In modern days the appearance of house exteriors are considered to be just as important as house interiors. From TV programs like Grand Designs to Homes under the Hammer, we’ve seen that each individual has their own unique decor objectives to complement their needs.
Whilst decor trends will change seasonally, it’s fair to say there are certain aspects that will always remain in fashion. One of these trending styles is sash windows. This particular bravura of windows combines traditional styles with more up to date techniques. Their elegant appearance is the main selling point when it comes to these light breathing beauties. However unlike your typical modern day double glazed windows that open out with a hinge, sash windows use a counter weight made from heavy steel or lead to help move the adjustable panel vertically or horizontally. Thus assisting in the opening and closing of the window itself.
Dating back to seventeenth century these particular windows are an all-time favourite. Today you can purchase sash window fittings in an array of finishes, which enables them to be versatile to different people’s tastes. So whether you’re looking for unlacquered brass, antique brass, satin brass or even satin nickel sash window fittings, then it’s simply a case of sourcing out a decent supplier or ironmongers to get a fitting that suits your particular tastes. As everything has moved digitally over the last few decades, you no longer have to rely on visiting a showroom to see what you’re buying, however there are some really good merchants out there who will offer the option to shop online and visit a showroom.
A & H Brass are an ironmongers based in London that have a complete array of sash window hardware and fittings, in a selection of different finishes, so that you can hand select the style you want. You can browse through their complete online collection, and even arrange a visit to their London showroom to see the products and materials first hand.
Though you will be able to find a range of different styles, it’s important to do you research and not make any hasty purchases, as whilst most will be affordable, you need to think about how you want your house or property to look many years down the line. The great thing about sash windows is that they remain timeless throughout the decades and will always remain a decor favourite!
