We are always pleased to put you in touch with "local-to-you" customers, so that you can take up references and see the quality of our work.

Timber Sash Windows
All of our timber sash windows are manufactured from either durable high quality Hardwood or Softwood.

The Standard
As standard they are made to traditional designs with authentic detailing such as decorative upper sash horns, ovolo moulding details to the glazing rebate, radiused staff beads and bull-nosed inner cill.

We provide a fully finished service - the standard finish is white and includes reinstatement of sympathetically designed moulded architraves to the original paint or wallpaper decorating line - there is generally no need for you to redecorate.

The one departure from tradition is that our Timber Sash Windows are all draft proofed and are normally* double-glazed to meet modern insulation standards.

*Some Conservation Areas and Listed Buildings do not allow double glazed sealed units, however please refer to us with any questions as we will be able to advise you.

Bespoke Service
We also offer a bespoke service, manufacturing and installing exact copies of period designs, subject to Planning and Building Regulations.

Product Range

• Hardwood or Softwood Sash Windows with Traditional weight and pulley systems
• Hardwood or Softwood Sash Windows with a Modern spiral balance system
• Curved, Radius & Semi-Circular Heads
• Sash Window Bays
• Garden Door & Sash Windows Bay Combinations

The Spiral Balance System
The spiral balance system allows the normal up & down movements of a traditional sash window including leaving it in the open position for ventilation.

Additionally (and this is something that cannot be achieved with a weight and pulley system) both the top and bottom sashes can be fitted with our Easy-Clean ® Mechanism so that you can safely release the sashes and tilt them into the room for cleaning the outside of the glass.

This can be particularly useful for windows above the first floor, above conservatories and above single story extensions and any other areas where external access is difficult.

Timbers & Timber Finishes

Timbers
We only use good quality Softwood or Hardwood Timber from sustainable, verifiable sources, for Sashes & Box Frames.

The timber that we most commonly use is West African Sapele Hardwood or Northern European Redwood which is eminently suitable for traditional White Paint Finished, other Coloured Paint Finishes and for Natural and Stained finishes.

Timber Finishes
All finishes are Water Based, Breathable & Micro-porous.

Whilst the vast majority of our work is white paint finished, we are also able to offer the following finishes:

• Natural, untreated finish
• Primed only finish

• Stained finish
• Dual Colour finish - Painted Or Stained Finish Outside & A Different Painted Or Stained Finish Inside
