FlushSash uPVC Windows

With exquisite hardware options available, such as monkey-tail handles, FlushSash uPVC windows are the answer to fixing the draughty living conditions that can be part and parcel of living in a beautiful period property.

The 19th century inspired design of our FlushSash windows, with the glass sitting flush to the frame providing a traditional look, allows owners of period properties to benefit from modern uPVC systems whilst paying homage to their traditional timber-frame windows.

Bays and Bows

Whilst often paired together, it is important to remember that the functionality of Bay and Bow windows differs.

Bow windows are often seen in contemporary properties, and give the illusion of more space. This stylish design not only has aesthetic appeal, but often feature large internal ledges that create a great display for ornaments and photos. Similar in look to Bow windows but slightly different, Bay windows add space as they extend the footprint of the room. If you’re thinking of installing window seats, these could be a great option for you.

One great benefit of both Bay and Bow windows is the large amount of natural light they let in. If you’ve got a particularly dark room, Bay or Bow windows could be a great addition to let natural light flood in.

Best for: Those wanting to create the illusion of a larger room
