What is the difference between 70mm & 80mm flush sash windows?
Flush Windows Direct’s 70mm Original Flush Sash Windows measure 70mm in frame depth with a 50mm sash size and feature a single-rebated weather seal. They can be manufactured using either welded joints, for a contemporary appearance, or mechanical joints, for a more heritage-inspired look. These windows achieve U-values of 1.3 with double glazing and 0.9 with triple glazing, boasting an energy rating of up to A+. They accommodate 28mm double or triple glazing and hold accreditations such as Secured by Design, BS EN 12608, ISO 9001, and BS EN 6375.
In contrast, the 80mm Resurgence Flush Sash Windows from Flush Windows Direct measure 80mm in frame depth with a 70mm sash size, incorporating a double-rebated weather seal. They eliminate visible external gaskets, and all visible surfaces are foiled to deliver a premium appearance. These windows can be produced using welded joints (modern), mechanical joints (heritage), or Timberweld® joints (heritage) and offer U-values as low as 1.2 with double glazing and 0.8 with triple glazing, achieving an energy rating of up to A++. They can incorporate 28mm double glazing or 36mm/40mm triple glazing with acoustic options, and are accredited with PAS 24, Secured by Design, BS EN 12608, ISO 9001, and BS EN 6375.
Can Flush Windows Direct’s 80mm Resurgence windows be used in conservation areas?
Yes. Many properties within conservation areas require maintaining a traditional timber appearance due to planning or environmental restrictions. Timber frames, however, tend to be expensive, high-maintenance, and challenging to replace. Flush Windows Direct’s 80mm Resurgence windows offer a range of foiled finishes and can be mechanically jointed, creating an authentic timber-like aesthetic that meets conservation guidelines without the drawbacks of genuine timber.
Are Flush Windows Direct’s 80mm Resurgence windows a good timber alternative?
Absolutely. The 80mm Resurgence flush sash windows combine the classic charm of timber with modern uPVC efficiency. Enhanced by woodgrain foils and advanced materials, they provide an authentic appearance, even when opened, while ensuring superior insulation, enhanced security, and minimal maintenance. This perfect synergy of heritage style and contemporary performance makes them an outstanding timber alternative.
What type of finish can Flush Windows Direct’s 80mm Resurgence windows have?
The 80mm Resurgence profile comes in various foiled finishes and can be produced in custom colours. This versatility allows homeowners to achieve a traditional or modern look, depending on their preference. Additional elements like astragal or Georgian bars, as well as bow or bay configurations, further enable you to personalize your window design and create a look that harmonizes with your property’s architectural style.
What welding options are available for 80mm Resurgence windows?
Resurgence windows are engineered so that their 80mm frame and 70mm sash fit flush, avoiding the overlapping appearance seen in standard uPVC windows. They are available with three types of finishing methods: welded joints for a clean, modern appearance; mechanical joints for a more authentic, heritage look; and Timberweld® joints for an exceptionally traditional timber-style finish. These options ensure that you can select the most suitable joint style to complement your home’s character.
