Heritage Windows

What Are Heritage Windows?

Heritage windows are designed to mimic the appearance of traditional timber windows, making them ideal for period properties and conservation areas. These windows incorporate authentic details such as:

• Flush External Contours: Replicates the seamless look of classic timber frames.
• Georgian Bar Options: Adds traditional charm and character to your windows.
• Woodgrain Finishes: Choose from a variety of natural wood effects, including Rosewood, Chartwell Green, and English Oak, to perfectly match your property.

At Emerald Windows, we offer three sash styles to suit a range of property types:

1. Flush Sash: Designed to sit flush with the frame for a sleek, elegant look.
2. Sculptured Sash: Features outward-opening sashes that stand proud of the frame, creating a more traditional profile.
3. Chamfered Sash: Combines sharp contours with subtle styling, suitable for modern and period properties alike.

Benefits of Heritage Windows

Our heritage windows are not only designed to complement the style of your home but also deliver exceptional functionality:

• Energy Efficiency
  Heritage windows from Emerald achieve A++ energy ratings and U-values as low as 1.2. This means better insulation, reduced heat loss, and lower energy bills, keeping your home warm and efficient year-round.

• Security Features
  Your safety is our priority. Heritage windows come with multi-point locking systems, internal beading, and hinge protectors, all of which meet PAS 24 standards for enhanced security.

• Low Maintenance
  Unlike traditional timber windows, our uPVC frames require minimal upkeep. They won’t rot, warp, or peel, ensuring a long-lasting, beautiful appearance.

• Customisation Options
  Choose from over 30 hand-picked colourways, authentic hardware options like monkey tail handles and peg stays, and decorative features such as Georgian bars. These details allow you to tailor your windows to your home’s unique character.

Heritage Windows for Conservation Areas

For homeowners in conservation areas or with listed properties, heritage windows provide a perfect solution. Designed to meet local planning requirements, these windows preserve the traditional appearance of your property while upgrading its performance with modern materials.

We recommend consulting your local planning officer before installation to ensure compliance. Emerald Windows has extensive experience working with heritage and conservation properties, and we’re here to guide you through the process.
