PVCu Windows

Our standard PVCu windows are manufactured in the UK and are designed specifically for the unique requirements of British properties. Energy-saving levels far exceed Building Regulations and combine with true multi-point locking for maximum security.

White slimSASH casement, splay bay and oriel bay windows

PVCu slimSASH

SlimSASH has a larger glass area, giving more daylight in the home, but still achieve outstanding energy efficiency and security. They have a chamfered external profile with a unique putty line feature and a choice of a chamfered or sculptured internal beading.

Elegant, sculptured frames for a more traditional, timber influenced design

PVCu sculpturedSASH

Slightly wider then slimSASH and with all of the energy-saving and high-security features but with a more shapely finish to the frame and sashes. The windows can be designed with a matching sculptured glazing bead on the interior or a contrasting chamfered bead.

Flatter, flush-fitting frame and sash emulate pre-1950’s timber windows perfectly

PVCu flushSASH

Proportionally similar to the sculpturedSASH window, flushSASH uses an opening or fixed sash that doesn’t protrude from the window frame. The sash sits flush inside the frame as a traditional timber window would have done between the 18th and 20th century.

Aluminium Windows

Aluminium first made a countrywide appearance in the 1970’s - unfortunately, the metallic construction was it’s downfall, and ‘bridged’ the cold from outside directly indoors which lead to widespread condensation resulting in mould and dampness. Contemporary aluminium windows have a thermoplastic break which means the cold won’t conduct from outside and your heat won’t escape from inside. Aluminium’s inherent strength mean the windows and doors can be produced slimmer than their PVCu counterparts - more light comes in and a wider view back out.

Aluminium Traditional

A strong, low maintenance alternative to timber windows - visually very similar in design but with excellent insulation and security properties that restore and embellish the style of your home.

Heritage windows utilise a ‘stepped’ profile to emulate Crittall windows.

Aluminium Heritage

Not just for direct Crittall replacement but also ideal for instilling character into an otherwise bland property. These stamp an authentic ‘1920’s Art Deco’ stamp on a range of architectural styles.

Simple flat sashes and frames differentiate the Modern aluminium.

Aluminium Modern

For an ultra-modern home, the simple flat sashes and frames give very svelte, clean lines to each facade and provide an excellent match with our sliding patio and bi-folding doors.

Window Types

British architecture over the last two centuries has principally used either timber or steel for their construction. Both are costly to manufacture and by the late-1970’s, aluminium and un-plasticised polyvinyl chlorate (uPVC or PVCu) became the more efficient, higher performing replacements which have become so prevalent.

A gentle, shallow curve signifies the Bow Bay and it fits into a standard rectangular opening

Bow Bay Window

Bow Windows are made up of typically four or five identical windows, creating a beautiful curved appearance. With more glass, they attract more light than a standard width casement window.

Oriel Bay

As with the Bow Bay, the Oriel Bay fits into an existing rectangular opening and also requires a roof and, depending on how far it protrudes, strengthening underneath to support the weight.

Bay Window

As they consist of three panels, bay windows aren’t as wide as bow windows, yet they do offer a greater amount of floor space.

Typical PVCu and modern timber window design used throughout the country

‘Lipped’ Casement

The most prevalent design of British window over the last century - the opening sash ‘lips over’ and protrudes from the window outer-frame for a secure and weatherproof window. The sashes can either have a contemporary ‘bevel’ or a softer ‘sculptured’ finish for a more traditional appearance. These are sometimes referred to as ‘storm windows’.

Square Bay

As with a bay window, a square bay increases floor space due it following the shape of the outer walls.

Traditional casement window but with modern insulation and security

‘Flush Sash’ Casement

Modern manufacturing techniques have enabled the classical ‘flush sash and frame’ appearance in a modern PVCu window. Neither security and insulation levels have been sacrificed to achieve this timeless aesthetic. The simple elegance of this design is suited to many styles of architecture.

Glazing Styles

There are three principal door systems for patios and gardens - traditional French doors in PVCu and Aluminium, the sliding patio door, also in PVCu and Aluminium or, the more recent addition of the aluminium sliding, bi-folding doors.

Stylish reproduction of Georgian window bars in a chamfered or sculptured design

Astragal Bars

The astragal bar is installed on the inner and outer face of the glass in such a way that it emulates the individual window panes that would have been used in traditional British window designs. Typically referring to the Georgian period but does overlap with other eras.

The affordable window bar option if you want to achieve a Georgian appearance

Georgian Bars

Georgian bar windows are set inside the sealed unit, which means that they are sandwiched in between layers of glazing. Rather than being added to the glazing, they are sealed within the glazed unit interior to achieve the appearance of Georgian bars.

Typically square or diamond patterned although or variations on these

Leaded Lights

As with Georgian and Astragal bars - leaded lights emulate the original glazing designs dating back to 16th century and glass could only be made in small panes - strips of lead enabled the small panes to be joined together to form larger windows.

Equal and Unequal Sight-lines

A ‘dummy-sash’ refers to a non-opening sash which is inserted into the frame to achieve a symmetrical and evenly proportioned sight-line. This is referred to as having ‘equal sight-lines’ because a uniform line can be drawn through the frames both horizontally and vertically.

These illustrations of Aluminium and PVC-u windows clearly demonstrate the differences between the different materials but also how the ‘unequal sight-line’ appearance is more noticeable in PVC-u.

There is nothing wrong with unequal sight-lines - they are cheaper because no additional ‘dummy’ sashes are required meaning marginally more light coming in and a slightly greater view back out. Aesthetically, if you have an ‘eye’ for uniformity and precise alignment then the additional cost is worthwhile.
