Need help with choosing which type/style of windows



Hi, We have a 1930s red brick house in the South East of England and the current uPVC (with lead bars in them) windows need replacing. We have decided to go again for uPVC but in white woodgrain. However, my choice would be for plain glass (without any lines of lead or with bars) in as few panels as possible to let as much light in as possible and also not to overcrowd the windows considering that we will have horizontal blinds inside. My husband thinks we should keep the led lines or add Georgian white bars inside. I need help as I don't want the new windows to destroy the look so I want to get it right... Thanks! Ari

    Have You thought of doing a different coloured window frame? I think black would be more sophisticated and still give the windows definition. I agree with your husband ; keep the leaded glass idea as it is in keeping with the style of your home

    Thank you both very much. I think we will stick with white (as we are not changing the right hand side door for the time being) and we will remove the small top sections on the windows to keep them bigger and cleaner and add lead lines for those front windows (and no lead line at the back of the house as there is a modern extension anyhow).

    Our recommendation to clients is to take a walk down your street and see what's around and catches your eye. It's also best to be in keeping with the area. Your Timber Windows Ltd team

    Why not wood? They'll last longer and be much classier.
