Sash windows have been around since the 17th Century – and they don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon! If you look around at South Wales windows, you’ll see plenty of sash windows giving properties a perfect blend of classic style with modern performance. Looking for timeless tradition for your home? Here’s how our uPVC sash windows can work for you.
What is a uPVC sash window?
A PVCu or uPVC sash window is a window made from unplasticised polyvinyl chloride (uPVC) that has one or more sliding panels, also known as ‘sashes’, which move vertically to open. Traditional sash windows typically have two sashes that can slide up and down. These windows are known for their timeless look, combining classic charm with the durability, low maintenance and energy efficiency of modern materials.
Why uPVC sash windows will never go out of style
The iconic design of sash windows has only gotten better over time. They add value to your home by improving ventilation and kerb appeal. Sash windows are common in Georgian and Victorian properties, and our uPVC sash windows are perfect for restoring existing ones. Sash windows aren’t just popular in period properties however, as homeowners have begun looking to them to give their more modern homes a standard feature.
Energy efficiency
At Falcon Installations, our uPVC sash windows are designed to be highly energy efficient. With double glazing and ‘A’ rated as standard, these windows will help keep your home warm and cosy, whilst in turn reducing your energy bills. Don’t compromise on efficiency when it comes to your South Wales windows, instead choose a window that can offer you both performance and style!
Security and ventilation
Our uPVC sash windows will keep you safe in your home. These windows come with a multi-point locking system, ensuring your home not only looks great but is also secure. Unlike other windows that have a tilting operation, our sash windows slide up or down, meaning you can open them slightly for ventilation. Sash windows cannot be forced open even when left ajar, as they have sash stops fitted to the top of the window to securely lock them. These sash locks are more complex mechanisms than traditional handles, meaning children are less likely to be able to open them or trap their fingers, and with sash stops you can increase the ventilation within their room without worrying about their safety.
Low maintenance
One of the biggest advantages of uPVC sash windows is their low maintenance and durability. Our uPVC windows are resistant to warping, cracking and fading, making them a long-lasting investment for your home. At Falcon Installations, our vertical sash windows come with a tilt-in feature, allowing you to clean the windows from the inside with ease! These windows are an easy way to add period character to your home without the costs or maintenance associated with timber.
