We are doing up our house just now and have decided that we need to put in new windows. Once we'd done the rest of the work it made it clear how bad the windows are.
The house is a Victorian sandstone house and we are trying to keep a lot of the features or replace/restore them i.e. one room had damaged cornicing so I have got some made to match. At the same time we do not have an endless supply of money.
Anyway, we have had a few quotes for new sash windows (uPVC, definitely cannot afford wood) but can't decide if we want composite wood effect or not. The windows we've decided to go for look very good and come with decorative horns and traditionally styled handles. We have seen them in plain uPVC but not with wood effect, I wondered if anyone else had them and what finish would you recommend?
The house next door has uPVC sash and they look good, I am just worried that we regret whatever we pick!
