Bath, known for its stunning Georgian architecture, has long been associated with the iconic sash window.
Today, uPVC vertical sash windows offer a solution for homeowners looking to preserve the authentic look of their Bath properties while enjoying the benefits of contemporary materials.
Read on to learn more about uPVC sash windows and their many benefits.
The Origins of Sash Windows
Sash windows first appeared in England during the late 17th century, coinciding with the Great Fire of London.
By the Georgian era, double-hung sash windows had become the norm, with two movable sashes counterbalanced by lead weights.
Bath’s architectural identity is rooted in the Georgian era, when the city underwent huge development.
The tall proportions and vertical openings of sash windows complemented the classic facade of Bath buildings typical of that era – hence why they’re so popular even today.
The Benefits of uPVC Vertical Sash Windows
While traditional timber sash windows are undeniably charming, they come with many practical challenges, including poor energy efficiency, high maintenance requirements, and limited security.
uPVC sash windows offer a solution that combines the authentic look of traditional sashes with the performance benefits of modern materials.
Here’s why:
Energy Efficiency
One key advantage of uPVC window systems is their superior thermal efficiency.
By combining multi-chambered profiles, weather-tight seals, and double-glazed windows, uPVC sash windows can vastly reduce heat loss and improve the comfort of your home.
Low Maintenance
uPVC sash double-glazed windows are incredibly low maintenance, requiring occasional cleaning to keep them looking their best.
Unlike timber windows, they won’t rot, warp, or flake and never need painting or staining.
Affordability
Another benefit of uPVC sash windows is their affordability compared to bespoke timber alternatives.
While still providing an authentic and high-quality appearance, uPVC sash windows are a more budget-friendly option to help you achieve the look you want without breaking the bank.
