Aesthetics v Energy Efficiency when replacing timber Sash windows
Comments (1)We always recommend double glazing due to the benefits of improved thermal efficiency, noise reduction and security. High quality sash windows can tie in well with conservation and period properties. https://www.forestedgehomeimprovements.com/about/...See MoreReplacement Timber Sash Windows, London
Comments (2)Those aluminium ones look awful. Thank goodness for the timber replacement ones bringing back the character of the house....See MoreSash windows - wood, aluminium, or upvc?
Comments (4)Hi Angie There was a [similar discussion on Houzz[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/discussions/upvc-vs-timber-windows-what-to-choose-dsvw-vd~3761852) before. The overwhelming opinion was go for timber, but timber is not for everyone! All very well if you can spend the money for them, as timber will be the most costly option however the quality of modern timber windows really is fantastic now. They are much more hardy, being sealed, coated and painted within the factory and utilising modern window features such as double/triple glazing and rubber beading rather than putty. They will be thermally efficient and look amzing. Being a natural material, timber is still subject to environmental conditions and eventually will need maintenance like regular painting (paintwork guarantees can be up to 10 years though). They may need to come out so that proper sealing of the joins can be achieved again, which will mean a larger expense than just slapping on a lick of paint. The material can be sourced from renewable forests although if not local you may wish to consider the carbon footprint etc. uPVC can look as traditional and authentic as timber, as a foil application will give the frames a very convincing wood grain effect. There are also options for joinery-style butt or mechanical joints, a deep bottom rail, run-through horns and external putty lines - it would take an expert to spot that it’s uPVC. This authentic appearence makes them conservation-area friendly. Environmentally, uPVC is recyclable and utilises an efficient manufacturing process that energy consumption and carbon footprint values compare favourably with other materials. Each industry has promotional videos extolling the virtues of their manufacturing process and why it is best :-) Obviously costwise, uPVC will be the cheapest (possibly three times less expensive or even less) They will require very little maintenance and offer all the benefits of modern materials such as easy cleaning etc. We don't provide aluminium sash windows as either our timber or uPVC offerings suit our customers, so it really comes down to cost and what your budget is. We have a timber and uPVC sash window side by side in our showroom - we love them both but you'd be hard-pressed to tell the difference! Check out our website https://www.yesglazing.co.uk/ or if you are local to the South East, come and visit our showroom....See MoreSash Windows - Colour or White?
Comments (19)These are just examples to show how classic colour harmonies can still be formed across diverse materials and media. (Monochromatic/complementary) It’s now possible to quickly measure the colour of a surface to get key colour information. It’s a tiny device which links to an app on a smart phone or ipad. This tells you to which Hue Family a surface colour belongs and where within that Hue Family it sits. Once you have that data it is possible to find harmonising or contrasting paint colours, quickly & efficiently. The tiny orange dots mark the location of the brick colour samples within their Hue Family. Even within their diversity, they sit within a tight spectral range. The client’s request was for a range of warm greys and blue/greys to consider for window and door colours....See MoreShan M
