When it comes to choosing replacement windows for your Hertfordshire home, there are so many different styles, colours, materials, and hardware to choose from. From Anthracite Grey casement windows that open outwards through to Chartwell Green flush sash windows that are made from uPVC for the utmost quality. You see, there are a multitude of different options to suit your desires and preferences.
To help you decide which option is right for you, let’s talk you through the benefits between two of our most popular window styles: flush sash windows and vertical sliding sash windows.
Before we talk you through the benefits of a flush sash window, let’s first explain what it is. A flush sash window is a window style that is designed to replicate a traditional timber casement window and can be designed to complement any property style.
One of the biggest benefits of flush sash windows and where they differ from vertical sliding sash windows is their minimalist appearance. Owing to traditional timber window frames, the minimalist appearance of flush sash windows means they are ideal for period properties and modern ones alike.
Available with three different types of sashes, Deceuninck’s flush casements can achieve impressive window energy ratings of A+! We know that our customers like this, as being able to achieve such high energy ratings means that you can save up to £110 a year on your energy bills.
To ensure the safety of you and your family, multi-point locks are present on our flush sash windows. And what’s even better is that additional hardware such as hinge protectors and anti-bump lock cylinders can be installed for an additional security boost. You can guarantee that these advanced security measures will deter any unwanted visitors from trying to enter your Hertfordshire home.
What is a sliding sash window? Very similar to a flush sash window, a sliding sash window is a simple, staple style that is incredibly popular amongst our customers. Sliding sash windows consist of one or two moveable panels that vertically slide up and down behind one another, traditionally with weights and cords, or in today’s modern technology, with modern spiral balances. Modern sliding sash designs also have an inward opening tilt facility for safe and easy cleaning.
The popularity of sliding sash windows has risen due to their versatility to add timeless elegance to any property, regardless of style or age.
Indifference to flush sash windows, sliding sash windows are most popular amongst Georgian and Victorian period properties because of their heritage appearance. For those after a truly authentic sash window, we can even provide sliding sash windows in timber which is the material originally used to construct them.
Sliding sash windows from Budget Windows are fitted with authentic Georgian bars and energy-efficient glazing, which means that you can rest assured your house will remain at an optimal temperature all year round. Georgian bars add to the traditional Georgian appearance found on older buildings, they can also provide further resistance from intruders due to the smaller panes of glass.
Ultimately, neither window style is superior to the other and it all comes down to your personal preference and aesthetics of your house.
What we can guarantee, however, is that whatever window style you choose, you will be able to choose from an array of colours, from Jet Black to Chartwell Grey and many more, we’re confident that we’ve got a shade for you.
What’s even better is that our flush sash windows and timber sliding sash windows are available with either double or triple glazing. Double glazing is likely to suit the requirements of most homeowners, but if you’re after that extra boost to performance, security, and noise reduction, we’ve got you covered with triple glazing.
