When windows start to look old and haggard, there is much to be said for giving them a make-over, with a fresh lick of paint and a damn good clean going a very long way. However, trying to make older windows look as great as possible is always going to be hard work, and may still be a time-consuming and potentially costly operation that only brings superficial benefits at best.
Replacing old timber sash windows with brand new box sash windows can lead to many different benefits. Not only will they look far more attractive and increase the looks of your building far more than any simple paint job will be able to, but there will be a number of other far more important benefits to go along with it.

Modern timber sash windows will no doubt be more effective for numerous reasons. Over time, older windows can warp and seals fail meaning that they are not only less effective, but also less attractive. Whilst new windows will be more effective for this reason, they are also bound to be much more efficient for your home in general.
Modern glass will be stronger and safer, whilst also ensuring the best energy efficiency, keeping heat in when you need it and out when you don't. Modern glass will also help keep more noise out and different options can also help block out UV rays to protect your skin and indeed your furniture and flooring.
Some may worry that the traditional look of their old windows will be lost when they are updated, but the benefit of getting box sash windows is that they can easily be modelled to recreate any look you want, whether you want something totally traditional or something very modern.
So, whilst a paint job may seem like a good idea, the benefits of a full refit will more than justify any extra costs.
