Sash Windows Louth

Sash Windows Louth Lincolnshire (LN11): Providing a classy, period look to any home in Louth, sash windows can increase your property's value by adding style, charm and aesthetic appeal. If you live in a period property, a listed building or your house stands within a designated conservation area, sash windows could be your only choice of replacement due to local legislation, and contemporary sash window replacements are every bit as accurate as the originally installed windows.

In some cases a replacement sash window will be hand crafted by your choice of professional window company in Louth, to make certain they closely match your requirements, along with any restrictions regarding conservation area and listed building considerations. The skilled craftsmen will use sustainably sourced timber in soft or hard wood varieties, that are recognised for their robustness and anti-rot capabilities. Unless of course, you prefer the more modern look, with elegant aluminium, uPVC, composite framed sash windows which seamlessly integrate with the current style of your property in Louth.

SASH WINDOWS VERSUS CASEMENT WINDOWS

The big distinction between sash windows and casement windows, is that sash windows don't use a hinge to open, they slide instead. Each sash window has two parts, where one or both are able to slide up vertically behind the other. To keep the window in place there are cords and counterbalances that permit the window to be opened to any size of gap for different ventilation requirements. Classic, old fashioned sash windows do not move in any other direction than vertically, but more modern designs support horizontal (referred to as Yorkshire Sash) or vertical movement, along with tilting designs which are easier to clean.

One of the key advantages that a sash window has over a casement window is that it's far more efficient for the ventilation of your rooms. You can create a convection flow of air within your room, with cool air entering through the gap at the bottom, and warmer air escaping through the gap at the top, in sash windows where both the top and bottom sashes are able to slide. This benefit is particularly handy in summer months and helps to improve personal comfort levels around your home in Louth.

To prevent any unauthorised opening of your windows and increase security for traditional sash windows, double or reinforced glazing, locks, threaded bolt screws and stops can be used to give peace of mind for homeowners in Louth. Fitting a frame to frame lock is one of the most effective forms of security for sash windows in Louth. Preventing either sash from being opened, this type of lock involves the fitting of a bar or bolt which fastens the bottom frame to the upper sash. Security is further enhanced as would-be intruders cannot access it from outside.

REFURBISHING OR REPLACING SASH WINDOWS IN LOUTH

If your home in Louth has sash windows installed and they no longer work properly (sticking in place, difficult to open etc), then it is the perfect time to think of either refurbishing or replacing them. Your local Louth sash window installer will be happy to give you advice on whether it's easier to change them or if it is worthwhile to refurbish your existing windows.

If a complete refurbishment is the decided course of action for your existing sash windows in Louth, then for any work to be successfully completed, they'll need to be taken out of their frames. The frame might need to be put in a specialist jig and tightened if your window panes are draughty and vibrating, or it may be as easy as removing layers of paint that have built up throughout the years. You'll probably find that your local sash window contractor in Louth will offer a survey of your frames and windows to pinpoint any problems, suggest solutions, and give you a quotation for the work. Bear in mind that, whilst in theory just about any sash window can be refurbished; be it loose corner joints, snapped cords, rotten frames, cracked glass etc, when push comes to shove there is a balance between what's feasible and what's economically the best option.

For any homeowner repairing a damaged sash window or trying to make a replacement one, there are a range of sash window mouldings available to buy. As you're able to get the precise parts that are needed, this is especially handy for repair work. Mouldings that can frequently be found include: ovolo glass beads, glazing bars, stiles, step cills, sash stiles, transom drips, staff beads, bottom rails, sash bars, parting beads and top & bottom meeting rails.

TYPES OF SASH WINDOWS IN LOUTH

It can be baffling looking at a sales catalogue or on the internet at all of the different kinds of sash windows that you can buy. If you just think about the 3 principal designs, specifically: Edwardian, Victorian and Georgian, it should be more straightforward. Each offers their own individual variants which can be modified for your property style.

Georgian - With typically six independent panes in the top sash, over six independent panes in the bottom sash, the "six over six" Georgian sash window is easily recognisable. The Half-Georgian is an adaption of this style with six panes in one half, and a single pane in the other, while another Georgian-variant sees a sash window which can have different sized panes in the upper and lower, as long as one half of the window counts 6 panes.

Victorian - The Victorian sash window features a two over two panel design with a centre bar, asymmetric (3 over 2, or 2 over 3 etc) variants are also possible.

Edwardian - With a 6 over 2 arrangement, the Edwardian has a quite similar look to the Half-Georgian design of sash window.

To find out which would be the correct model for your property in Louth, you should contact your local sash window installation company, instead of racking your brain going over all of these versions.

All these window patterns can be adapted to different types of window, i.e. couple or bay windows, as well as for any size of window. What is referred to as the Yorkshire Sash is the 4th and final main type of sash window. Incorporating any of the three principal designs and their variants, this type is a window that slides horizontally.

TRADITIONAL SASH WINDOWS AND PROTECTED BUILDINGS

During the past, sash windows were only fitted with one single pane of glass. If your property is located in a designated conservation area, or your house is a listed building, you might have to replace your sash windows with a similar style as your current ones. To improve on the thermal attributes of the original glass, it's now feasible using modern solutions, to replace it with much better toughened glass. This will permit you to preserve the all round appearance of your house when replacing your windows.

An experienced sash window installation company in Louth can offer advice about how to adhere to local regulations for your area, whilst offering the optimum and most cost-effective materials available. When the restoration of existing materials is essential, because of requests by your local council or conservation official, a window by window inspection may be necessary to minimise any negative impact on the building. A reputable installation company will be happy to perform this assessment and prepare a detailed report for the planning department, including technical drawings, necessary replacement works and full details of your renovation scheme.

It might be possible to do an enhancement of your sash windows in Louth by investing in secondary glazing. By installing a vertically sliding secondary glazing panel to the inside of your sash window you can improve thermal efficiency, reduce noise transmission and stop condensation. The installing of secondary glazing enables you to maintain the traditional character and appearance of the building and can typically be implemented even if you are limited by planning regulations in the case of a listed building.

Yorkshire Sliding Sash Windows Louth

The "Yorkshire Slider" or "Yorkshire Sliding Sash Window" is the 4th and final kind of sash window, after the more widely recognised Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian styles. Since the sashes slide from side to side rather than up and down as with the other types, this style of window is sometimes referred to as the "Horizontal Sliding Sash Window". These sash windows were originally installed in workers cottages, because they were cheaper to make, and are now typically observed in period cottages and listed buildings. As the name suggests, they're believed to have originated in the North Yorkshire region. (Tags: Yorkshire Sliding Sash Windows Louth, Horizontal Sliding Sash Windows Louth, Yorkshire Sliders Louth).

uPVC Sash Windows

For those wanting to achieve the perfect mix of timeless charm and contemporary practicality, uPVC sash windows are the way to go. They hold onto the sophistication of traditional sash windows while also bringing a range of benefits that today's homeowners appreciate. Whether you're restoring a period home or enhancing your property's aesthetic appeal, these windows offer a fantastic blend of style and functionality. With their classic look, they fit in seamlessly with both modern and traditional homes, giving you the best of both worlds.

One of the key benefits of uPVC sash windows is that they require very little maintenance. In contrast to wooden sash windows, which typically need frequent painting or sealing, uPVC is both durable and weather-resistant, making it perfect for the often unpredictable British weather. You won't have to worry about them warping, rotting, or peeling over time, so they'll continue to look fantastic with just a bit of upkeep. Usually, a quick wipe with a cloth is all that's needed to keep them in top shape.

Beyond their ease of maintenance, uPVC sash windows offer impressive energy efficiency and security. Many come double-glazed as standard, helping to keep your home warm while reducing energy bills. Modern locking systems provide excellent protection, giving you peace of mind without compromising the classic sash window look. With a range of colours and finishes to choose from, uPVC sash windows let you enjoy timeless style with all the benefits of modern materials. (Tags: uPVC Sash Windows Louth).

Sash Window Trickle Vents Louth

If you have installed sash windows in your home in Louth, you must make sure that every room has good ventilation. Many folks seem to overlook ventilation and focus on improving insulation and preventing heat loss, yet it's imperative if such problems as penetrating damp, condensation and black mould are to be avoided.

One method that you can use to enable ventilation is to install trickle vents, which means that you will no longer have to keep opening your sash windows to get that all-important flow of air. These nifty little vents often come as standard with uPVC sash windows, however if you have windows constructed from wood or some alternative material, you may need to bring in a specialist to put some in.

Trickle vents are fitted at the top of a sash window, and fresh air flows through from the outside "trickling" vertically down the window, thereby reducing condensation on the interior glass surfaces, and the related issues that come with this.

So that you don't ruin the clean lines of your windows, try to buy low-profile and flush fitting trickle vents where possible. These aren't as obtrusive as some other trickle vent designs and will look much tidier once installed. (Tags: Trickle Vents Louth, Sash Window Trickle Vents Louth, Sash Window Ventilation Louth).
