Heritage Windows
Fans of the traditional sash window will be captivated by our Heritage window range
To be able to upgrade the windows at a property within a conservation area or at a listed building, strict guidelines must be abided by and only a select few window systems meet them, including our Heritage windows. Modelled on the traditional sash window, a Heritage window has many of the same trademarks and can be supplied with 28mm double glazing or 44mm triple glazing. Unlike an original sash window, Heritage windows are manufactured from UPVC rather than timber, though you would swear that it has a timber frame. As well as installing them around your home, you can also incorporate Heritage frames into various forms of home extension.
Balhousie makes buying new windows easy...

19th Century timber windows never looked this good...
There is no way that so many planning departments would give the green light to the installation of Heritage windows if they didn’t believe they matched traditional timber windows in the style stakes. Heritage windows have all the characteristics of timber and will leave guests and passers-by in disbelief as they won’t believe they’re not crafted from wood. The likeness in period character is remarkable to say the least.

‘Timber’ windows that don’t need painting or cleaning...
It takes a lot of time and effort to repair a set of timber windows when the easier option would be replace them all with Heritage windows. They don’t need anywhere near the same amount of upkeep as UPVC is a maintenance-free material and simply needs wiping down with a wet cloth to make it pristine. There is no requirement for repainting or repairs as UPVC is a material capable of looking after itself.

We can craft Heritage into a sculptured, contemporary or traditional frame...
It was a very painstaking process trying to develop Heritage windows as we were conscious that they needed to be an exact replica of a traditional sash window with modern benefits. As was customary with a 19th Century timber window, the window sash sits flush against the window frame, and that’s without us using any bit of wood. A Heritage window is also mechanically jointed instead of welded and that explains why when you visit a conservation area you see so many Heritage windows installed.

Privacy glazing is compatible with a Heritage window...
Plain glass is the most popular glass used for a Heritage window, closely followed by energy saving glass which is specifically designed to make a Heritage design more thermally efficient than a standard glazed Heritage window. You can also use privacy glazing which as the name suggests will give you extra privacy indoors.
Privacy glass is most frequently used for bathroom window installations as no-one wants to feel exposed when in the bathroom and privacy glass obscures the view of it from the outdoors. Despite it being a frosted glass, plenty natural light can still pass through it and keep the relevant room illuminated.

The colours make a Heritage window so realistic...
Heritage windows are only taken seriously by planners because of how sympathetically they’re made and how they’re coloured. Several of the colours used on 19th Century timber windows are available for Heritage windows, including Clotted Cream, Painswick, Eclectic Grey, Cotswold Biscuit, Corse Lawn and English, Irish and Silvered Oak.
