Can Plastic Sash Windows Be Authentic?

At Sashes of Surrey, we sell an abundance of windows in the Surrey area. Our plastic windows have many benefits for your home in comparison to wooden windows. But how can plastic windows be authentic? In this article, we will explain what plastic windows include and how they can maintain an authentic look.

Authentic Sash Windows

A sash window is an ideal addition for homeowners because they are easy to install and are very low maintenance. When you choose uPVC windows for your property, they offer advanced double glazing, which lets in plenty of natural light. Which can save money on your energy bills because you will rely less on light bulbs.

Many traditional features are present in the Ultimate Rose design, which take influence from the Victorian Period. For instance, the windows include astragal bars, detailed putty lines, and a deep bottom rail. At Sashes of Surrey, we are committed to replicating traditional windows and ensuring our plastic windows are more modern. We have been perfecting the designs for years so they last longer.

Features of Sash Windows 

• Astragal Bars 

One of the designs that help our plastic windows stand out is the use of Astragal Bars. Astragal bars are incorporated internally and externally on our windows. It’s a common style preference, as it helps retain an authentic charm.

• Sash Horns 

This style is incorporated in all our windows. It was initially used in timber windows. Sash horns support the mortice and tenor joints which stop the window from becoming jammed. Our modern solution is to include run through sash horns which allow a smooth appearance that authentically looks like timber.

• Double Glazing 

As previously mentioned, our uPVC Windows incorporate double glazing. Double glazing adds an additional layer of glazing on your windows which has many benefits for your home. It protects your home from robust knocks, keeping you and your family safe from intruders. Double glazing also gives your home extra elegance, charm, and a cleaner, low maintenance look. This helps your windows be more attractive in the long run. Modernised windows will help achieve the highest standards, such as style and performance.

Styles of Sash Windows 

We work with Roseview, the industry leading manufacturer of plastic windows.  From their expertly designed Rose Collection, we supply three different plastic window styles that closely reflect the authentic look of timber. These three styles include the Ultimate, Heritage, and Charisma uPVC models.

• Ultimate Rose 

Our Ultimate Rose model takes a strong influence from both the Victorian and Georgian periods. This window has many traditional aspects that make it authentic to homeowners. The window style is created using a modern woodgrain foil that gives it an authentic timber impression. This authentic and well loved period design is the most advanced model in the Rose Collection, as its finer details have been flawlessly perfected to look as authentic as possible. This, combined with the advanced double glazing, ensures that your home achieves exceeding levels of performance along with the aesthetic appeal.  

• Heritage Rose 

Similar to the Ultimate Rose, the Heritage Rose is a perfect and more cost effective model for period properties. One feature that helps it stand out is the Acorn locking system. This helps the windows be more secure than traditional timber profiles. What’s more, plastic windows are available in a selection of colours and woodgrain finishes. A woodgrain design will ensure you will get a wooden and natural look alongside the performance benefits of plastic windows.

• Charisma Rose 

Our Charisma Rose style is the most affordable window in our range. This window is extremely functional, and it provides a strong, authentic look and feel. We put traditional elements in our Charisma windows, which include Ovolo sightlines. These give an outstanding overall view of your property that is timeless and well sculpted. This style is important for anyone who is looking to add character to their property, as the decorative finish results in a curved shape, bolstering the plastic windows’ authentic look.
