Can you get uPVC sash windows?

Yes you can. uPVC sash windows or vertical uPVC sliding sash windows have a classic design and elegant appearance that add a traditional charm to character homes, especially from the Victorian era. uPVC windows are considerably cheaper than timber and are designed to look and function exactly like the traditional sash window. Features including sash horns, grained profiles and traditional furniture really do make it hard to tell the difference.

What's the difference between sash and casement windows?

Sash windows slide vertically, casement windows generally operate like a door, they can open either inwards and outwards. Older sash windows are usually harder to clean although most new ones can be specified with a tilt back option for easier cleaning. The operating mechanism of a sash window is more complex than a casement window.

Can I replace sash windows with casement windows?

Before changing the design of any window it is always worth thinking about the character of the property. If the property is in a conservation area or is the building listed? If this is the case then it may not be possible to change to a modern windows without the need of planning permission. Even changing from single glazing to double glazing can be a problem with listed buildings. Sash windows are generally different dimensions to a conventional modern windows, so casements may not work so well with the dimensions of the older style of window. Finally changing the style could have an impact on your house value and could also make your home less desirable to future owners, if you decided to sell it.

How much does a sash window cost?

A question that is not easily answered. An average sash window is normally around 900mm in width and just over 1500mm tall, however the sizes can be much bigger and even smaller, this of course has a bearing on the installed cost. As a guide a uPVC sliding sash window start at around the £900 mark, a timber window is in excess of £2200, both prices include fitting and VAT (prices from 2019 price guide)

How does a sash window work?

Sash windows normally comprise of two vertically sliding sashes, the top one sliding down and the bottom one sliding up, meaning you are left with approximately half the opening as a maximum. This can be some at the top and some ventilation at the bottom at the same time. Modern windows normally have a tilt back facility for cleaning and can have a lock to limit the opening to enhance security and easy access from the outside. This provides peace of mind for ground floor windows. Older timber sash windows were counter-balanced by a weight attached via a cord to the sash, the weight of both being about equal, to ease moving the sash. Modern windows tend to be manufactured with a spiral balance spring to achieve the same process. This of course is a cheaper option as some of the old weights were made from lead.

Astragal Bars & Low E Glass

Astragal bars are an excellent choice because they can fit any product by facing the glass externally. They improve the look of your windows while giving them a traditional Georgian appearance. Intervals on double-glazed sealed units will provide the window with a multi-pane appearance.
