White flush sash windows with encapsulated lead in Birkdale
Traditional elegance with modern efficiency
We recently completed the installation of white PVC flush sash windows featuring encapsulated lead detailing throughout, including the replacement of existing bay windows, at a property in Birkdale.
The project focused on maintaining the classic appearance of the home while significantly improving insulation, security and long-term performance.
Project overview
The homeowners wanted to:
Upgrade ageing window units
Retain traditional leaded glass styling
Improve energy efficiency
Modernise the bay window structures
Maintain a clean, classic white finish
Flush sash windows were chosen to provide a smooth, authentic appearance, while encapsulated lead detailing preserved the character of the property.
White PVC flush sash windows
Flush sash windows are designed so the opening sash sits level within the frame, replicating the look of traditional timber joinery. Some key benefits are:
Authentic flush finish
Energy-efficient double glazing
Secure multi-point locking systems
Low maintenance PVC construction
Long-lasting white finish
Smooth operation
The crisp white frames brighten the exterior and interior of the property while complementing the home’s original style.
Encapsulated lead – heritage look without the maintenance
Encapsulated lead is installed within the double-glazed sealed unit, giving the appearance of traditional leaded glass without exposed external lead. Some advantages of encapsulated lead are:
Traditional decorative appearance
No external lead deterioration
Improved thermal efficiency
Easy cleaning
Long-term durability
The encapsulated lead pattern used throughout the property ensures a consistent and elegant design across all elevations
Bay window replacement
The installation included the upgrade of existing bay windows, carefully measured and fitted to maintain the structure and proportions of the property. Bay windows:
-
Enhance natural light
-
Increase internal space and outlook
-
Add architectural interest
-
Require precise installation for structural integrity
The new flush sash bay windows have dramatically improved both the appearance and performance of the home.
Improved comfort and security
The property now benefits from a warmer, quieter and more secure living environment while retaining its traditional charm. The new installation provides:
-
Reduced heat loss
-
Improved draught protection
-
Enhanced acoustic insulation
-
Stronger security features
-
Lower long-term maintenance
