When deciding on new glazing for your home renovation, many of us are drawn to the traditional look of sash windows, but you’d be forgiven for thinking that sliding sash solutions were only available in timber.

The fact is, uPVC sliding sash windows are as popular an option as timber sliding sash windows nowadays for several reasons; price and durability being two determining factors. As you can imagine, being a natural material, timber sash windows are subject to weather damage and decay from wood rot and the like. By contrast, uPVC is a highly durable material that can withstand the elements. With timber sliding sash solutions, there’s no better day than their first day of installation in terms of aesthetic. While some weathering can suit particular types of wood, flaking paint and rough edges will require a fresh lick of paint and sanding, versus their uPVC equivalents that will be able to restore their original beauty with a simple wipe down.

Timber-Look Sliding Sash Solutions

Although you may still believe that timber sliding sash solutions adhere to the aesthetic you’re looking to achieve, we invite our potential customers to come and see the difference that wood-effect uPVC has on the traditionally plastic look we’re used to. Available in several different colours, the uPVC is manufactured with a slight grain to emulate traditional timber. This can be useful when you’re looking for sliding sash solutions for a period property, or perhaps a property in a conservation area where timber is more often favoured.
