Slim Double Glazed Sashes
We fit identical, slim double-glazed sashes into your existing box frames, we exclusively replace the sliding sash itself. The original boxes are then overhauled and draught-proofed avoiding the need for scaffolding or re-plastering.
In instances where windows are beyond repair or necessitate complete replacement, we can expertly install a complete new box sash window and manage all internal and external rendering.
Our timber sash windows are meticulously crafted to safeguard the architectural heritage of British Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian eras. The synergy of traditional joinery skills and modern technology distinguishes our timber double glazing sash windows. With efficient slimline double glazing, conservation-friendly features, and a commitment to matching styles, our skilled joinery team recreates fully-decorated sashes with meticulous attention to color matching for nearly imperceptible differences.
Glazing
To glaze our sashes, we utilize a polymer putty system that mimics traditional putty, ensuring an authentic appearance. This putty is both permanently elastic and paintable. Unlike the traditional wooden beaded system prone to breakdown after 5 years, our polymer system proves far superior.
Our sashes are made from ultra-durable Accoya wood. This timber has had its vulnerable aspects removed using a completely non-toxic process called Acetylation.
This makes the timber highly resistant to rotting or warping, ensuring your windows remain free from degradation or swelling during colder months. Accoya provides an impressive 50-year guarantee on its unpainted timber above ground + 25 year warranty in ground or freshwater!!!! Hard to believe but its true, enough to survive any harsh British Winter .Click to see
Highly Durable Paint Finish
Each of our sash windows are pre-decorated with durable Sikkens Rubbol paint, applied using a precise spray technique for a flawlessly uniform finish that endures over time. As Accoya has zero moisture due to the Acetylation treatment.The paint maintains permanent flexibility, preventing cracking or peeling, and exhibits exceptional resistance to rainy weather and intense UV rays. Customers can expect a maintenance-free period of up to 25+ years with the combination of Accoya and Sikkens wood coating systems.
We also can match any colours from Farrow&Ball and Dulux range.
