Sash window advice
By providing you with best practice information from the outset we hope to enable you to avoid costly mistakes and ensure you purchase new sash windows that suit your home perfectly.
Every double glazed sash window we manufacture is bespoke, each is tailored to meet your requirements exactly, and so it is vital that we explain the choices available to you… In this way, you can decide in your own time those items you consider most important to you, those which will benefit you, and remove unnecessary items so that the total cost for your new double glazing is kept to a minimum.
Will you overcharge me?
No. We have no desire to overcharge you for your windows; we hope you are so pleased with the service you receive that you recommend us to your friends. We would much prefer you to purchase a basic product and be happy with your choice, than to purchase sash windows with lots of costly extras that you may not require, and you deem unnecessary. That's why we explain the choices available, so you can be confident that the ones you decide are right for your budget and will suit your home.
Bygone windows seem expensive, are they premium quality, purpose made sash windows?
Be assured that all our products are of the very highest standard. Many companies claim to be high quality, but NONE have been independently tested by The British Board of Agrément (B.B.A.) for "whole of Life " testing to the same extent that ours have.
Are there quality checks in the factory?
Yes, every step of the way. In addition, each component has been skilfully designed and rigorously tested, then inspected, before, during and after manufacture, which means you can have complete peace of mind that the UPVC sash windows you buy will not let you down.
What's wrong with buying the cheapest?
Well, first the cheapest option normally means they are not sash windows. Other types of double glazing are frequently cheaper but if you want sashes to compliment the period of your house or because you live in a conservation area they won't be suitable. Even if they are sash windows you won't get all the benefits of Bygone collection from the lower cost windows. We do understand that sometimes funds simply do not stretch far enough, but if you're looking for good quality and a long lasting window, why not consider just doing the front or upstairs only initially? Don't forget, when someone says, "we can do the same thing only cheaper", there is generally a cost to it, one that YOU end up paying for later because THEY cut corners today!. If it's cheaper it isn't a Bygone sash window - you have nothing to lose by viewing the Bygone Collection and we believe you'll understand our comments about quality as soon as you do.
How do I choose a good installer that I can have confidence in?
The biggest issue for most people is that it's virtually impossible to find a double glazing installer you can trust, and with over 12,000 to choose from, it's no easy task.
- Either they are a phoenix from some other firm who went bust with the same (or very similar sounding) company name,
- Or they discount like crazy so you feel forced into buying something that's on special offer just today, tonight, this month etc and not actually right for you or your home,
- Or they just simply outstay their welcome!
Well, we have done the selecting for you, Bygone preferred installers have proven to us that they share our values, seek to provide great value to you, and have assured us of their commitment to a professional sash window installation.
In addition, if you use their services we guarantee to help YOU should the worst happen and things go wrong… a way to say thank you for investing in The Bygone Windows Collection.
