Gone are the days of choosing between the charm of timber windows and the practicality of uPVC.
Replacing your windows can breathe new life into your home, either by preserving its unique character or adding to it.
Leading South East home improvement company SEHBAC understands the importance of both the character of a home and its performance when it comes to windows.
A touch of timeless elegance
For those seeking to retain the classic charm of their Hertfordshire home, flush sash and vertical sliding sash are two traditional, timeless window styles.
Offering a clean and elegant aesthetic, flush sash windows sit perfectly flush with the external brickwork when closed, creating a seamless, contemporary look while retaining the traditional charm often associated with Georgian and Victorian properties.
Vertical sliding sash windows replicate the classic design of timber sash windows, featuring a vertical sliding mechanism, and add a touch of period elegance while offering the flexibility of modern operation.
Using high-performance uPVC, the beauty of these traditional window styles lies not just in their aesthetics, but also in their ability to perform as a modern window should, with superior thermal efficiency, enhanced security with modern window locking mechanisms and exceptional weather resistance, so they won’t rot, warp, or crack, requiring minimal maintenance throughout its lifespan.
A statement transformation
SEH BAC’s recent installation on this beautiful South East detached property demonstrates perfectly how modern performance can seamlessly blend with traditional aesthetics. The homeowner loved the character of their home, but their existing windows were letting them down as they were both inefficient and lacking the charm they desired.
The front was completely transformed by the installation of 14 vertical sliding windows, offering the perfect balance between the timeless elegance of traditional timber sash windows and the high-performance benefits of modern uPVC. For an extra touch of individuality, the windows were finished in a stunning Hazy Grey on both the inside and outside. Chrome furniture added a sleek, modern touch that perfectly complemented the classic design.
The project also demonstrates the versatility of vertical sliding sash windows. While they seamlessly complement the character of older properties with their period charm, the wide range of colour and finishing options allows them to add a unique touch to modern homes too.
Respecting tradition with Heritage windows
If your Hertfordshire home resides in a conservation area, replacing windows comes with an added layer of complexity as you will have to maintain the original architectural style.
Residence 9 windows are meticulously designed to replicate the slim sightlines and deep profiles of traditional timber windows, with a range of heritage features including putty lines, sash horns, and astragal bars.
Crafted from high-performance uPVC, they offer all the benefits of modern materials while maintaining the aesthetic integrity of property in a conservation area. Residence 9 windows are available in a wide range of colours and finishes too, allowing you to perfectly match the existing style of your home.
While their attention to detail replicates the look and texture of real wood perfectly, they blend classic aesthetics with modern benefits ensuring your home remains comfortable and secure.
