Sash Windows for old properties
Sash Windows are a niche in their own right and very exclusive as a service offering. Double glazing swamps the UK windows market, high and low, whereas this is an industry both bespoke and unique in its own right. It must be remembered after all that Sash Windows are a well known fixture in Georgian Properties.
Sash Windows are made from movable panels, each all moving movable panes of glass. These are all usually seperated by narrow muntins. As a term "sash windows" refers to windows in which the glazed panels are opened in a vertical or horizontal mechanism. The very oldest examples of these do trace right back to the 1670's.
Sash Window Repairs work in a complex and a very technical way in their own right. Typical repairs do often require and evolve around rotted / rotten wood and the replacement of fixings. Other issues can include swelling and / or distortion of the woodwork and other problems such as rattling in the wind. This can be an issue given the issues such as the amount of noise this can make. Other issues often seen include poor use and decoration of paint. This can cause issues with opening and closing and the ease at which this can be done.
Sash Window Maintenance is a business which has evolved in its own right. After all, sash windows are well known for being high maintenance. This is required ever so often, especially the decorating aspect and general carpentry works required from time to time. The whole advantage of sash windows are not just in the look and the aesthetics. They can be easy to clean as you can do this by sliding two different panes to different positions.
In the more recent times, to move with the times, UPVC Sash Windows have become available. This has enabled home owners to have windows which have and replicate the aesthetic qualities of traditional sash windows. They do also manage to overcome many of the disadvantages of the more traditional sash windows. Such disadvantages include the maintenace, painting and lack of energy efficiency. Like the traditional variety, they do still manage to allow interiors to keep chilled from the way they can provide efficient cooling during warm weather.
If you own an old property and have sash windows, do keep them well maintained. Invest in Sash Window Maintenance as and when required. This can prolong the life of the windows and enhance the visual look of the property in the short, medium and long term.
