Unique sash windows

Unique design – Surface mounted, bonded external Georgian bars

The Georgian bars that create each pane are crucial to the authentic look of a sash window. Only one thing achieves that result – authentically shaped, securely fixed, surface mounted external glazing bars.

The Bygone Collection uses a patented method of interlocking the Georgian bars together before clamping them to the glass with a Georgi Clip. Bygone sash window bars are guaranteed to stay firmly attached - even when they are used to open the windows!

Large family home with sash windows unique design – Traditional Bespoke Cam Catches

Bygone have specially developed solid brass locking catches, secured directly into steel reinforcing within the sash.

Uniquely, on larger windows where two cams are needed, opposite handed cam catches are used so that the frames cannot be forced to one side to gain entry. Bygone cam catches even have a nylon insert to prevent metal against metal wear to ensure that cams stay in perfect condition.

Unique Design – Torso Balances

Balances are an extremely important component of a sash window. They’re the engine , they provide extra assistance to make it easier to open and close heavy sashes. Torso balances are guaranteed to open and close for at least fifty thousand cycles, that is three times per day, every day for the next fifty years.

Unique Design – Simple, Effective, Limit Stops

Limit stops are devices that prevent a window being opened beyond 100mm initially, particularly important when you have young children to keep safe. When Limit Stops are requested on a Bygone window we will always fit a pair. Fitting only one would cause the lower sash to twist out of square over time.

Sashminder

Unlike standard locks which require fiddly keys to make them secure, sashminder is a magnetic lock that automatically relocks itself each time the sash is closed. Each time you wish to open the sash, simply place the magnetic key onto the sashminder badge and the bolt will release, it really is that simple. Subtle and not visible from the outside this additional security device helps to prevent intrusion.
