What are your options when it comes to replacing heritage windows?

If your home has beautiful authentic timber windows which are past their best, you might be considering replacing them. You could choose timber windows. But did you know that there are alternatives which are indistinguishable from the real thing?

Timber alternative windows offer a wide range of benefits and are a superb alternative to timber:

• They require little to no maintenance. This means, whatever colour you choose, they don’t require repainting
• They will never rot or warp. When timber starts to rot, its efficiency and security can be compromised
• Timber alternative windows offer superb energy efficiency, helping heat stay in your home throughout the year
• With high quality locking mechanisms, security is always a priority
• High quality timber alternatives like ours regularly gain approval in conservation areas
• A whole range of heritage colours and wood finishes are available

We offer a range of heritage windows that can perform at the same level if not higher than timber.

Residence Collection

The prestigious Residence collection is a desirable choice for every home. Residence 9 is the luxury and authentic option that perfectly recreates a traditional flush sash window. Its name comes from the nine-chambered profile which provides excellent insulation, keeping your home comfortable all year round. This contributes to the low values of 0.8 which are amongst some of the lowest possible. These are the perfect windows that create 19th century aesthetics with 21st century performance.

Heritage

The Heritage range does exactly what its name suggests. A timber alternative window that brings back all the beauty of the windows of the past. A+ rated for efficiency, these windows offer high levels of insulation against draughts. With multi-point locking mechanisms, they surpass the requirements of PAS24 for security. Using a unique drainage system, these windows will protect your home against the elements as well as looking good. With a choice of flush, chamfered and sculptured, you can choose the window that is best for you.

Authentic doesn’t have to mean ineffective

If you live in a listed building or conservation area you will have strict rules over what you can and can’t alter. It’s best to check with your local authority to determine if you can change your windows. If not, secondary glazing could be your best option. This is where a glass panel is placed over your current windows to give you more insulation. With no need to touch your existing windows, your authentic wooden windows can be kept as they are.
