Windows Restoration or Replacement?
Most of us are probably tired of reading about governmental cuts and the much debated spending review of the recent weeks, but there's no doubt that saving money will still be at the back of everyone's minds. With the entire country tightening its belt, it's only natural to be thinking about how to save a few pounds in the short term, and this article questions which would be the better route for homeowners, with old or damaged sash windows, to take; restoration or replacement. It's a timely question, the answer for which has far reaching implications for you and your family.
Restoration
At first glance, repairing your windows or having a local handyman may seem like the most logical and cost effective solution - in a relatively short time you can have your windows working properly again. However, as specialists in manufacturing precision sashes, most established teams would advise against the continual renovation of older windows.
While some contractors may be fully conversant with common casement windows, sash windows are notoriously complex and require attention from properly trained professionals; otherwise you may find your repaired windows are draughty, misshapen and return to their poor condition in a short space of time.
Replacement
Though it costs slightly more overall, if the right windows are chosen replacement is the option with a greater return. Not only can some new sashes recreate traditionally genuine aesthetics, they also come with extensive and long lasting guarantees.
This means that the provider has confidence that they'll last until long after the current economic difficulties have passed, and won't require propping up with continual investment over the coming years. New sash windows are also more eco - friendly, and therefore represent a purchase which is in keeping with contemporary and expected future efforts to reduce climate change.

Double or Triple Glazing?
Triple-glazing is often marketed as a better option than double-glazing. While it’s true that triple-glazing does offer some benefits, it may not be the best or most economical solution for you. Triple-glazing is what enables window manufacturers to achieve U-values of 1.0 and better.
But such U-values are really only of benefit where they fit into an overall energy saving build, such as in a low energy house or a passive house.
Where windows are being fitted into a standard build or as part of a refurbishment project then double-glazed units offering U-values as good as 1.1 are preferable. And other benefits such as noise-reduction and solar control can be included in double-glazing for less than the cost of a standard triple-glazed unit.

It does pay off
to hire professional window fitters.
Installing or replacing windows is something you might be tempted to do yourself, but first consider the benefits of a professional installation. Here are the top three reasons to hire a pro.
Guaranteed Professional Results: A professional installer has lots of knowledge and experience when it comes to replacing windows.
No Clean Up: Part of a good installer’s commitment is to leave your premises as they were before installation, which means removing all construction debris and leaving the work area clean.
Protection: If there’s a warranty issue, it’s usually due to either the product or the installation.
Because a professional installer has extensive experience with preparing and installing windows within a building envelope, it’s reasonable to expect your installer will be the most qualified and trustworthy person to do the job and to process any warranty requests should a problem arise.
