Find Out More About Heritage Windows
Heritage windows are carefully designed with historic guidelines and traditional techniques in mind so that they match the style of the original architecture of the properties.
Because of this as well as other advantages we will discuss, they are often used by owners of late 19th or early 20th century historical and ‘Listed’ homes in need of renovation as a replacement window solution.
When planning a window replacement project on these types of properties, strict rules need to be followed, and heritage windows from Crystal Clear excel in meeting the planning regulations by keeping the building’s character at the forefront.
Modern performance matched with classic style
In order to recreate the charm of period timber windows, heritage windows use classically inspired wood effect finishes as well as authentic proportions making them ready to seamlessly replace wooden timber windows with modern benefits.
Older timber windows can become a major source of uncomfortable draughts entering your home and can be a major cause of maintenance costs as well.
Because of their construction with modern materials such as UPVC or aluminium profiles and double or triple glazed glass, heritage windows offer a draught free window without the need for costly maintenance.
Types of heritage window
The top style of heritage window is the flush sash window which features openers that neatly close into the window frame creating a completely flat finish.
Cottage windows are a type of heritage design that contains Georgian bars and are ideal for a traditional cottage look in Georgian style.
The unique grid pattern created by Georgian bar windows gives the distinctive illusion of a window made up of tiny separate glass panes.
An expanding market
Over the past few years the demand for heritage windows has grown dramatically – simply observing windows in local neighbourhoods will open your eyes to the amount of heritage window installations.
They are not only for listed properties and older country homes, as many homeowners of newer houses are taking advantage of the heritage aesthetic by installing cottage or flush windows.
Crystal Clear’s line of heritage windows create a perfect blend of traditional style and modern performance for exceptional timber-alternative windows. View them for yourself in our showroom in Hamilton.
