Why choose uPVC sash windows over timber?
While it is one of the most affordable window option materials available, it excels in its performance. uPVC is one of the nation's most popular materials as it's highly durable and robust so they'll continue to perform like new regardless of the weather conditions, whilst keeping your home protected from forced entry. It's maintenance-free too, so unlike timber, you won't need to apply wood protection to protect the frames. They're able to achieve low U-values and A+ energy ratings, ensuring they will improve your home’s energy efficiency.
What's the difference between sash and casement windows?
The main difference between sash and casement windows is how they open. Casement windows are hinged on one side and swing outward, allowing for full ventilation and an unobstructed view. In contrast, sash windows have sliding panels, or "sashes," that move vertically within the frame, limiting ventilation to either the top or bottom section. While casement windows provide excellent airflow and a modern look, sash windows offer a classic aesthetic often found in traditional homes.
Why do people like sash windows?
People appreciate sash windows for their timeless charm and practicality. Their classic design adds character to both traditional and modern homes, while the vertical sliding mechanism allows for controlled ventilation. Sash windows also maximise natural light, maintain historical authenticity, and can be upgraded for improved energy efficiency, making them a stylish and functional choice.
