Replacement windows, single or double glazed, can be manufactured to match the existing within a range of designs including casements, stormproof and traditional sash windows with weights or spiral balances, Yorkshire lights, bay windows and shaped windows. Wooden windows can be fitted with double glazed units to minimise exterior sound and heat loss.

Windows can be supplied factory finished with preservative and primer ready for installation or we can offer the complete service including installation and finish. We can offer assistance with design or, alternatively, supply according to your architect’s specification.

Understanding the location of the property and the environmental conditions that may affect the joinery can determine the choice of timber and use of protective finishes and preservatives. Good design is the key to the durability of a timber window. Our designs endeavour to minimise water retention and damp penetration. Drained and vented rebates prevent deterioration of the timber and premature failure of the glazing unit seals from trapped water.

WINDOW DESIGNS

There are three broad categories of window design:

• Casement windows
• Stormproof window
• Sliding windows – including traditional box sash windows

Casement windows can have top or side hung sashes which are hung on butt or friction hinges. They can incorporate fanlights, opening or fixed sashes in a variety of combinations to suit the application. The most popular designs are the single opening casement, double opening casement or the triple casement with the two outside sashes opening and the centre fixed. The sashes in a casement window can either be rebated together or can have a centre mullion as shown in our drawings. The sashes in a casement window may have glazing bars as shown in the sliding box sash window drawing.

Stormproof windows are similar to casement windows but the sashes are rebated over the window frame for additional weather protection.

Sliding box sash windows have vertical sliding sashes hung on traditional cords with lead weights or on spiral balances. Alternatively the sashes can be fixed. Sashes can have glazing bars (such as in Georgian style properties) as shown in our drawing. Alternatively, windows can be horizontally sliding and this style is commonly called a Yorkshire sliding window.
