window appeal
If you are looking to replace your sash windows, this technically advanced and competitively priced option could be the answer
Many people want to replace their old sash windows, as they are single pane, cold, noisy and draughty. However, ripping out beautiful timber windows for plastic reduces the kerb appeal of the property — and using slimline double glazing units is a “problem waiting to happen,” says SupaWood Windows’ Mike Jones.“They do not comply with Building Regulations for U value thermal efficiency and cannot give the life expectancy of the double glazed unit,” he explains. “Many sealed double glazing units fail because the windows don’t drain properly and are not ventilated to dry out. To protect the double glazing unit, it should be ideally surrounded by fresh air.
“We believe that maintaining the appearance of the window, with a compliant double glazed unit using quality materials is the best and most competitive solution for replacing sash windows.”
SupaWood Windows is a reincarnation of a system that has been in existence for nearly 40 years. Focusing on sash windows, the company uses wood as an engineered product, using modern techniques and high quality materials, which brings many advantages to the installer and homeowner alike.
“As a manufacturer we can offer a bespoke product, which is environmentally friendly, using materials that require no more maintenance than uPVC plastic. In fact, we say that there would be less
maintenance with our windows,” adds Mike Jones.
“The SupaWood windows system is quite unique, giving a solution that oozes quality, is easy to specify and install and does not require the specialist and costly services of specialised joinery trades,” he continues.
“The quality of the materials used means that the windows will last and enhance kerb appeal for up many years.”
Feedback from the company’s customers bears this out. “Five years on, we just love our rising sashes.
Apart from looking so good, they are so smooth to operate, and they have made the house so much quieter,” writes one customer from Dorking. Another customer, from the West Midlands, states: “They are as good as the day they went in, in 1982… I’d like some more, please.”
