Buy A Slice Of History With Our Heritage Windows

The replacement window collection we have at Visual includes multiple styles, including designs that we would deem as heritage windows.

A heritage window is one that has been designed and built in a traditional fashion, using bygone practices and in accordance with historical guidelines.

They’re a mirror image of the type of windows found in listed buildings and at conservation homes, so that’s why planners rarely have an objection to them being fitted as a replacement window into classical residences.

Faithful styling with 21st century performance

Heritage windows are intended to mimic the look of traditional timber windows, with matching proportions and that indispensable wood effect finish.

They’re not crafted from wood though, instead having an aluminium or UPVC profile, materials that are both much stronger, better insulators, and hardly need any maintenance in comparison.

We also supply them with double or triple glazed units, whereas old wooden windows only have a single glass pane, making them less draught proof.

Heritage window options

The main heritage window style is the flush sash window, which you’ll identify for having a completely flush appearance thanks to its openers closing into the window frame.

But there are alternatives, such as cottage windows. Their design features Georgian bars to give them a Georgian style and a charm that you would associate with windows typically seen in cute thatched cottages.

The grid pattern that the Georgian bars create (this can be horizontal or vertical) makes it look as though a cottage window is divided into smaller panes of glass.

The heritage-look has taken off

Customers are choosing heritage windows in their droves from Visual and you will witness that as you check out homes in the West Yorkshire area – so many of them have timber-alternative designs.

We’re not just talking about listed properties and cottages, but also contemporary buildings, as more and more people try to execute an aesthetic seemingly of yesteryear.
