Masterframe's views on Conservation Areas
We are passionate about sash windows, but please understand that we also feel there are great buildings that need to be maintained in their original state for the safe keeping of the nations history. Masterframe believe due to outstanding design of our windows, that they are suitable for some Grade II listed buildings and for many conservation areas. We have designed our windows as closely as possible to the originals by including details such as continuous horns, deep bottom rails, chamfered sashes and astragal bars to recreate the original "putty line" and even a white wood grain finish to remove the shiny plastic look of most PVC windows.
From our research we believe that most conservation officers don't dislike PVC, they just instinctivley think of the thousands of the unsightly PVC casement windows that many owners have installed at some stange, which has changed the character of the property and in some cases ruined the appeal of the area.
