Naturally, the higher the rating, the more energy saved. The Energy Savings Trust recommends C rated sash windows due to the energy savings and the reduction in the use of natural resources they bring. It is believed that the average homeowner could save £135 a year on their heating bill through the installation of efficient double glazing and windows. Always look for the Energy Saving Recommended logo on sash window installations.
The Bygone Collection of sash windows has also achieved the prestigious Secured by Design award. This program is endorsed by the Association of Chief Police Officers for England Wales and Northern Ireland (ACPO), to ensure windows installed are independently tested and high security.
Wooden and uPVC Sash Windows
UPVC sash windows are weather resistant yet low maintenance, energy saving and secure, as well as attractive and long-lasting. These combine the longevity of uPVC with an authentic white painted timber effect that creates the breathtaking look of a real wood sash window.
We can even install Bygone’s wooden range of sash windows, crafted from Engineered Softwood or Hardwood in a choice of two stunning finishes: painted or stained finish. The combination of beautiful aesthetics and energy efficiency has never looked so good.
All of the collection’s timber is sourced from 100% Forestry Stewardship Commission ‘Chain of Custody’ woodland. In this way the team at Masterframe are contributing to sustainability, an area that many people are becoming increasingly concerned about.
From replacing your existing sashes to providing a luxurious new window, this collection will remain durable and functional in even the harshest of weather conditions, ensuring a long-lasting solution for your property. In fact, the collection has been certified by the British Board of Agrément (BBA) as a ‘whole of life’ product, which no other sash window collection has been.
