It's not uncommon for homeowners to want to replace their wooden sash windows, but refurbishment is a cheaper and more beneficial option, ensuring your property doesn't lose its curb appeal.

One of the main benefits of choosing sash window refurbishment is that it helps you retain the character of the property. It has aesthetic appeal, helping your property maintain its original design. This is very important in conservation areas and older properties, such as those grade listed in the United Kingdom. Retaining traditional features are imperative in these situations. UPVC windows are not allowed in these areas, therefore refurbishing your wooden sash windows is the best way forward.

Your property value can be improved by having well-maintained sash windows. One of the first impressions your potential buyer has when arriving at the property is the entrance, doors, and windows. First impressions count and if the potential buyer is impressed by the well-maintained windows, they are more likely to look more favourably at the rest of the property.

In addition to this, a major benefit of sash window refurbishment ...
... is the amount of money you can save. Restoration is considerably cheaper than replacing your windows. In most cases, the windows can be repaired and refurbished to provide the best result. Listed building regulations are always met in conservation areas, ensure you work with a company that has experience in this situation to ensure you continue to meet the regulations and avoid having to make changes later on.

One of the main problems for property owners with original sash windows is the cold. Most are not double glazed and this is the number one reason why so many property owners want to change their sash windows. With sash window refurbishment, double glazing can be added without impacting the overall appearance of the windows. This means even when living in a conservation area, you can enjoy the benefits of double glazing, keeping your property warmer during winter, cooler in summer, and help to drown out external noises.

Over time all windows take a beating, they tend to experience general wear and tear, which means the windows start to loosen, not fitting in the frame as they used to. This causes unwelcome rattling on windy days and cold draughts, which can increase your energy consumption as your heating tries to warm the property. Refurbishment means that your sash window expert can seal any draughts, helping to warm your home, reducing noise, and reducing dirt and dust making its way into the home.

Further, property owners that choose sash window refurbishment find they have improved energy efficiency. With the help of draught-proofing and double glazing, energy efficiency is improved. Heat remains within the property, which means using less gas for central heating. In the summer months, use less energy on air conditioning, helping the property stay cool.

The final benefit that is worth noting when it comes to sash window refurbishment is your window life span is extended. Most sash windows have been in the property since it was originally built and some of these properties are over two hundred years of age. With refurbishment services you will find once windows are restored, you can open and close them easily, they will look in excellent condition and you will enjoy all the welcome benefits mentioned above.
