45+ Years of Crafting Windows and Doors in Bristol: CR Windows

In 1978, two brothers set up shop in Kingswood, Bristol, with a simple aim: to build windows and doors that homeowners could truly rely on. Nearly half a century later, much has changed: the factory is bigger, the technology is sharper, and the range of products is broader than ever at CR Windows.

However, the ethos of providing quality and reliability to homeowners has remained our number one priority. That’s why we continue to manufacture every single window and door in our own facility, right here in Bristol.

Built to Last in Bristol

You might be surprised to learn how many ‘local’ suppliers outsource their windows. At CR Windows, we’ve never gone down that route. By manufacturing in-house, we keep control of quality and guarantee consistency for every customer.

Our Bristol-based factory means:

  • Better precision because we manage every detail ourselves.
  • Faster lead times for custom designs.
  • Support for local skills and jobs in the community.

And because we’re just down the road, we’re here to support you long after installation is complete. That’s the benefit of choosing a company with roots in your area. No distant call centres, just friendly experts who are happy to help with any query.

Experience You Can Trust

Forty-seven years is a long time to be in business, and it’s given us plenty of experience to draw on. Many of our team members have been with us for decades, so they know our products inside and out and are quick to share practical advice when helping you choose the right style or finish.

That experience also helps when things aren’t straightforward. Whether it’s designing a custom bay window for an older home or finding ways to improve energy efficiency in a listed property, we’ve done it all. For us, no two jobs are alike, and every challenge is a chance to do what we do best, deliver great results with a personal touch.

A Style for Every Home

Homes come in all shapes and sizes, so one window style won’t fit every property. That’s why we design and make a wide variety of windows and doors to suit different architectural needs.

Looking to preserve the charm of a Victorian terrace? Our box sash windows offer period character with modern performance. Prefer something more contemporary? Tilt-and-turn windows provide a clean, minimalist aesthetic and excellent ventilation. Then there are our classic casements, versatile bay designs, and extensive door range, from composite front doors to sleek patio options.

Every order is built to your exact specifications, right down to the colour, handles, and glazing options. It’s not ‘off the shelf’, it’s custom-made for your home.

Efficiency and Sustainability as Standard

Energy efficiency is no longer a bonus in home improvement; it’s essential. That’s why our windows and doors are A-rated as standard, accredited by the British Fenestration Rating Council (BFRC). These products help keep heat inside during winter, block out excess heat in summer, and reduce your overall energy use.

What does that mean for you? Lower bills, a more comfortable home, and a reduced carbon footprint. And because we manufacture on-site, we also cut down on transportation emissions and reduce waste wherever possible.

This focus on sustainability isn’t new; it’s part of how we’ve worked for years. But with rising energy costs and increased environmental awareness, it’s more relevant than ever.

Quality You Can See and Feel

Anyone can claim “quality”, but proving it is the real challenge. Every product leaving our Kingswood factory is built using premium UPVC and advanced manufacturing techniques, delivering long-lasting strength and performance.

That quality shows in practical ways:

  • Multi-point locks and robust frames for peace of mind.
  • Excellent acoustic insulation to reduce outside noise.
  • Low-maintenance finishes that keep their look year after years.

We are so confident in our craftsmanship that we include a 10-year guarantee on all windows and doors manufactured and installed by our team.

A Focus on Customer Experience

Windows and doors are a big investment, and we want you to feel good about your decision every step of the way. That’s why our approach is built on clear communication and genuine support.

From your first phone call to the final installation, you’ll deal with friendly, knowledgeable people who know their trade. We’ll walk you through options, explain the benefits of different materials and finishes, and keep you updated on progress without the jargon. And after installation, we’re still only a phone call away if you need advice or aftercare.

This dedication to service has helped us build long-standing relationships with customers, many of whom come back to us decades later or recommend us to friends and family.

Why Longevity Matters

A business doesn’t stay around for 45+ years by accident. It takes consistency, resilience, and a focus on doing things right. Over the decades, we’ve seen design trends come and go, technology evolve, and new materials emerge, and we’ve adapted every step of the way while holding firm to our core principles.

That means when you choose CR Windows, you’re choosing more than a product; you’re choosing a company that’s proven its reliability, weathered industry changes, and stayed true to its customers. Our longevity can be attributed to the trust we’re so proud to have built.

Looking to the Future

While we’re proud of our past, we’re just as excited about the future. Investment in new equipment and processes means we can manufacture even more efficient, sustainable products. We’re also expanding our design range to give customers more choice and flexibility than ever before.

But some things won’t change: our commitment to local manufacturing, exceptional service, and being a name you can count on in Bristol and beyond.
