Meet LAYLA

At Chigwell Window Centre, we are dedicated to bringing you the finest in window innovation and design. We are excited to introduce LAYLA, our latest window system that epitomises modern advancement, luxurious refinement, and the timeless beauty of traditional timber craftsmanship.

LAYLA is more than a window system; it’s a fusion of timeless design and modern innovation.  Inspired designer windows that offer luxury, authenticity, and contemporary performance.

A Modern Masterpiece with Timeless Appeal

LAYLA is not just a window; it’s a statement of elegance and sophistication. Combining cutting-edge technology with a unique timber-look design, LAYLA offers the authentic appearance of fine joinery, complete with jointing and glazing bead options that replicate traditional woodworking techniques. This makes LAYLA the perfect choice for homeowners who desire the charm of classic timber windows without compromising on modern performance.

Understanding that attention to detail is paramount, LAYLA provides three jointing options that mirror the craftsmanship of traditional joinery:

• Fully Welded: This option is ideal for those who prefer the sleek appearance of mitred corners on both the frame and opening elements. It suits window styles where clean, angled joints enhance the overall aesthetic, offering a contemporary take on classic design.
• Full Mechanical: This option is identical to fine joinery, featuring a beautiful square joint at the outer frame. The sash meets the bead chamfer in a way that closely resembles traditional timber windows, providing an authentic and elegant look that complements both period properties and modern homes.
• Mechanical/Weld: Offering a unique blend, the outer frame is welded for strength and durability, while the opening sash is mechanically joined. This creates a fresh interpretation of the mitred window joint, combining the best of both worlds in aesthetics and performance.

Refinement in Every Detail

LAYLA’s commitment to authenticity continues after jointing. The window frames boast smooth contours and are available in a range of luxurious finishes, including woodgrain textures that mimic the look and feel of natural timber. This ensures that LAYLA enhances your home’s exterior and integrates seamlessly with your interior décor. The refinement of this outstanding window collection is also thanks to the reputation of the REHAU Rio profiles we use to craft your bespoke new windows with optional matching doors.

Bespoke Luxury Tailored to You

Every LAYLA window is crafted to your exact specifications, ensuring a bespoke solution that reflects your style:

• Exclusive Hardware: Choose from various designer handles and fittings in various styles and finishes, including options that emulate traditional timber window hardware.
• Glazing Options: Customise your windows with specialised glass, such as security glass for enhanced protection, solar control glass to regulate temperature, privacy glass for bathrooms, acoustic glass for noise reduction, or even triple glazing for superior insulation. Integral blinds can also be incorporated within the glazing units for added convenience and style.
• Glazing Beads: Choose from different glazing bead designs, including the new 28mm square-edged bead, which offers a contemporary look internally while maintaining a traditional appearance externally. Your new windows can be made to perfectly work with your house architecture, new or old.

Uncompromising Performance Meets Traditional Charm

While LAYLA exudes the charm, quality fit and finish of traditional timber windows, it also delivers the benefits of modern window materials and technology:

• Energy Efficiency: With advanced thermal insulation, LAYLA helps keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, contributing to lower energy bills and a reduced carbon footprint. Glass units have a soft-coat low-emissivity coating, warm edge spacer bars and argon gas fill.
• Security: LAYLA’s state-of-the-art multi-point locking systems and robust frames provide superior protection for your home and loved ones. We make your windows only with trusted locking systems, and robust key-operated handles.  Internal glazing beads mean you glass cannot be removed from the outside.
• Durability and Low Maintenance: Unlike traditional timber, LAYLA’s materials resist warping, rotting, and weathering, offering long-lasting beauty with minimal upkeep. This allows you to enjoy the timeless look of wood without the associated maintenance.
