Installing new sash windows
The popularity of sash windows has grown throughout the centuries, with them being the standard choice for many homes that were built during the Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian eras. Although they are classed as a traditional style of window, they are still very popular with many homeowners today, this is mainly due to their grand design, which gives many properties a traditional feel.
Although sash windows are an extremely popular choice for many traditional, and among homeowners, there are a few downsides to owning a property with original, timber-based sash windows installed. One of the main downsides is their lack of energy efficiency, as the traditional windows are susceptible to damage, which can lead to unwanted drafts in your home. This makes sash windows a poor choice in terms of energy efficiency, as they can significantly increase your energy bills.
If the original sash windows in your property are damaged and are letting in drafts, then you may want to consider replacing them or seeking to get them repaired. Doing so will have a massive impact on the energy efficiency of your home, dramatically reducing your energy bills.
Here at Smart Sash Windows, we will be able to replace and restore your sash windows, helping you to maintain their original, authentic look, whilst ensuring their durability, energy efficiency, and security.
Below we are going to discuss a few reasons as to why you should consider replacing or restoring the sash windows on your property.
Why should you consider getting new sash windows?
Sash windows are often considered a centrepiece of many traditional homes. This is why it is crucial to maintain your sash windows, helping them to enhance the interior and exterior look of your home. Although many people want to maintain the original sash windows on their property, which is absolutely possible, it is also worth considering replacing your sash windows with a set of brand-new, modern sash windows. This will look exactly like the original windows, whilst improving the energy efficiency, and security of your home.
Improved lifetime thanks to quality materials
Traditional sash windows are vulnerable to damage, meaning they need to be maintained on a consistent basis to ensure that they don’t rot, break, or lets drafts into your home. Thanks to modern technological advances and better quality materials, the windows we provide at Smart Sash Windows are guaranteed to last much longer than your original sash windows. Using properly treated wood, which is supplied from our trusted sources, and using high-quality glass, we can ensure that your newly installed sash windows will be durable for many years to come.
Reduced Maintenance
New sash windows will also relieve you of the task of consistently maintaining your windows. Although the time you spend to maintain your windows will be significantly reduced, you may want to carry out simple procedures, such as cleaning your glass panes with a wipe and avoid using harsh chemicals such as window cleaners, to help keep your new sash windows looking fresh.
Eliminating Drafts
Many traditional, original sash windows can be damaged over time, and if not properly maintained, will lead the drafts in your home. If you can feel drafts was standing next to your sash windows, then you may want to seriously consider getting your sash windows replaced or restored before this problem escalates. One of the benefits of having brand-new sash windows installed by Smart Sash Windows is that all of our bespoke window designs come equipped with the latest draft proofing technology, which will eliminate cold air entering your property, thus reducing your energy bills during the cooler months.
Maintaining the original architecture of your property
As many Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian era properties are grade listed, it is important to maintain their authentic, original architectural features. If your building is grade listed, then it’s important that you follow specific guidelines in order to ensure that your property maintains these authentic features. This is why at Smart Sash Windows we are able to replicate the style of your original sash windows, helping us to create and provide you with brand-new sash windows that match the original design of your current windows, keeping in line with the original architectural features of your property.
