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
