Mid Wales Windows can offer advice on window styles that will then remove any complexity in detecting the right replacements.
Eight of the most popular styles are summarised below, designed to help you unravel each option from the next.
Casement, Sash & Tilt and Turn Windows
Casement – Harness the handle to open it outwards, facilitated by a side hinged arrangement. The lack of a central mullion underlines outside views. Often favoured at modern and traditional abodes and ideal for ventilating interiors. Thorough sealing complemented with quality glazing sees it attain thermal efficiency.
Sash – Contains vertical or horizontal sliding glass panels and commonly employed at Victorian/Georgian homes. Boundlessly elegant, very straightforward to maintain. Adequate glazing ignites medium to high energy performance.
Tilt and Turn – Engineer a modest inward tilt at the top or full inward swing. Captures air from outside, obeys safety requirements and is painless to clean. Mostly found at modern abodes. Insulates impressively if precisely sealed.
Sliding, Bay & Bow Windows
Sliding – Employ to overcome the problem of restricted space as you operate horizontal gliding sashes. Will invite airflow and light gain. Delivers moderate energy efficiency if well glazed.
Bay – A three-sectioned design that projects outward, possessing a central pane and two angled equivalents. Amplifies internal spaciousness and light. Very suited to period abodes and highly dependent on energy-efficient glazing because of its large surface area.
Bow – Similar to the bay window but has a curved design and 4-6 uniform panels. Emphasises views and suits contemporary and Victorian dwellings. Attains medium thermal efficiency.
Rooflight/Skylight & Flush Windows
Rooflight/Skylight – Often used to lure light into lofts and extensions, implanted into roofs. Can either be fixed or vented. Very energy efficient if incorporating double or triple glazing.
Flush – No protruding parts, just a flat frame. A good fit for modern and period homes. Mostly UPVC or aluminium framed, ensuring great insulation and low upkeep.
Extra Hints & Tips
Judge the best type of window on the style of your property, the era it originates from and your individual inclinations.
Frames – Windows are manufactured to encompass UPVC, aluminium, timber or composite frames.
Glass – Decide between double or triple glazing and there’s also low-e, frosted and tinted glass.
Cost – Price will vary depending on any complex specifications and material choice – UPVC casements are regularly the most inexpensive solution.
