What Are Heritage Windows And Why Are They Growing In Popularity?
Heritage windows have been created as a perfect substitute for restoring and renovating 19th century and 20th century buildings, deriving the styling from their traditional architecture.
Homes of this age classified as ‘Listed’ or positioned within a conservation area need to adhere to specific rules imposed by planners for replacement window projects or they could risk breaking the law.
5 Star’s heritage windows will often meet these requirements because of their ability to retain the authentic character of a home. Our advisors can assist you in finding the right windows that will appease planners and complement your property.
A traditional style with contemporary performance
Through embracing the classic character of timber windows with authentic woodgrain finishes and accurate proportions, we have created windows that could be easily mistaken for traditional timber windows. The only difference is that they provide 21st century benefits, thanks to the technological advances in window design.
Old timber windows are known for losing their quality over time and becoming expensive to maintain, whereas heritage windows can be described as low-maintenance window solutions.
Made from strong and durable UPVC and aluminium, our heritage windows will make your home more energy efficient by preventing draughts, saving you money on heating bills. Backed up with 5 Star’s 20 year guarantee, you can trust they are incredibly cost effective.
The types of heritage windows
Known for its sashes that sit level with the window frame, our flush sash windows are our best-selling heritage windows.
Also classed as heritage windows, we offer cottage windows too. Cottage windows feature iconic Georgian bars to replicate the cottage style windows of the past.
The Georgian bars give the windows an attractive grid pattern which creates the impression of many separate pieces of glass.
Demand has never been higher
Heritage style windows have been growing in popularity in recent years, with many homeowners wanting to create a nostalgic aesthetic rather than follow the modern window trends.
Heritage windows have now become a trend in itself, with both those who live in country cottages and brand-new homes appreciating the character they can bring to the property.
While 5 Star’s heritage windows may look like they are from another era, their modern performance is second to none. Get a quote for our elegant cottage and flush sash windows here.
