A Complete Guide To The Heritage Window Collection

Introduction

The Heritage Window Collection contains a broad range of customisable windows and doors. They are all designed to provide excellent thermal performance while maintaining a classic aesthetic for all sorts of properties. Heritage windows and doors can be the perfect choice for new or old homes thanks to their extensive colour options and elegant styles.

But what does the Heritage Window Collection actually contain? The collection includes our flush sash windows, chamfered sash windows, and sculptured sash windows alongside our heritage and heritage flush doors. Additionally, our innovative, market leading Slider24 patio door is also available as part of the Heritage Window Collection.

Sculptured Sash Windows VS Chamfered Sash Windows

The main difference between our sculptured sash windows and chamfered sash windows is the appearance of their frames. Both of these sash windows have outward opening sashes which stand proud of the face of the window frame. However, sculptured sash windows have a more rounded aesthetic, while chamfered sash windows have flatter and straighter edges.

Sculptured sash windows can offer a heritage look to any new property. While the Heritage Window Collection may be constructed out of modern and robust PVCu, we can offer high quality woodgrain foils that mimic the texture and appearance of timber. Chamfered sash windows can bring a sharp yet subtle style to a home to blend with any type of home.

What Are Flush Sash Windows & Flush Doors

Our flush sash windows and heritage flush doors are distinctly characterised by their openers that close into the frame and sit flush with the face of the window. Capable of replicating traditional timber styles, flush sash windows and flush doors can also come in a range of hand picked woodgrains. See what sets flush doors apart from typical doors in this article.

There are plenty of benefits to upgrading a home with modern flush sash windows or doors, including improved energy efficiency, security, and low maintenance performance.

What are Slider24 Patio Doors

Slider24 patio doors are a system that has been designed to provide high grade security and style without compromising on energy efficiency. Made from sturdy PVCu and bespoke glazing, Slider24 patio doors are Document M and Q compliant and have no interlock Plunge Bolts. They can come with a lowered threshold for increased accessibility for wheelchairs, pushchairs, and high levels of foot traffic. 

Just like with our other products, Slider24 patio doors are number one for colour and suit heritage windows perfectly for a winning combination. You can find more information on Slider24 patio doors in this article.

Energy Efficiency

Everything within the Heritage Window Collection is designed to retain heat to help homeowners stay warm and comfortable all year round. Unlike timber, the high quality PVCu used across the Heritage Window Collection windows and doors can trap heat for years without being worn down over time from poor weather conditions like heavy rain or intense heat.

What this means is that homes could trap more ambient heat for longer, leading to a reduced reliance on utilities for warmth, such as gas and electricity. Homeowners could even benefit from reduced energy bills year after year by investing in a new model window or door system from the Heritage Window Collection. See how much a home could save directly by using our new free energy savings calculator.

When it comes to the efficiency ratings of our doors, flush doors have an A energy rating, while Slider24 and heritage doors reach an A+. All our door types have thick glazing alongside heat retaining PVCu frames to provide impressively low U-values. 

Our sculptured sash windows and chamfered sash windows also reach an A+ rating, while the flush sash windows have an outstanding A++. Flush sash windows can be the ideal choice for homeowners looking to make the most of their home’s energy efficiency. Read more about why here. The flush sash windows, sculptured sash windows, and chamfered sash windows are all available in double or triple glazing variations to match energy efficiency and soundproofing needs.

Colour Collection

The Heritage Window Collection is the leading name in colour, with a massive variety of vibrant shades and hues available alongside premium woodgrains in 26 colourways from stock. Our stock colourways can match an existing look or help create an entirely new one, with classics such as English oak, Heritage white, and black ash all available. Plus, all of our windows and doors are also available in more unique shades like golden oak, nut tree, and Chartwell green. 

These extensive colours for our uPVC windows are all highly durable and capable of resisting cracking or fading. Even in the advent of harsh weather conditions, our heritage flush sash windows, chamfered sash windows, and sculptured sash windows can still look their best with minimal maintenance. All of our robust colours come with a manufacturer’s ten year guarantee for complete peace of mind.

The vast colour collection isn’t the only benefit of choosing from the Heritage Window Collection. They can also come in a range of elegant hardware and glazing options for the perfect finishing touch. The extensive list of glazing options includes many types of obscuring glass to combine privacy with a gorgeous appearance. 

Entire homes can be transformed with a new look because our heritage windows can come in the same colours as our heritage doors, letting them perfectly match for an uninterrupted style. Discover more about the colours available for heritage doors here.

Security

At The Heritage Window Collection, we take security seriously. That’s why many of our products are PAS 24 approved, including Slider24, flush doors, sculptured sash windows, chamfered sash windows, and flush sash windows. Additionally, all of our window options come with multi point locking mechanisms as standard.

The Slider24 within our collection also has a security guarantee recognised by the Neighbourhood Watch. Designed with security and safety in mind, Slider24 combines the best of energy efficiency, sleek profiles, and modern locking systems. 

PVCu can withstand hard knocks and sudden blows from unwanted intruders and can maintain its shape without warping, bending, or cracking. Despite its strength, PVCu is surprisingly lightweight, making the entirety of the Heritage Window Collection smooth and easy to operate.

Beautiful Sightlines

Thanks to their PVCu profiles and frames, all the products within the Heritage Window Collection can come with slim and sleek sightlines. Flush sash windows have sleek sashes that sit cleanly within the rest of the frame, which makes them have excellent viewing angles uninterrupted by bulkier frames. Flush doors provide the same incredible views, only enhanced further due to their ability to open up almost an entire wall, flooding homes with natural light.

Meanwhile, sculptured sash windows and chamfered sash windows can both provide beautiful views that bring a different outward aesthetic to a home. No matter the choice, it’s clear that the Heritage Window Collection marries contemporary benefits with traditional style in the best way possible. 

Maintenance

Heritage Window Collection products are easy to maintain for any homeowner. The profiles of flush sash windows are particularly easy to clean due to their lack of nooks and crannies for dirt or dust to accumulate. However, sculptured sash windows and chamfered sash windows are also a very close second due to them having smooth PVCu frames that won’t chip, splinter, or warp compared to wooden counterparts. All it takes to keep our PVCu profiles clean and vibrant is a sponge and warm, soapy water.

This goes the same for our Slider24 patio doors and flush doors as well. Especially since their profiles and frames are so slimline, most of the cleaning will be reserved for the larger panes of glazing. Slider24 patio doors and flush doors have a contemporary trickle vent design that can also help reduce condensation build up, letting our glazing remain clear and warm for its entire lifespan.
