What makes flush sash windows perfect for conservation areas?

If you live in an older neighbourhood or a conservation area, you know that it can be hard to make changes to your home without losing some of its character. This is especially true when it comes to window replacement.

Many of these older houses have windows with timber frames. They look beautiful but are very hard to maintain. They can also be draughty and not very energy efficient. Flush sash windows in Stamford are a good alternative here. They give you the classic look of timber windows but have modern features. Here’s what you need to know:

Flush sash windows retain the traditional window style.

Flush sash windows are popular because they preserve the traditional style that people love. With older timber windows, the moving part of the window lines up smoothly with the outer frame. That is where the “flush” part comes from. Modern flush sash windows copy that same look and are designed to feel like the windows that have always been there.

BWDC supplies and installs Liniar’s flush sash windows, which are made to look just like wood. The frames have a soft woodgrain texture and are shaped in a way that looks natural. You might not even realise they are not real timber.

But they are made from uPVC, which does not swell up or rot. You don’t need to paint it either. And because these windows are built with multi-chambered profiles, they also insulate a lot better than the original wood windows.

They are usually approved for conservation areas.

If you want to change your windows and you live in a conservation area, you usually have to stick to the original style. That is where flush sash windows help a lot. They don’t look out of place, and that is one of the main reasons councils tend to say yes to them.

BWDC also offers flush sash windows in a range of heritage-friendly colours. You can get them in Chartwell Green, Cream and Rosewood. These colours are bonded to the frame during manufacturing, so the windows last longer and look more natural.

These windows are easy to live with.

BWDC’s flush sash windows are beautiful but they are efficient too. These windows come with A+ energy ratings, and you can pick double or triple glazing. They trap heat inside the home and block out outside noise to make your home a more comfortable place to live.

They are also easy to clean. All you need is some warm water and a cloth. And they are secure. You can choose strong locks and even add child safety features if you need them.
