Choosing the right windows for your home

Commonly referred to as the “eyes of the home”, windows couldn’t be a more quintessentially important part of the property. The best way to enjoy great performance, impressive outside views, as well as beautiful style, making the right selection when swapping out your exsisting frames for high quality replacements might seem like a tough task, Albion Windows are here to help!

Alleviating most of the usual stresses that can sometimes arise, Albion Windows are perfectly primed to aid homeowners, having over 30 years’ experience operating in and around Bromley. But with so many window styles on offer – casement, sliding sash, bay, flush, and others – Where should you start?

It all begins with your property style…

The easiest way to settle on your ideal window style when first starting out, is to determine what will and won’t tie in with your property’s existing character and aesthetic. Quite a few houses in Bromley, for example, are appropriately picturesque in their ability to evoke a style reminiscent of the Tudor era. Wholly flush sash windows would be the obvious style in this case, retaining a classically neat style albeit with modern performance and function.

Properties that are slightly more contemporary on the other hand tend to suit windows that are less on the lavish side. Simple casements that are clean, crisp, and engineered in sleek aluminium might seem quite vanilla at first, but when coloured in an unusual tone that’s a little more eye-grabbing, you’ll soon find that it’s easy to get creative. Simply put, choosing the right windows for your home isn’t as daunting when using your property’s style as inspiration.

Window designs that reflect both the past and future

As has already been demonstrated, there are certain window styles that lean towards the past, but others towards the future. Certain design elements within your chosen replacements will dictate how far each does this. Vertical sliders may have historically featured grid-like astragal bar patterns, but those residing in a modern home can do away with this typical heritage charm by doing away with them.

Experimenting with elements in this way means tailoring an aesthetic that better suits your home and personal preference, freeing you up from sticking to strict conventions. Certain materials are easier to shape than others. But needless to say, almost any desired look can be accomplished with uPVC windows.

Impressive insulation as well as great style

Regardless of your chosen window style, one factor that shouldn’t be play on your mind is whether your windows will keep you secure and comfortable.
