Timber Alternative Windows in Frenchay, Bristol
Brand:
When replacing windows in a conservation area you must conform to certain criteria, namely the material used in the construction of the original and the ‘style’ of the window must be replicated as closely as possible in the replacement product.
The Storm 2
The Storm 2, exclusive to Panoramic, has demonstrated that it is suitable to the planning authorities in Bristol as a suitable replacement for timber windows in a conservation area. The Unique storm window retains the elegant slim proportions of traditional hardwood windows. The timber style jointing system combined with an unparalleled attention to detail make it difficult to believe it isn’t wood.
As a result they have been approved for use in many sensitive conservation areas throughout the UK.
Furthermore the window range are ‘A’ rated for energy performance and the use of the latest generation of modern materials means minimal maintenance, enhanced security and lower costs compared to timber windows.
The Homeowner was delighted to have retained the character of the property whilst gaining from benefits of modern window technology. In his own words “these windows have proved to be an excellent choice, the detail is superb they just look so authentic”
SIMILAR CASE STUDY
Getting Planning Permission In Conservation Areas
Local authorities monitor and approve requests to fit uPVC windows in conservation sites, where like-for-like replacements are normally mandatory. Until recently, timber was regarded as the best material for the job.
Getting planning permission to use uPVC windows for refurbishment or repair projects is easier than it used to be. Advancements in window design mean that uPVC is approved for use in conservation sites by local councils more often.
