Heritage Windows: An Explanation On Their Benefits And Growth in Popularity
Heritage windows are often chosen as a replacement window for late 19th century or early 20th century properties that are designated as ‘Listed’ or within a conservation area.
This is because they have been designed and made using traditional methods so that they will imitate the original styling of older homes.
Planners for replacement windows in heritage homes have enforced regulations to ensure that the new windows uphold the property’s traditional character and style. Often, heritage windows will meet their high standards because the planners recognise their ability to replicate the older style of windows.
A classic style that offers 21st century advantages
While heritage windows have recreated the charm of older timber windows with woodgrain finishes and accurate proportions, their modern features ensure they provide contemporary benefits far beyond what is expected.
Many homes have old timber windows in their home, which have lost their strength and quality. They could even be a cause of draughts and higher energy bills.
Heritage windows are the perfect replacement for these types of windows, upholding a traditional style but with exceptional energy efficiency benefits. Their robust UPVC or aluminium frames will stand the test of time to reduce your heating bills in the long term.
Clearview has two forms of heritage window
As the number one heritage window style, our flush sash window has a timeless appeal. The sashes close into the window frame, forming a compact flat finish.
We also install made-to-measure cottage windows which we class as heritage windows too. Their Georgian bars recreate the look of windows from the Georgian era, a popular time for country cottages.
While it is a grid pattern placed on one large sheet of glazing, the Georgian bars give the windows a luxurious, expensive feel as they appear to be several individual glass panes.
Demand shows no signs of slowing down
You’ll likely see many heritage windows throughout your neighbourhood as more and more customers recognise their classical appeal.
While they are often selected for rural residences and country cottages, our flush and cottage windows can also complement more modern homes.
Clearview’s heritage windows are the best of both worlds, with modern performance built in. Find out how much they will cost by requesting a custom quote from us.
