Do Sash Windows Add Value to Your Property?
Sash windows have a classic aesthetic that exudes a vintage charm. Commonly installed on period properties, timber sash windows are timeless but, unfortunately, they cause many problems for modern homeowners. If you are thinking about selling your heritage home or adding a traditional spark, you may be wondering – do sash windows add value to a property? The short answer is yes, but let’s delve a little deeper into the reasons why.
Original Frames Bring a Timeless Aesthetic
Properties built in the Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian eras often featured sliding sash windows. The pane configurations changed slightly across these three historical periods and different decorative features were popular at various times. Properties with authentic wooden frames can be desirable to buyers looking for a home with vintage character and you may find the original sash windows boost the price of your property when you decide to sell.
Timber frames have the desirable appearance but are known to be susceptible to rotting, discolouration, warping and other weather damage. If you have looked after your home’s original windows over the years, regularly cleaning them and painting the frames when needed, you could expect them to add value to your property. However, as timber frames are prone to rotting and their poor heat retention can cause damp inside your home, they can have a negative impact on your home’s sale price.
Authentic Sash Window Replacements
At Roseview, we recognise that original sash windows can be high maintenance and difficult to keep in good condition. We also appreciate that when it comes to windows, nothing has quite the same appeal as sash windows with their sliding panes and decorative features. Our Rose Collection blends traditional style with modern performance, allowing homeowners to bring heritage charm to their home without losing out on the modern benefits of contemporary uPVC.
The Rose Collection features three sash window profiles: Ultimate Rose, Heritage Rose and Charisma Rose. Each model is made bespoke to meet your specific requirements. From our various finishes, you can opt for woodgrain on all three styles to add touch of timber authenticity. We are proud to offer timber alternative sash windows that are completely indistinguishable from the originals.
Original timber frames do look beautiful but unless they are in excellent condition, they won’t make a positive difference to the value of your property. In comparison, windows in the Rose Collection are designed to eradicate all the common problems associated with traditional timber frames. Our uPVC sash windows have a robust and durable design and are built to stay in perfect condition for many years to come. All windows in the Rose Collection feature industry leading double glazing, which provides excellent levels of thermal efficiency all year round.
The innovative technology we use to manufacture our sash windows can keep your home at a comfortable temperature every day of the year and improve the overall energy efficiency of your property. Potential buyers will be drawn to the authentic aesthetic of your sash windows and be completely sold once they discover the many benefits of uPVC. They may not be the original sash windows installed hundreds of years ago, but our Rose Collection frames are a desirable property feature for many homeowners.
Sash Windows Enhance Homes & Increase Their Value
Whether you have authentic timber sash windows or modern uPVC frames, this window style will work in your favour if you are considering putting your home on the market. Sash windows have a timeless appeal and can bring personality to properties of all shapes and sizes. Whether you are selling a quaint cottage or a towering town house, sash windows will draw in interest and push up the value of your property.
The three models in our Rose Collection each offer something different when it comes to design and style, but they all have exceptional performance in common. When you choose sash windows made and designed by Roseview, you are investing in windows that are durable, aesthetically authentic and built to last. uPVC is easy to maintain, and the multi-chambered profiles offer impressive noise reduction and feature effective weatherproofing technology.
All three models in the Rose Collection can be upgraded to include Secured by Design double glazing. This optional upgrade provides homeowners with the peace of mind that their new double glazing surpasses industry standards.
Providing they are not damaged beyond repair or negatively impacting your property, sash windows will add value to your home. Traditional timber frames are desired for their appearance, but the many benefits of uPVC sash windows make them the better option in terms of longevity, security and durability.
