Can uPVC Authentically Replicate Timber Windows?

Authentic timber windows have a unique yet classic style and individual character. They are found in period properties across the UK and have become a part of the national heritage. Unfortunately, over time, they start to deteriorate from becoming thermally inefficient, posing security risks, chipping and rotting and many more issues that give homeowners headaches. 

But when the time comes to get a sash window replacement, you can count on the Rose Collection to truly replicate authentic timber windows and fit different period styles of homes. Our range includes three different sash window styles: Ultimate Rose, Heritage Rose and Charisma Rose.

With their woodgrain foil finishes, our uPVC sliding sash windows are highly indistinguishable from authentic timber windows. As well as having advanced performance due to being made from robust uPVC profiles. This expert guide discusses whether our uPVC sliding sash windows do justice when it comes to timber sash window replacement. Read on to find out more.

Rose Collection uPVC Sliding Sash Windows

When replacing authentic timber windows, you could opt for a traditional sash window replacement. New timber windows, however, are expensive and will need regular maintenance to keep them in the best condition. You may be surprised to hear of a uPVC sliding sash window as an alternative, which is both visually authentic and provides modern levels of performance to suit 21st century living standards.

uPVC sliding sash windows from the Rose Collection are designed to replicate the original period style of timber sash windows down to the finest detail. In terms of performance, they meet stringent industry regulations for both thermal efficiency and security. They have a low maintenance and durable finish, which will protect your home from the elements and never require sanding down and repainting like their natural wood predecessors.
