How to choose the right window style for your home in 2023

Choosing new windows for your home can be a tricky decision to make particularly when there are so many different options to consider. With a variety of colours, materials and styles to review there’s lots of pressure on homeowners who are on the hunt for a fresh set of thermally efficient windows. 

Making up a large proportion of the outside of a home, it is important homeowners pick a window style and design that looks elegant and effortless.  

In this blog, we’ll look at the four different styles of window we supply to help you whittle down the huge range of choice and find the perfect match for your home. 

What are the different style of windows available at Sherborne? 

For the last 30 years we have been supplying a full range of double-glazed aluminium, uPVC and timber replacement windows to homeowners in Hampshire.  

We understand the importance of finding a window which complements your property and so we supply a number of distinctive popular window styles including casement, bay, tilt & turn and sash windows. Each one can be fully customised to meet an individual’s choice of colour, furniture, glazing and more. 

Casement windows

Throughout the UK the casement window is most commonly selected by homeowners as their window of choice. 

Featuring an outward opening design, casement windows are incredibly versatile and are well suited to both modern and traditional styles of homes.  

Whether you opt for uPVC, timber or aluminium, our casement windows are incredibly thermally efficient.  

While uPVC and timber are naturally efficient, our aluminium casement windows are complete with polyamide thermal breaks which also helps to reduce the amount of heat transferred outside your home. 

If you’re looking for a slightly different finish, we also offer flush casement windows which means when the window is closed, like its name suggests, it sits flush within the frame creating a flat surface on the outside. 

With their traditional appearance, flush casement windows are ideal for period or heritage homes but can also fit well with more modern properties because of its classic and understated appearance. 

Sash windows

Typically found in UK period homes, vertical sliding sash windows add a touch of elegance to a property. Whether you opt for traditional timber sash windows or the more modern uPVC sash window, each style delivers exceptional thermal performance and keeps homes incredibly secure. 

At Sherborne, we combine 21st century technology with classic styling to deliver a high-quality sash window which brings a property to life. 

Tilt & Turn windows

The tilt & turn offers more flexibility for homeowners because the specially designed hinge means the window can be opened inwards at 90 degrees, while also tilting forwards. 

Best suited to people living in high rise buildings, the clever design of the Sherborne tilt & turn provides incredible levels of ventilation and also provides easy access to clean the exterior of the window safely from the inside of your home.  

Available in uPVC or aluminium, tilt & turn make a fantastic replacement or brand-new addition to your home. Made from high quality materials, the windows have excellent warp resistance and durability to guarantee they’ll last for many years. 

Bay windows

Bay windows are an arrangement of window panes that sit together in a square or polygonal shape. Most commonly the window will protrude from the main wall of the property but in some instances there’s no wall underneath the window. Known as a bow window, the window frames protrude from the wall and are a great alternative type of bay window which adds more natural light into a home. 

Whether you choose uPVC, aluminium or timber, a bay window can add real character to a property and additional space to your living area.
