What Is A Heritage Window?
A heritage window is made following a traditional design, meeting the historic guidelines to uphold the original character of a property.
Therefore, they are often chosen by homeowners planning to restore the authentic styling of their 19th and 20th century period home and for those living in houses classified as ‘Listed’ or located in conservation areas.
There are a number of rules imposed by planners for these specific replacement windows, and if you live in these types of properties, you are required by law to retain the original look of the building. Fortunately, heritage windows will likely satisfy their standards due to carefully designed features and loyal, modest styling updates.
Combining classic style with modern benefits
A heritage window will maintain the appeal of timber windows through their realistic woodgrain finishes and historically accurate proportions, making them an ideal alternative. However, when it comes to modern performance and functionality, heritage windows tick every box.
Heritage windows are much more low maintenance than their timber counterparts, which can often lose strength over time, as well as see a decline in energy efficiency.
Replacing timber windows with Joedan’s collection of heritage windows will result in a warmer, less draughty home. Available in our Lusso aluminium and Portofino UPVC ranges, you’ll benefit from less upkeep and more durable, thermally efficient windows.
Types of heritage windows available
One of our most popular heritage windows is the flush sash window. When closed, the sashes sit flat with the frame. Dating back to the 19th century, these windows are a perfect window substitute for traditional homes.
Cottage windows are another sought-after style of heritage windows. Their Georgian bars effortlessly imitate the timeless style of windows found in Georgian cottages.
The elegant Georgian bars are placed in a criss-cross design to give the illusion of multiple panes of glass (which would be costly), but instead it is a carefully crafted grid pattern.
