Is this the most authentic timber-
alternative sash window available?
Sash windows are staging a dramatic
comeback. After decades of decline, the
classic design is now back in vogue – highly
prized by self-builders for its elegant
style and vintage credentials. And having
helped keep the flame alive for forty years,
Buckinghamshire-based Roseview are now at
the forefront of the sash window revival.
In 1985, Roseview joined forces with London’s
Peabody Trust to produce the UK’s, if not the
world’s, first timber-alternative sash window
for use in a historically sensitive area.
Thirty years on, the company released the
Ultimate Rose. In 2013, its slim timber-
like profiles, meeting rail, and period
features as painstakingly detailed as full
mechanical joints, run-through-sash horns
and traditional sash furniture immediately
marked the Ultimate Rose out as special.
It not only quickly became one of the very
first modern products cleared for use in
several conservation areas, but also won a
much-coveted G Award, the most prestigious
accolade in UK glass and glazing.
In the years since, Roseview has continued to
push the boundaries of what’s possible, and
today, the Ultimate Rose does what it says
on the tin - it’s the most authentic timber-
alternative sash window ever created.
With its slim, timber-like profile and 35mm
midrail, no other sash window looks as
authentic. It would take an expert to tell
it apart from a genuine timber sash. A soft
white woodgrain finish adds an extra touch
of authenticity, but any RAL colour is also
available.
What’s more, you get all that careful
craftsmanship, historic detailing and vintage
appeal with the all-round exceptional
performance of twenty-first century uPVC.
But what really sets the Ultimate Rose apart
is Roseview’s focus on constant evolution –
motivated by a desire to make their products
as good as they can possibly be.
The Ultimate Rose incorporates extreme
weather insulation as standard - usually only
used in areas affected by severe weather
56
conditions. Here, it serves to guarantee
exceptional air-tightness, energy efficiency
and overall performance.
It uses premium-quality locks, balances,
hinges and other hardware from leaders in
the field, despite the availability of much
cheaper components.
And each Ultimate Rose window undergoes
extensive testing in a specialised fitting rig to
ensure sash and frame fit together perfectly
before installation.
Equally suited to conservation area refurbs
as bringing a touch of heritage elegance
to vintage-themed new-builds or projects
seeking to blend the best of old and new,
the Ultimate Rose is one of the best-looking,
best-performing sash windows in the world
– and if you’re interested in learning more,
