This guide is not aimed at restricting or criticising window styles but is designed to give advice on what most people consider to be aesthetically pleasing. Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder and the final arbiter is you, i.e. do you like it or not? The relatively recent introduction of the double glazed replacement window has led to an ability to change not just the performance but the character of a building. In listed buildings and in conservation areas with an Article IV direction, it is not permitted to replace windows without the approval of the local planning authority. For these instances refer to the BPF publication Replacement Windows and Planning Law (available from the BPF Windows Group Bookshop at http://www.bpfwindowsgroup.com/bookshop.cfm). If in doubt, it is always wise to check with the local council planning department.
This guide will give an historical perspective on how windows came to be as they are today - this will range from early church architecture through to modern housing. The principles of what is generally perceived to be good design will be explored and related back to the historic examples; it will give examples of replacement windows that are sympathetic to the original character of the building and some that are less so; and it will give guidance on compliance with Building Regulations.
