Edwardian-property uPVC windows in Cwmbran

Owners who want the bay preserved as a feature, not flattened, and hardware that reads period. That's the search intent behind most Edwardian bay-fronted house enquiries for uPVC windows out of Cwmbran. The bay is the whole job. We spec a reinforced-core mullion set with slim sightlines and a deep flush profile so it reads square-on rather than chamfered from the street. Georgian bars only if the original had them. Where the original glazing bars were 22mm ovolo, we match printed bars to that width — not the modern 26mm default. Seafront elevations often benefit from a rain deflector bar over the composite door letter plate — standard spec here. The rear garden extension pattern (added 80s–00s) usually holds the tired patio door — replace it as part of the same job. Original front cills are usually blue engineering brick — leave them, drill through them for the frame fixings. External cill drips block with paint over the decades — raking them clean stops water sitting on the frame after install. Off-street parking makes van access straightforward — we can stage glass in the driveway rather than on the pavement. Vaulted internal ceilings mean the crew works off a small tower for gable glazing — ground protection sheeting mandatory. Frame colour on the front elevation is often deed-restricted to white, cream or a heritage green in conservation areas. Single-skin wall means the frame carries no thermal break at the perimeter — sealant bead depth matters more than usual.
