Upgrade Your Home with Energy-Efficient Sash Windows
As the cold winter months approach and you begin to see a rise in your energy prices, it may be time to consider upgrading your sash windows. Older wooden sash windows are often the root cause of heat loss in your home, especially if they are single-glazed or let in unwanted draughts. Old traditional sash windows can be a significant source of energy inefficiency if not properly maintained or updated.
Replacing sash windows or upgrading your wooden sash windows can help keep your home warm, reduce heat loss and lower your reliance on heating during the colder months. Our new timber sash windows offer improved thermal performance making them an excellent choice for energy-conscious homeowners.
Still unsure if you should give your home the upgrade it deserves? We have highlighted just a few of the many reasons why it’s a good idea to think about investing in new energy-efficient sash windows before the winter months set in.
4 Great Reasons To Install New Energy-Efficient Sash Windows
1. Improved Insulation with Double Glazing
All our timber sash window upgrades and replacements come fitted with 4/4/4 slimline double glazing as standard. This type of glazing design consists of two panes of glass separated by a sealed layer of inert argon gas. Double glazing acts as a highly effective thermal barrier by significantly reducing heat transfer, helping to retain warmth within your home. In addition to thermal benefits, double glazing also enhances sound insulation, making it a smart all-round upgrade for any property with sash windows.
We offer a variety of double glazing upgrades. These include thicker double glazed units up to 16mm for heritage properties, acoustic glazing and Fineo options. Allowing you to customise your window glazing to suit your specific needs.
2. Reduced Draughts
Old sash windows are notorious for allowing cold draughts to enter which can make your home feel colder and increase energy consumption. Our replacement sash windows feature an integrated draught-proofing system. Our draught-proofing system works in conjunction with the sash window components creating a tight seal when the window is closed. This innovative system is designed to reduce heat loss, lower energy costs and help maintain a comfortable indoor temperature during the winter months.
3. Sustainable Window Materials
Our new sash windows are manufactured from the highest quality timber available, with redwood being the most popular choice among our customers. The pulley styles are produced from a part of the tree known as the sideboards. These cuts of the redwood tree are low in timber knots and shakes in the redwood, which improves sash and case window stability. With proper care, our sash windows can last a lifetime. Regular maintenance, such as sanding and repainting every three years, can significantly extend their lifespan.
4. Long-Term Financial Benefits
While the initial investment in new sash windows may appear significant, the long-term savings are considerable. Many homeowners have reported reduced energy bills during the first winter after installation. Over time, these savings add up and investing in energy-efficient sash windows can also enhance your property’s resale value.
We offer a variety of flexible financing plans to help spread the cost of your investment. Whether you prefer a short-term option or a longer repayment plan, we have tailored solutions to fit your budget and needs.
