The Bygone Collection Sliding Sash Windows
At Cara Glass, we are proud to be installers of Masterframe across Salisbury, Wiltshire, and the surrounding regions, including throughout the New Forest
The Bygone Collection is made up of three sliding sash window ranges: Harmony, Symphony and Melody. Each has been designed to suit different types of properties and priorities, offering varying levels of detailing, authenticity and refinement.
Symphony Sliding Sash Windows
Symphony Sliding Sash Windows is widely considered the most versatile option in the collection and works particularly well for Victorian and Edwardian properties. With features such as deeper bottom rails and optional run-through horns, Symphony offers a noticeably more authentic appearance than Harmony, while still benefiting from modern uPVC performance. For many homeowners, Symphony provides the ideal balance between heritage aesthetics and everyday practicality.
Harmony Sliding Sash Windows
Harmony is the most straightforward and contemporary of the three ranges. It offers the clean lines and vertical movement associated with sliding sash windows, but with a simpler overall design. Harmony is often chosen for modern homes or renovations where the sash style is desired, but strict period detailing is not essential. It delivers excellent thermal efficiency, smooth operation and low maintenance, making it a practical and cost-effective option.
Melody Sash Windows
Melody sits at the top of the Bygone Collection and is designed for those who want the closest possible alternative to traditional timber sash windows. This range focuses on refined detailing, slim sightlines and highly accurate proportions, making it especially suitable for period and heritage-style homes. Melody is often chosen where appearance is paramount and where the windows need to sit comfortably alongside original architectural features. It delivers outstanding thermal and acoustic performance while maintaining a truly traditional look.
Key Differences Between Symphony, Harmony & Melody
While all three ranges offer the classic look of sliding sash windows, there are some key differences in design and specification. Both Harmony and Melody feature a slim 39mm middle rail, creating a more refined appearance. Melody, however, sits at the premium end of the range, with an 18mm krypton-filled double glazed unit compared to the 24mm argon-filled units used in the other options. It also includes a deep internal Ovolo glazing bead and a GRP deep cill as standard, providing a more authentic, traditional finish.

Comparing Harmony, Symphony and Melody
The key differences between the three ranges lie in the level of detailing and authenticity. Harmony prioritises simplicity and value, Symphony introduces traditional design elements that suit older properties, and Melody offers the highest level of refinement and heritage accuracy. All three ranges benefit from Masterframe’s engineering, security features and insulation standards, but the visual impact and degree of customisation increase as you move through the collection.
At Cara Glass, we help homeowners choose the range that best suits their Salisbury property, rather than simply opting for the highest specification. In many cases, the right choice depends on the style of the home, its surroundings and the homeowner’s long-term goals.

Conservation Approved Windows
A key strength of the Masterframe Bygone Collection is its suitability for conservation and heritage properties. These windows are designed to faithfully replicate traditional sash styles, so they blend seamlessly with older buildings and conservation areas, preserving the character that makes these homes special. Conservation officers and planning authorities often look for replacements that respect original proportions, sightlines and detailing, and the Bygone range achieves this while delivering modern performance. That means you get the authentic look of historic timber windows with the benefits of contemporary engineering, like excellent thermal efficiency, security and low maintenance.
For Salisbury homeowners in conservation areas or listed buildings, this balance allows sensitive restoration without compromising on comfort or compliance with heritage requirements. Get in touch with the Cara Glass team today to discuss your requirements.

FINEO Glass
One of the most exciting developments in glazing technology is FINEO vacuum glass, which is increasingly specified alongside premium sash windows. FINEO delivers exceptional thermal performance in an ultra-slim unit, offering insulation levels comparable to triple glazing without the thickness that can detract from traditional window design.
For sash windows, particularly in period-style properties, this is a significant advantage. FINEO allows Salisbury homeowners to improve comfort, reduce energy loss and minimise condensation while preserving slim sightlines and authentic proportions. When paired with the Symphony or Melody ranges, it creates a sash window solution that combines traditional aesthetics with cutting-edge performance.
