Replacing timber windows with uPVC in a conservation area
For properties within a conservation are we would suggest contacting your conservation officer in regards to permissions.
In instances where maintaining the traditional aesthetics is of the utmost importance, we would recommend our Heritage Rose and Ultimate Rose sash windows. Both are virtually indistinguishable from timber and have already been accepted in numerous conservation areas including Torfaen Council, Isle of Wight Conservation and Lake District National Park.
Will your replacement windows match my existing timber windows?
Yes, we can install PVC-u vertical sliders to match your existing timber windows. This allows you to keep the original appearance of your home whilst increasing your property’s security and thermal efficiency.
Will uPVC vertical sliders jam?
Over time a timber window will start to jam, and will need replacing which can be a nuisance. The Heritage and Charisma Rose systems are engineered to function smoothly year after year, so unlike timber windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing it due to sticking or jamming.
Will the colour of my uPVC vertical sliders fade over time?
Some problems we have noticed with cheaper uPVC windows is discolouration. To eliminate this problem, the Heritage and Charisma Rose is manufactured using high quality PVCU, giving the windows long lasting colour that will look brand new year after year.
Why choose uPVC sash windows?
The old reasoning behind choosing uPVC over timber as a material was the maintenance free practicality and the more cost effective nature of uPVC, while there was an acceptance that the aesthetics would suffer. Times have changed! There has been many further design developments over the years and with our experience and consultation with various conservation departments we have designed our windows to keep the maintenance free aspect and practicality while retaining the period feel of an original timber sash. In fact many neighbours of installations comment believing they are in fact timber!
