Quickslide’s Legacy uPVC sliding sash windows have helped to transform a substantial, Georgian Grade II listed building, underlining Legacy’s credentials as a solution for challenging heritage projects that demand a product to satisfy strict planning regulations.
A total of 24 Legacy sliding sash windows were installed, together with one arched sash frame and two casement windows, all supplied by Quickslide in a white woodgrain finish, transforming the energy efficiency, aesthetics and security of the residential property.
Homeowner, Andrew, commented: “When we bought the property, which dates back to the early 1800s, it was in a bad state of repair and the windows, which had been replaced in the 1980s, were rotting, unsecure and in some places were being held together by Duck tape.
“We urgently needed to replace them, but doing so with timber windows wasn’t a viable option because of the cost and the timescale. After researching alternatives, we discovered that a neighbouring house had been renovated with Quickslide windows and we realised that they offered the most realistic period style for our own property – and that was confirmed when the local planning authority granted us the vital LBC that we required for the renovation.
“Replacing the windows has breathed new life into the house,” he continued. “We love the sliding sashes, the astragal bars and especially the sunburst effect in the large arched window. The tilt mechanism also allows us to clean the new windows from the inside, which is a big bonus on a three-story property!”
Quickslide invested £1.7million last year on a bespoke machining centre ahead of the relaunch of the Legacy VS, and a further £1 million has been earmarked for automation in 2024. The Brighouse based fabricator has also introduced a new online tool, called Legacy On-Screen, which enables trade partners to promote Legacy on their websites with all the latest info, images and technical details.
Available in a wide range of colours, including authentic woodgrains, and with a broad selection of heritage-style hardware options, more details on the Legacy sliding sash can be found at www.quickslide.co.uk.
