When you are looking for an experienced and accredited manufacturer of bespoke sash windows, look no further than Bygone Collection.

Ever since their introduction in the mid 1600’s, sash windows have been a popular choice. In the twenty-first century, as more people take an interest in the conservation of period properties, and homeowners begin to appreciate the craftsmanship of sash windows, these unique windows are enjoying even greater popularity. Originally only available to rich merchants who would use sashes to enhance their grand town houses, now sash windows can be affordable for all thanks to Bygone Collection.

In the 18th century, renovations of older properties were widespread and sash windows were often installed to bring a touch of style to these homes. The Georgians designed their sash windows to be elegant and timeless, and their designs are still frequently replicated today. Later, the industrious Victorians perfected their manufacturing techniques to create larger panes of glass for a more impressive finish.

Today, the highly-qualified team of craftsmen at Bygone Collection have established a fantastic reputation for the quality of our sash windows. We are committed to creating authentic windows which continue in the illustrious sash window tradition. Although we use modern manufacturing methods, we always ensure that our windows are authentically proportioned and designed to reflect the history of sash windows.

Modern homes have different requirements to those properties that featured the very first sash windows, which is why Bygone Collection sashes are designed to meet modern requirements of insulation, efficiency and durability. For windows which are faithful to four hundred years of history, look no further than our specialist team and the bespoke sash windows which they can create.

Stylish Paint Stains and Finishes

Bygone Collection sash windows are finished in white as standard: the classic sash window shade. Should you require a different colour or finish to complement your home, our team can add this bespoke touch to your sash windows, and our high performance microporous water-based coatings are guaranteed to remain looking fantastic for ten years.

Effective Preservation

Whether you are investing in new sash windows to preserve your period property, or are looking to update a more modern home, you will expect your timber windows to last. Our natural, non-toxic Boron timber preservative can protect your windows against rot and fungal attack for a guaranteed thirty years.

Engineered Timbers

Engineered timber can offer unrivalled long-term durability. This helps to ensure that your sash windows are strong enough to withstand the elements, and our 100% FSC-approved European Redwood also helps to guarantee that your windows can be sustainable as well as stylish.

Authentic Design Features

The small style touches of Bygone Windows help to make them indistinguishable from original sash windows. Deep bottom rails, staff bead frame detailing and Georgian bars all add authenticity to our timber windows, whilst our distinctive window hardware – available in chrome, pewter or antique brass – can add the perfect finishing touch to your windows.

Decorative Horns

These decorative touches are found below the top sash, and are one of the features which help to make sash windows so distinctive. Now purely decorative, their purpose was originally to prevent the sash being pulled down too far.

Wooden sash windows from Bygone Collection are a fantastic way to update any home, and can help you to recreate traditional sash window style without ever compromising on authenticity.

Timber is a precious resource, and by only using 100% FSC approved materials, Bygone Collection can help to ensure that their timber sash windows have a minimal impact on the environment. The Forestry Stewardship Council regulates and prohibits the conversion of forests and the use of hazardous pesticides to help protect forests for the future.

Sustainable timber sash windows should be hard-wearing to enable them to last as long as possible. Once you have invested in windows from Bygone Collection, we understand that you will want to be able to enjoy their benefits for many years to come. By treating our timber with a Boron anti-fungal preservative we can protect our timber sash windows from insect and fungal attack, without ever harming the environment.

All of our bespoke timber sash windows are carefully designed to match each customer’s requirements, and we try to minimise timber wastage where possible. Any waste that does result from our operation is disposed of in a wood burning boiler system from the Carbon Trust, which can help to reduce the energy costs of our manufacturing process. We heat our premises using this boiler, and the heat is also used for drying on the paint and preservation lines. We believe that this is a much better alternative to sending excess timber to landfill.

If you want to feel confident that your new timber sash windows are good for the environment as well as good for your home, then there is only one company to choose. Invest in windows from Bygone Collection today and enjoy a more sustainable future.

The best sash windows are those which combine modern efficiency with traditional style. Old windows which are showing signs of wear and tear can result in uncomfortable draughts and a loss of valuable heat from your home. Bygone Collection sash windows were the first to obtain certification from the Energy Saving Trust, and have a Window Energy Rating of A as standard.

According to the Energy Saving Trust, 20% of heat loss in an average home occurs via the windows, and for single glazed sash windows this figure can be even higher. Although the original sash windows in your period property may still look the part, by modern standards they cannot offer the efficiency required. Bygone Collection sashes are proven to reduce heat loss by at least 74%, which can help you to conserve heat and save money whilst also helping the environment.

All of our sash windows are double glazed to ensure maximum efficiency, but still retain many of the authentic features which make sashes so distinctive and so popular. Our windows are also designed to provide a consistently high standard of insulation, which means sash windows from Bygone Collection can make an impressive and efficient feature of your home for many years to come.

Whether you live in a modern or period property, our bespoke sash windows are the perfect way to transform your home with an authentic touch of style, whilst also enjoying all of the benefits of modern windows. For a warm and cosy winter, look no further than Bygone Collection.
