Wooden Sash Windows: Authenticity for a Modern Home

Thursday, March 8th, 2012

While new product developments may in fact provide us with everything we need in this modern world, we can at times be left yearning for iterations of the past which came with more character or excitement. Take sash windows as an example – the conventional, less attractive windows that now adorn homes across Britain are the prescribed choice because they provide insulation and energy efficiency, but can never compare to the eye-catching appearance of a traditional sash window.

The Bygone Collection provide the perfect solution because in addition to their expertly crafted PVC-U sashes, their range of both timber or hardwood sash windows provide the traditional aesthetics that make sash windows so desirable, and combine it with the latest in modern workmanship and glazing technologies to result in windows that cover every requirement of a modern home.

The authenticity can be seen in each piece of timber used, as the Bygone Collection only use the finest quality materials that have been responsibly sourced and treated to prevent fungal deterioration. Then, the energy efficiency of each window is backed up with a BFRC A rating and Energy Savings recommendations from the Energy Savings Trust, which means that your new Bygone Collection sash windows will provide the best insulation for your home and therefore cut down on how much you are paying on energy bills and harming the environment all around us.

Both of these qualities come together to reinstate sash windows as the very best choice for windows across the country. Make sure to contact Bygone Collection to find out more about both their wooden and PVC-U windows, and to discuss the specific requirements of your home.

Timber Sash Windows: Good for Your Home and the Environment

Friday, January 6th, 2012

As homeowners become more aware of the impact their lifestyle can have on the environment, many people are looking for alternative, sustainable ways to update their properties. If you are looking to replace your windows, you can enjoy greater efficiency by investing in modern, double-glazed windows which can help to keep your home insulated and your energy bills low, but what about the process involved in making these windows? Truly sustainable timber sash windows are efficient and environmentally friendly from the beginning of their manufacture, and these green windows are a Bygone Collection speciality.

Timber is a precious resource, and by only using 100% FSC approved materials, Bygone Collection can help to ensure that their timber sash windows have a minimal impact on the environment. The Forestry Stewardship Council regulates and prohibits the conversion of forests and the use of hazardous pesticides to help protect forests for the future.

Sustainable timber sash windows should be hard-wearing to enable them to last as long as possible. Once you have invested in windows from Bygone Collection, we understand that you will want to be able to enjoy their benefits for many years to come. By treating our timber with a Boron anti-fungal preservative we can protect our timber sash windows from insect and fungal attack, without ever harming the environment.

All of our bespoke timber sash windows are carefully designed to match each customer’s requirements, and we try to minimise timber wastage where possible. Any waste that does result from our operation is disposed of in a wood burning boiler system from the Carbon Trust, which can help to reduce the energy costs of our manufacturing process. We heat our premises using this boiler, and the heat is also used for drying on the paint and preservation lines. We believe that this is a much better alternative to sending excess timber to landfill.

If you want to feel confident that your new timber sash windows are good for the environment as well as good for your home, then there is only one company to choose. Invest in windows from Bygone Collection today and enjoy a more sustainable future.

Keep Out the Cold this Winter with Sash Windows

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

After a long day spent battling icy driving conditions and shivering in a cold office, we all look forward to the comforts of home. As you become more reluctant to venture out in the evenings, your home can provide a warm refuge from the elements. High-quality windows are an essential feature of any property, and can make the difference between an uncomfortable winter and a warm, cosy one. For windows which can bring a touch of classic style to your home whilst also helping to keep out the cold, choose sash windows from Bygone Collection.

The best sash windows are those which combine modern efficiency with traditional style. Old windows which are showing signs of wear and tear can result in uncomfortable draughts and a loss of valuable heat from your home. Bygone Collection sash windows were the first to obtain certification from the Energy Saving Trust, and have a Window Energy Rating of A as standard.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, 20% of heat loss in an average home occurs via the windows, and for single glazed sash windows this figure can be even higher. Although the original sash windows in your period property may still look the part, by modern standards they cannot offer the efficiency required. Bygone Collection sashes are proven to reduce heat loss by at least 74%, which can help you to conserve heat and save money whilst also helping the environment.

All of our sash windows are double glazed to ensure maximum efficiency, but still retain many of the authentic features which make sashes so distinctive and so popular. Our windows are also designed to provide a consistently high standard of insulation, which means sash windows from Bygone Collection can make an impressive and efficient feature of your home for many years to come.

Whether you live in a modern or period property, our bespoke sash windows are the perfect way to transform your home with an authentic touch of style, whilst also enjoying all of the benefits of modern windows. For a warm and cosy winter, look no further than Bygone Collection.

There are a wide variety of options available when you are shopping for new windows, and it can be tempting to save money where you can by choosing the cheapest product.

Our windows can help to maintain the traditional appearance of your home, whilst also helping to make your property warmer with their modern, energy-efficient design. Our sashes could subsequently help to lower your energy bills; giving you a good return on your investment and rewarding you for choosing Bygone Collection.

We understand that sometimes the ideas you have for refurbishing your home can be limited by your budget. This is why we will never encourage you to purchase windows which you cannot afford. Instead, our team will work with you to create a unique design which meets both your budget and requirements; allowing you to enjoy great value for money.

Cheap double glazing may save you money initially, but it could end up being a costly option if the windows prove to be inefficient or require expensive repairs in future.
