How Do uPVC Sash Windows Look Like Wooden Sash Windows? 

The Rose Collection uPVC sash windows are renowned for their authenticity. Even for a glazing specialist, it is difficult to differentiate between an original wooden sash window and a uPVC sash window from the Rose Collection. In terms of aesthetics, they are designed to replicate that classic real wooden sash window look. Combine this with the performance levels of a modern uPVC sash window, and you can’t go wrong.

You may be wondering how a uPVC sash window can look like real wood. The true answer is there are many factors that go together to create the Rose Collection. Let’s take a closer look at the essential elements of a Rose Collection uPVC sash window.

Most Authentic uPVC Sash Windows

With the Rose Collection, the devil really is in the detail. Perhaps the first thing you notice about a real wooden sash window is the natural wood grain. The Rose Collection uPVC sash windows – Ultimate Rose, Heritage Rose and Charisma Rose – are available in a range of coloured woodgrain foils. For a classic painted look, White Woodgrain is tasteful and effective. If you want a more colourful option, The Rose Collection offers a wide variety of colour options to help you make the perfect choice.

Traditional wooden sash windows can be easily identified by their slimline frames. Standard uPVC sash windows often have wider frames which can impact the amount of glass in the frames. Thanks to recent developments in technology, Rose Collection has been able to fabricate super slimline uPVC frames to replicate the traditional timber aesthetic. With a slim mid-rail and the option to add your choice of astragal bar configurations, the Rose Collection are the industry’s most timber authentic uPVC sash windows.

uPVC sash windows with the traditional timber touch

To the untrained eye, some of the finer traditional wooden sash window details can easily be overlooked. For real authenticity, however, these details are essential. Run through sash horns are integral to a wooden sash window design. Originally used to strengthen the window’s joints and prevent the sash from opening too far, with uPVC, they are purely aesthetic but help to recreate that heritage sash window appearance.

Traditional timber windows were often hand crafted and featured distinctive corner welds known as mechanical sash joints. The Rose Collection uPVC sash windows are fabricated to reflect the original techniques used in timber window manufacture perfectly. The mechanical joints on our uPVC sash windows are the finishing touch that makes them stand out from the crowd.
