We were recently commissioned to carry out a heritage window upgrade for a stunning period property situated within a conservation area in Ilkeston, Derbyshire. The brief was clear: the client wished to retain the elegant, traditional appearance of timber sash windows, but without the ongoing maintenance and issues typically associated with old wooden frames. The ideal solution? A set of timber-alternative windows in the form of UPVC sliding sash windows, complete with mechanical joints and slim meeting rails. These are engineered to mimic the classic style of original sash windows, while offering modern-day advantages like thermal efficiency, security, and zero maintenance.

We supplied and installed a set of conservation area windows featuring UPVC sliding sash windows, expertly crafted to replicate original timber joinery—down to the smallest detail. These timber-alternative windows included mechanically jointed frames with no welded corners, ensuring an authentic appearance, as well as slimline meeting rails and deep bottom rails that provide a traditional sash look, making them virtually indistinguishable from real timber.
Key features of this heritage window upgrade include:
- Timber-effect UPVC sliding sash windows
- Mechanically jointed frames – no welded corners, for a truly authentic appearance
- Slim meeting rails – closely resembling original Victorian/Edwardian profiles
- White woodgrain finish – offers the aesthetic of painted timber
- Easy-clean tilt functionality – for enhanced convenience and practicality
