I can’t tell if these are yellow or a light wood?

Thanks for the inquiry. The sashes are a natural wood stain.

I love both but it depends on the property and the overall style of the house. I am about to embark on a renovation project of a 1970s house and I’m looking to completely transform the exterior with render and change the windows to sashes, I don’t know where to start so any advice by sash window experts is welcome!

I still really love the Farrow & Ball Exterior Eggshell Eggshell, it is pricey but gives a lovely finish. A lovely white/cream colour is their Lime White or if you are wanting something more of a clotted cream colour then New White is a great traditional colour. If you do go for the F&B paint then I would highly advise you to also use their Exterior Wood Primer & Undercoat as it gives more of a protective finish.

Hi Daniel, I would propose a couple of things here. Firstly, if you own the property, pressure washing the stock bricks is what is truly needed here. Unfortunately this isn't a "cheap" solution, because you will also have to repoint with what looks like lime mortar. But this will give you that stunning exterior that you are looking for and means the crisp white windows will look spectacular and you will be very proud of your gorgeous home. If you need a quick fix however and a much cheaper solution you will unfortunately be matching to "dirt". That is fine as long as you appreciate that the colour of your bricks is not their natural tone (I always kind of liked the old London stock brick look anyway) and you can use it to play an industrial edge to your look (if that is your thing). In terms of paint colours, I have a few choices for you. I would always try these in situ and see how they look (because depending on the direction your house faces, the colour of the paint and everything that it is reflecting around it will impact the end result). That is why you are getting that grey look to your crisp bright white. I made a mood board for you, so that you could visualise what I mean a little better. I hope this helped you. Good luck! P.S. I love your house!

Sash windows - wood, aluminium, or upvc?

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.
