How To Choose the Right Sash Window

Modern sash windows have many style and performance benefits, but choosing the best frames for your property isn’t always easy. If you are considering a sash window installation but are unsure which design is right for your home, this guide is here to help you to decide.

We offer the Rose Collection, which includes three uPVC sash window models: Ultimate Rose, Heritage Rose and Charisma Rose. All of our profiles are customisable and successfully blend 21st century performance with traditional style.

Windows in the Rose Collection can be used to replace outdated and damaged timber frames or as a new sash window installation in more recently built properties. Let’s take a closer look at each model in the Rose Collection so that you can choose the right sash windows for your property.

Choose Ultimate Rose For Authentic Style

The Ultimate Rose is the most authentic sash window design in the Rose Collection. It features the slimmest mid-rail on the market at only 35mm wide, true mechanical joints, a deep bottom rail and many other classic design features. If you are looking to replace timber sash window frames, the Ultimate Rose is a great solution. These seamlessly designed sash windows are the best timer-alternatives available on the market.

For true vintage aesthetics, the Ultimate Rose features a staff bead and traditional putty line detailing. For homeowners looking to achieve the timeless charm of timber frames, the Ultimate Rose is the best uPVC alternative available in the UK. This model can be customised to suit your home perfectly, and there are several authentic details available, keeping these sash windows as close to the original design as possible,

Although energy prices are rising in the UK, the Ultimate Rose has an A rating for thermal efficiency. These windows will keep warm air inside your home and prevent cold draughts – ensuring you enjoy optimal heat retention all year round. If you are looking for sash windows that are the perfect combination of authentic style and modern performance, look no further than the Ultimate Rose.

Choose Heritage Rose for Traditional Inspired Designs

Up close, the Ultimate Rose windows are the most authentic looking frames on the market today, but the Heritage Rose profiles are almost just as aesthetically accurate. While it is almost impossible to tell the Ultimate Rose apart from traditional timber sash windows, the Heritage Rose is still able to successfully replicate authentic timber frames and bring a timeless charm to properties of all ages.

Our Heritage Rose sash windows have also been used in conservation areas across the UK, including the Royal Borough of Kensington, Cambridge and many more.

If you are looking for a fully customisable sash window, the Heritage Rose can be personalised to your exact design requirements. Choose from a wide range of wood grain foil options, RAL colours and window accessories to create the perfect frames for your property. You can customise our entire collection, but the Heritage Rose oozes classic charm and style.

Choose Charisma Rose for a More Contemporary Appearance

The Charisma Rose is our ‘entry-level’ and most affordable model. These sash windows have a 60mm midrail and have fewer design features available as standard when compared to the Ultimate and Heritage Rose. For homeowners looking for sash windows with modern benefits and vintage style, the Charisma profiles are still a great solution.

Whether you are looking to upgrade the existing sash windows of a period property or add personality to a new build, the Charisma Rose is our most budget friendly sash window and has a more contemporary appearance than the other two models in the Rose Collection. That being said, these windows still have a classic aesthetic and will bring a look of retro-charm to every property they are installed in.
