If you live in a Grade I or Grade II listed building or one of the 8000 plus designated conservation areas in the UK then you might have no choice but to use timber sash windows in your property. This is due to the tight regulation of the significant character of these areas. It is always advisable to contact your local Conservation Officer when replacing an existing window in a listed building or within a conservation area.
If you are renovating a Georgian, Regency or Victorian property or building a new house to one of these styles then timber sash windows are a significant feature.
If there is something internally that is front of the window, such as a sink or bath which makes it difficult to reach the window.
If there is an obstruction externally, such as a tree or a wall, which would prevent the window opening outwards then a sash window would be the perfect solution.
If you want your property to stay cool during the summer months, Sash Windows provide excellent ventilation – as hot air is exhausted, cool air is brought in.
Sash windows also provide excellent light penetration, with the light going deep into rooms due to their tall proportions.
If you are looking for a timber window that is easy to open and close.
An excellent ‘U’ Value of 1.5 W/m² is available from double glazing. The way the Schnauber sash window is constructed, using a normal double glazed unit and applying Georgian bars on top of the glazing, in between the glazing and internally, ensures a better sealed unit for improved insulation.
We use the latest in locking technology to ensure the security and integrity of your sash timber windows.
