Heritage price match

Synseal Group is offering a price match on like-for-like quotes on its Evolve VS vertical sliding sash window range.

Andy Jones, group sales and marketing director, said: “We have some of the best vertical sliders available in the industry, pre-fabricated in-house and readily available on a seven-day turnaround so our fabricators can rely on a consistent supply chain of this popular product alongside their bar length orders.

“We have seen some really creative installations with our VS windows including beautiful conversions of heritage properties, benefiting from the modern technology of PVCU windows but with the look of traditional timber. When combined with run-through horns and Georgian bars, it means homeowners can have the best of both world with a very classic style that will last much longer than timber and will be a lot easier to maintain.”

One example of a heritage conversion is a traditional farmhouse in Nottinghamshire which underwent a large scale renovation to blend the old with the new. The homeowners faced problems with the original timber windows which needed regular maintenance and repainting – a huge job to undertake on a house with more than 40 window apertures.

Homeowner Cindy, who opted for dual colour vertical sliders with decorative sash horns, said: “For a house like this that would have had vertical sliders originally, it just felt right to put them back, but in a modern way. So we’ve opted for PVCU windows with a woodgrain finish, meaning from the outside they look exactly as they should look, plus we chose the wood effect finish on the inside too which to the untrained eye just looks like a wooden window – and they’re fantastic.”
