Sash windows vs Casements – which one’s the right fitting?
There’s been much debate on the benefits of sash windows and casement windows. Each style has its place and which type of window you choose will depend greatly on your property style. If you live in a modern property, you may prefer casement windows for their high security levels and superior insulating capacity. If, however, you live in a period property, sash windows will be the best fit for you. Sash windows help to maintain a building’s period aesthetic and uphold the character of the area.
Why choose the Rose Collection sash windows?
If you live in a period property with traditional timber windows that need replacing, have you considered uPVC timber effect windows? The Rose Collection sash windows are designed to replicate the look of traditional timber. They provide all the benefits of modern materials while helping to retain your home’s heritage character.
Traditional timber frames are attractive but over time they become worn and no longer function as well. They can become susceptible to draughts, rattling sashes, and problems with damp. Replacing with casement windows is possible but probably won’t be the best match for a period property. Casement windows have a limited opening capacity with restricted ventilation. When it comes to older properties, replacement sash windows are the best choice.
Rose Collection sash windows provide:
- ‘A’ Window Energy Rating as standard
- Enhanced levels of security
- Choice of traditional ironmongery and hardware
- White, woodgrain, or alternative colour frames
- Wide opening capacity for excellent ventilation
- Slim sight lines for extensive exterior views
- Low maintenance easy clean finish
