Architectural Conservation Sash Windows

There are around 550 architectural conservation areas across the Republic of Ireland. An architectural conservation is an area of specific architectural or historic interest. Properties located in architectural conservation areas are protected by legislation that limits the level of renovations allowed on the building. Any works carried out must be in keeping with the area’s particular character and ensure that a building’s heritage aesthetic is maintained.

Can I install uPVC windows in architectural conservation areas?

The simple answer is YES. uPVC windows are often accepted for use in architectural conservation areas across Ireland. Before you start an architectural conservation area window replacement project, however, you will need to liaise with the local authority to ensure that the windows you intend to use do not detract from the area’s character.

At Victorian Sliders, we have supplied uPVC sliding sash windows for use in architectural conservation areas across Ireland. Our architectural conservation sash windows are designed to tastefully replicate the traditional appearance of original timber windows. They can incorporate a range of classic features into their design and will help to significantly improve a building’s thermal performance capacity.
