour other than
foiled grained white,
so homeowners and
installers will find
Window Designer very
useful.
It enables homeowners to
try different colour combination windows on a home
that is similar to theirs.
They can see what it will
look like from the comfort
of their own home. When
they submit their design, it
is sent directly to R9 and to
their own email address, so
they can refer to it later.
Homeowners are then
prompted to use the postcode search on the website
to get quotes from their
local R9 installers.

their home, not just close
up in a showroom.”
