4 kmas the crow flies from the showroom
In shortKozijnen Wassenaar supplies and fits uPVC (kunststof) and aluminium windows and front doors in Kerkehout, east of the Rijksstraatweg in Wassenaar. You choose at our showroom at Langstraat 52a, we measure up free of charge and send a quote within 24 hours. Kerkehout is a protected conservation area, so we first check what the municipality requires for your address.
If you need new windows in Kerkehout, Wassenaar, you most likely live in a terraced or end-of-terrace house from one of the village’s first social housing schemes. The neighbourhood lies east of the Rijksstraatweg and Nieuw Wassenaar and grew up beside the Jewish cemetery of 1906. From 1919 a garden village rose here: low-rise homes with gardens and shared green space.
The houses were built for people working on the villa estates and country houses nearby; Hélène Kröller-Müller of Groot Haesebroek rented some for her staff. The Wassenaarsche Bouwstichting housing foundation still owns the homes in the core.
Statistics Netherlands (CBS) counts just over 530 homes and about 1,080 residents in Kerkehout. More than half are mid-terrace, a fifth end-of-terrace and another fifth flats. Almost four in ten homes predate 1945, a quarter date from 1945 to 1965, and about two thirds are rented.
The first blocks, from 1919, are by A. Broese van Groenou: 41 homes and two shops, mostly single-storey under red tiles, with timber windows, frames and doors, a transom light (bovenlicht) over each front door and dormers with a mono-pitch roof. In 1928 the practice Granpré Molière, Verhagen & Kok followed with ladder-glazed front doors; on those blocks most windows and doors have since been replaced.
Kerkehout lies within the national conservation area of the Wassenaar estates zone, designated in 2007, and the municipality calls the pre-war blocks the backbone of the streetscape. With new windows, what counts is what you see from the street: the pattern of fixed and opening sections, the transom and the colour.
From a farm drive to a 1985 block of flats: the neighbourhood grew in stages.
Originally the drive to De Kerkewoning farm, named Het Kerkehout since 1920. At number 6 lies the Jewish cemetery with its purification house, a national monument. Towards the polder stand the seventeenth-century Kerkewoning with half shutters and De Nieuwe Kerkewoning from 1909.
The garden village began here in 1919. On the odd side of Louisestraat, two blocks have a pale yellow rendered front, timber windows with glazing bars and timber canopies hung from iron rods.
The fourteen blocks of 1928 stand neither parallel nor square to each other, a Granpré Molière trademark. The result is angled streets and a wedge-shaped square by Adrianastraat, framed by tall pitched roofs and sturdy chimneys.
The first flats came in 1985: a three-storey block curving with the bend into Van Bommellaan. Towards the small enclave of Persijn, Van Bommellaan has semi-detached houses from around 1926 with bay windows.
North of the core lie the Pluymesteijn, Hagenhorst and Maarheeze estates. To the east, the old beach ridge gives way to polder, with a string of farms running out to the Veenwatering.
In a row of identical houses, one odd window stands out. So we keep the layout: the same fixed and opening sections, the transom and a colour that matches the neighbours. uPVC comes in white, cream, other colours or a woodgrain foil such as Golden Oak. We check beforehand what is allowed in your street.
When some of the homes were renovated, the transoms above the doors were given HR++ glass. Include them, and the dormer windows, in your plan. HR++ is standard; triple glazing with warm-edge spacers insulates better, means less condensation along the glass edge and costs about € 90 per m² more.
On a terraced house, the front door is much of the façade. Choose from 144 panel designs, with a straight or arched transom, glazing bars and clear or obscure glass. SKG-certified hardware (RC2) and multi-point locking make the door burglar-resistant.
If you rent, ask your landlord first. In a flat, check what the owners’ association (VvE) has agreed about the façade. Own a terraced or corner house? Book the free measuring visit.
Usually not, as long as the look of the façade stays the same. In the conservation area there are rules on profiles, glazing bars and colour. We check what the municipality requires for your address before you choose.
Talk to your landlord first, because the frames are part of the building. Many homes at the heart of Kerkehout belong to the Wassenaarsche Bouwstichting. If you own your home, we measure up free of charge.
uPVC in a woodgrain foil gives a timber look without painting. Aluminium is powder-coated in any RAL colour, and Reynaers SlimLine 38 has very slim profiles suited to listed buildings.
Installation is charged per running metre of frame, about € 105 excluding VAT. On the first floor 15% is added, with scaffolding 30%. The final price follows after measuring up.

During the free measuring visit we check how the frame meets the brickwork and sill and photograph the façade, so the new layout lines up with the rest of the terrace. The quote follows within 24 hours. uPVC takes 4 to 6 weeks, aluminium 6 to 10 weeks. Our own team installs on a fixed date and takes the old frames away. Aftercare stays close by, and if your glazing qualifies, we help with the ISDE subsidy.
