Modern windows with authentic traditional styling

Replacing the windows in conservation areas can be a real challenge. The difficulty comes with the fact that property owners want to benefit from modern, energy efficient windows without losing the character and charm of traditional ones. Conservation status can limit the number of options there are to choose from. The end result is that property owners need to think carefully what they want and choose windows that are complementary to their property whilst also being energy efficient.
The key thing to remember about windows is that they are vital to the aesthetics of the property. Even seemingly minor details like the style of glass, the thickness of the glazing bars and the joints can have a big impact. At Droylsden Glass we are proud to offer a unique solution for conservation areas. Our Residence 9 Flush Sash Windows can be considered for use in all kinds of conservation areas. They are designed to accurately replicate windows from the 19th Century, making them suitable for a number of period properties. They look authentic whilst also offering all of the benefits of modern windows including double glazing and UPVC frames.
Using UPVC in a conservation area is typically a no-no, but the Residence 9 windows look amazing and will comfortably fit in with the style of your traditional property. Each window is made by talented craftsmen and finished by hand. You can choose butt hinges, authentic style weatherbars and traditional style handles to complete the effect. The windows are also available in a selection of colours to match the ones on your property.
If you would like to upgrade to double glazing but want to simultaneously maintain the character of the property these windows are perfect for you. We are proud to offer residential double glazing throughout Oldham and Greater Manchester, catering for all kinds of properties and requirements.
