Always happy to share information with customers, Amber thought it helpful to detail some of these styles in case you’re currently looking into replacement windows and unsure which to buy.
Eight in all are discussed and we hope the insight given into each option makes your window buying stress-free.
Casement, Sash & Tilt and Turn Windows
Casement – Side hinged and open outwards. Exclude a central mullion to offer an undisturbed view. Suit contemporary and traditional properties and favoured for ventilation. Tight sealing and intelligent glazing ushers first-rate insulation.
Sash – Features horizontal or vertical sliding panels, synonymous with Victorian and Georgian homes. Opulent styling and convenient to clean. Realise medium to high energy efficiency when properly glazed.
Tilt and Turn – Opening facility encompasses a slight inward tilt at the top or complete inward swing. Makes for painless cleaning and nurtures airflow. Common style at modern dwellings. Comprehensive sealing fosters superior insulation.
Sliding, Bay & Bow Windows
Sliding – Horizontal gliding sashes ensure they don’t intrude space, so good for compact spaces. Excellently nurture air and light flow. Offer moderate energy efficiency with quality glazing.
Bay – Most typically divided into three sections (one central window and two angled windows). Fuel light and promote the feeling of space. An ideal match for period habitats. Energy-efficient glass is essential due to the large surface area.
Bow – Similar to a bow but with 4-6 matching panels and a more curved appearance. Amplifies views. Flatter contemporary and Victorian houses. Supply standard thermal efficiency.
Rooflight/Skylight & Flush Windows
Rooflight/Skylight – Integrated into roofs to entice light into lofts and extensions. Vented or fixed. Attain superb energy efficiency if include double or triple glazing.
Flush – The flat effect creates a sleek aesthetic. Works well at period and modern properties. Impressive insulator, low maintenance and mainly UPVC or aluminium crafted.
Extra Guidance
We’d deem the best window style for your house to be the one that most aligns with its style, age and whichever takes your fancy most.
Frames – Select from the following four materials: UPVC, aluminium, timber, or composite.
Glass – Specify double or triple glazing, low-e, frosted or tinted glass.
Cost – Based on material, size and design complexity: UPVC casements are often cheapest.
