The Pros & Cons of uPVC Sash Windows
The Rose Collection consists of 3 market leading, timber authentic uPVC sash windows: Ultimate Rose, Heritage Rose & Charisma Rose. These three models are carefully engineered and crafted to replicate original timber sash windows. They are indistinguishable from their traditional models and provide all the thermal and practical benefits of modern uPVC.
Regardless of their authentic design, our sash windows pros include a timeless appeal that can be tailored to the needs of various houses. Charisma Rose is the best option if you want to upgrade the old windows of a contemporary property. It adds a unique, modern charm that many homeowners repeatedly find aesthetically pleasing!
Benefit from Timber Authentic Windows
What’s more, our sash windows collection boosts the historical features of homes and listed buildings. If you are looking to add a touch of 19th century elegance to your vintage home, then the Ultimate Rose or Heritage Rose will be perfect! Unlike other designs, the Ultimate Rose is the only model in the UK to possess Roseview’s exclusive seahorse run-through sash horns – so you can truly replicate traditional hardwood sash windows with this optional feature!
Regardless of your chosen model, you can have confidence that you will receive high performance, energy efficient and traditional aesthetic designs as standard!
Unmatched Window Security
Security is an important feature to consider when starting a home improvement project. That’s why our uPVC sash windows are manufactured with this as a priority in mind. As a standard, all three windows in our range are built with high-strength locks for your safety & security.
When security is of particular concern, consider upgrading your windows and glass to comply with the requirements of Secured by Design. This status means that your new frames will be installed with advanced security features and undergo various tests. Another optional quality is our laminate glazing and opening restrictors. So you can rest assured that despite looking similar to authentic timber windows, your home can benefit from the latest security features and 21st century levels of protection!
Unbeatable Thermal Efficiency
A con of original sash windows is that they are constricted with only single glazing. With the current climate and increased cost of energy bills, you don’t need to worry about your traditional replicated uPVC sash windows being thermally inefficient. Thanks to technological advancements and multi-chambered profiles, we provide uPVC sash windows that are indistinguishable from timber but provide 21st century modern performance!
Our Rose Collection consists of insulated frames and enhanced double glazing to effectively prevent heat loss and noise pollution and protect your home. All three of them are also A-rated. So, the warmth is kept within your home while blocking the ingress of cold air. When you invest in our uPVC sash windows, you are guaranteed to save money on energy bills and have the highest thermal performance all year round!
Benefit from Low Maintenance Windows
The vintage charm of original timber frames is unbeatable. Unfortunately, a known con for timber windows is that they need regular maintenance and repainting every four to six years. By choosing our timber alternative range, you can benefit from their low maintenance properties and still have the classic look of timber frames.
Since uPVC is a high quality and durable material, our sash windows can withstand wear. Unlike timber, they will not discolour or flake regardless of weather exposure. These features make our sash windows easy to look after and increase the life of your windows to decades. We also offer a 10 year product warranty. So, regardless of which product you pick from our Rose Collection, feel confident that they are built to last and maintain their stunning look!
uPVC Sash Windows for Conservation Areas
As mentioned above, there are many uPVC sash window pros. From thermal efficiency all the way to security and durability, uPVC sash windows are a great choice to add value to your property. However, there is a possible modern sash windows con.
If you don’t know, a conservation area is a preserved region which is determined due to its important architectural or historical interests. So, if you are lucky enough to own a property in such areas, there will be restrictions when it comes to carrying out home improvement projects.
When installing sash windows, you must consult and receive permission from your local authority first. This does not necessarily mean we cannot install the Rose Collection for properties in conservation areas. In fact, there are countless success stories across the UK where our sash windows have been considered suitable for conservation areas. Due to our unbeatable timber authenticity, we exceed council standards even in some of the most sensitive areas.
Though you still need permission from the local conservation officer to install sash windows, with the Rose Collection, you get a headstart. We take pride in having a proactive approach and protecting our customers from unauthorised work or unlimited fines.
We are always on hand and committed to supporting you throughout your renovation. If you have any questions in regard to conservation areas or anything else, get in touch with our friendly expert team.
