Advice From County On Selecting The Right Window Style
Picking the right window style for a house is so pivotal – make the wrong choice and it can completely ruin a home’s character.
If you’re reading this blog because you’re interested in replacing your existing windows, County has some advice to ensure your choice of replacement window is the right one.
Period properties
Preservation is key with cottages and heritage buildings – you don’t want windows that negatively alter their appearance. We have styles that are specifically made for such historic homes.
One example is our sliding sash windows, a design that is akin to the traditional sliding sash window that dates back centuries, but built with modern performance in mind, particularly in terms of security and energy efficiency.
For a like-for-like replacement for windows with glazing bars, ask about our cottage windows, which feature this detailing.

Modern properties
Searching for a suitable replacement window for a new-build house or want a style that will sustain a contemporary aesthetic? Our stunning aluminium windows will cater for both.
With a super-slim frame and very large glazed expanses, they are the embodiment of modern window design and will leave your home looking ultra-fashionable.
We’ll finish them for you in any on-trend colour you want as we can recreate all RAL colours and apply them using a powder-coated method.

20th Century properties
For simplicity purposes, we’re going to call any home that’s not period or a new-build a 20th Century home. Pretty much anything goes for these types of property.
Make your selection based on what catches your eye the most and how you want the windows to operate from a functionalist perspective.
Bay and Bow windows would be a visually interesting choice, with their rectangular, polygon or circular shape bringing depth and added light to a house. Or there’s the casement window, a bonafide classic and very low-maintenance solution.
