What makes Bygone sash windows so traditional?

All our ranges are designed to satisfy the requirements of modern windows and to comply with current building regulations. However, the first requirement is still for the windows to blend seamlessly into their surroundings and to retain the character, charm and period feel of your home.

To ensure you’ll have beautiful windows, we’ve taken the time to study original sash windows and to recreate the critically important details like these;

• Slim sight-lines through both the upper and lower sashes maximises the visible glass area. • Equal panes in both sashes creates a balanced appearance consistent with original timber sash windows. • External staff bead detail on the frame and an option for internal staff bead trims, to conceal the inner workings of the window, just like old sash window boxes.

• Continuous run-through sash horns (not shiny plastic clip-ons), utilised by the Victorians and designed to place more material below the mortise, therefore strengthening the stile. • A traditional, butt jointed deep bottom rail (DBR) and bespoke sash sections, ensure the appearance is appropriate, rather than four sections of the same width simply welded together. • Our grained acrylic foil finish is designed to look like painted timber. • This finish creates a stunning painted wood appearance. It’s extremely low maintenance and the durability extends the life of a standard

PVC-U shiny plastic finish. So convincing is this effect, that one town planner building his own home, could not believe the window he was leaning against was a PVC-U product. • A patented infill strip hides over 50% of the visible brush pile on the inside of the window, making it aesthetically more attractive and easier to slide. The remaining brush pile can be hidden behind the internal staff bead trim.
