How sash windows can improve your property’s kerb appeal

While fashions in architecture and house design come and go, some things remain consistent. Sash windows are a design classic, featured in British homes for centuries. From the Georgian period through the Victorian era and into the Edwardian age, sash windows were the most commonly used window design for both practical and aesthetic purposes. 

Today, they’re not only popular on period properties. They can also be seen in newly built homes, particularly in those developments that emphasise classic design, such as Sherford near Plymouth. 

They not only have an elegant, classic appeal, but they are also highly functional. In fact, they can give your home that all-important kerb appeal that sets it apart from your neighbours.

So how do sash windows enhance the overall appearance of your home?

Classic, period charm

Sash windows blend classic British design with style, making your home look more attractive. If you live in a period property, then sash windows can ensure that it retains its original period appearance. Whether it’s a thatched cottage in the South Hams, an elegant Exeter townhouse, or a stylish Torbay conversion, sash windows can give your home a timeless elegance and instant appeal.

Balance and proportion

Sash windows have a neat, symmetrical design that creates a clean and orderly appearance. This sense of balance and proportion adds to the refined look of sash windows. They create a calm, clean appearance, that adds a sense of harmony to your home.

Versatile

While sash windows are readily associated with period properties, they can enhance the kerb appeal of homes of all ages. You can also choose different colours for the window frames to match or contrast with your home’s paint or brickwork. Available in a range of styles, it’s easy to find a design that matches your property’s overall appearance.

Improve natural light

Sash windows allow more light to enter your home. From the outside, this makes the property look brighter and more inviting. This increased light enhances the overall appeal of the home’s interior, creating an inviting atmosphere.

Energy efficiency and noise reduction

Modern double-glazed sash windows provide excellent insulation and thermal regulation. They help to keep your home warm in the winter and cooler in the summer. With improved soundproofing, sash windows can also make your home quieter. This is particularly valuable if you live in a busier urban area. Eliminating visible condensation improves the appearance of your property and enhances its kerb appeal.

Restoring heritage features

Maintaining or restoring sash windows can be essential to preserve architectural integrity. By replacing older, draughty windows with modern timber sash windows, a period property can be given a new lease of life. This protects the historic appearance of the property while improving its energy performance.
