The first selection when you're replacing old windows or fitting new windows in a barn conversion or new build, is what type of windows to purchase. The most commonly used type of windows is casement windows, and they can either be top hung or side hung, with either one or both sides attached, and you can choose to incorporate top vents. Installing sash windows is a further option to choose from. In the main, sash windows are made from wood to which varnish, paint or wood stain can be applied to co-ordinate with interior wood work or other outdoor wooden surfaces. Windows where both panes open are called French windows, whilst tilt and turn windows give flexibility to open a small amount or you can flip them 180 degrees making them a good choice for fire escape windows, as well as making them easy to clean. Windows made from uPVC can have matching cills and window boards and they have the added benefit of not needing regular maintenance and varnishing.
You will have a large selection of types of external doors to select from when old doors need replacing or you are installing new doors on a new build, conversion or extension. If you want doors to open onto a patio, terrace or garden, folding doors, which can be bi-fold or tri-fold, or aluminium framed sliding doors could be the ideal solution for you. When porches are being constructed at the front of properties, or back doors are being replaced, an commonly used alternative to solid wood doors is a composite door, which is largely because energy efficiency is up to 6 times better than solid wood doors. Choosing a door made from uPVC is another option, which comes in various finishes including white, oak veneer and walnut. Doors made from uPVC also tend to be fitted with 5 lever mortice locks and have higher security levels compared to cylinder locks which just have one point of contact with the door frame.
When you're upgrading windows, you can choose between a number of glazing types, such as stained glass, etched glass and frosted glass. Windows with frosted and etched designs are usually fitted in downstairs or upstairs bathrooms and toilets which ensures privacy inside the house. Various types of decorative glass such as coloured or stained panels or leading with edging and gaps or covered with diamond or square designs can be an effective addition to glazing in door panels and windows. Listed buildings and old properties usually need original window designs to be followed when replacement windows are being installed as part of refurbishment work to ensure the original look and feel of the property is not lost.
