Sash Windows
Sash windows are probably the most attractive and efficient style of window ever made. As the focal point of many period properties, they play an important part in England’s historic architecture. When you are looking to replace the windows in a property that is nearly one hundred years old, or even more, it is imperative to maintain the charm and character of the original sashes, without the draughts and vulnerability that timber sash windows are known for.
Our Bygone range of UPVC sash windows maintain all the beauty and practicality of original timber windows, with the advantages of warmth and security that modern glazing technology brings. Here is a summary of what you get when you choose Bygone sliding sash windows...
- White Wood Grain - This unique finish gives your new windows an authentic painted timber effect finish, which gives you an extremely long lasting, maintenance free, high quality window finish.
- Authentic Sightlines - Most PVC sash replacements destroy
the look and value of homes because they do not have a clean
vertical line through the upper and lower sashes, which unbalances your
window - especially
where Georgian or Victorian patterns are being used. Bygone
windows have a unique design, which means that the actual Georgian “squares” are
of equal dimension, giving your new windows a perfect authentic
look.

sash windows have Georgian “canes” placed in between two sheets
of glass. This means that it is obvious at a glance that your
home has cheap double-glazing sash replacements - as they do
not have the depth,
character and shadow lines which make sash windows with Georgian
bars look so good. Bygone windows have triple fastened (for
strength) internal and
external Georgian bars, which give a high quality authentic look.
[view image] - Deep Bottom Rail - Another unique feature of authentic
sash windows is that the bottom rail was between 4 and 5 inches
deep. Most modern
replacements do not replicate this look, as it is more complex
and expensive to manufacture. Bygone sash windows have a deep
bottom rail which faithfully
replicates the look of original sash windows.
[view image] - Continuous Sash Horns - Sash horns are a unique feature
of sash windows and are essential for capturing the authentic
look of genuine sash windows. Bygone windows have a “continuous” horn – the
horn on most modern sash windows is “attached”, an easy give
away that they are modern replacements.
