Look at any Victorian or Edwardian property, and it’s likely they will be glazed using timber sash windows. In 2013, uPVC options are now available, and come with a number of benefits. In today’s post, Hamilton Windows will be exploring the main advantages of choosing this classic design for your home or office.
Visually appealing vertical sliding windows
uPVC sash windows offer a beautiful glazing option. Elegant and streamlined, they’ll complement your home’s décor, and create an inviting appearance for visitors to your property.
Ideal in a period context
If you thought new windows would compromise the aesthetics of your period property, think again! Made from moveable panels, sash windows mimic the traditional appearance of their timber equivalents from days gone by. As such, they’re sure to match classic properties perfectly.
Remember, if your home is more contemporary in its style, sash windows can also make a suitable accompaniment with their clean lines and timeless elegance.
Excellent energy efficiency
One of the real benefits of uPVC sash windows is that although they are as aesthetically pleasing as their old-fashioned counterparts, they offer none of the disadvantages. uPVC sash windows, for example, offer excellent energy efficiency, as their double glazing means heat doesn’t so readily leave buildings in the winter months. This is effective in keeping energy bills down, which is great news for both your bank account and the environment!
Easy to open sash windows
Where some of the older sash windows were stiff and hard to open, Hamilton Windows’ uPVC sash windows incorporate a counterbalanced system, which ensures that they’re always easy to open and close.
Effective cooling of interiors
Sash windows also allow excellent climate control in the summer months. Because they can be opened from both the top and the bottom, hot air is able to escape through the top section, while cooler air enters below and effectively ventilates your home.
