White uPVC Lorimer windows and doors transform home in Bathgate

Edinburgh, the Lothians & Borders

When upgrading your windows and doors, there is a lot more to it than meets the eye. Enhancing a property’s kerb appeal is one bonus to upgrading to new windows and doors; the real benefits come from within.

At CR Smith, we aim to achieve both aspects, from enhancing your home’s functionality and performance to elevating its kerb appeal. Lorimer windows have been designed with you in mind, meaning you get the best of both worlds. Ms Wallace is a perfect example of someone who wants to improve their home’s energy efficiency while enhancing its looks. In this case study, we will discover how new Lorimer windows and doors have enhanced her home’s functionality, performance and kerb appeal. 


Before: A home that needed a lift

Like many older Bathgate houses, this home had started to lose some of its sparkle. The original windows and front door were functional but tired, with poor insulation and no real impact on the home’s character. The homeowners wanted something more welcoming, warmer and in keeping with the style of their property.


Choosing new CR Smith products

After receiving the CR Smith brochure, full of our products and how they can enhance your home’s function and style, she decided that upgrading to new Lorimer windows and a new front door was the ideal option for her home. 

The goal was simple:

  • Brighten up the front of the house,
  • Improve comfort inside, and 
  • Add a little ‘wow factor’ for anyone walking past.

The clean white frames of the Lorimer windows instantly modernised the look, while the new door feels solid, secure, and inviting. 


After: A transformation you can see and feel

The difference is striking. 

Before, the front of the house looked plain and a little dated. The mismatched window styles and an old door didn’t reflect the care and pride the homeowner had for the rest of their home. 

After, the house feels refreshed and full of life. The slim white frames complement the brickwork beautifully, and the larger glass panels bring in more natural light. The crisp new door ties everything together; it’s not just an entrance, but a real feature. Even the garden feels brighter against the fresh new look. 


Every day benefits

It’s not just about appearances. The new Lorimer windows and door have made a noticeable difference inside: 

  • Warmer homes: Less heat escaping means cosy winters and lower energy bills. 
  • Peace of mind: Advanced security features help the homeowners feel safer. 
  • Easy upkeep: No more endless painting or repairs, just a quick clean to keep them looking new. 


Expertly installed

From design to installation, everything was handled by the CR Smith team. The homeowners were impressed with the attention to detail and the smooth, hassle-free process. 

Now, instead of blending into the street, their home stands out for all the right reasons. It’s a transformation that shows how the right windows and door can completely change not just the look of a house, but how it feels to live in.
