Sash window renovation can restore your sash windows to their former glory. Sash windows also use a weights system to allow the windows to lift and fall with ease, which is housed inside a small gap between the sash and the frame. This mechanism can often cause draughts, rattles and heat loss. Often people fix or paint their wooden sash windows shut as a solution. However, this goes against the original function of a sash window, which is to maximise the airflow into a property when open using an equal gap at the top and bottom (the cooler incoming air through the lower opening flushes warm air out of the top opening). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/712e6ba8-7da5-498f-b7e9-c308a04106e8/REnovation.jpg Renovation - A basic sash window renovation includes your sash windows being removed from their frame, with any build-up of paint on the sashes and/or frame removed. The sashes are then re-shaped to fit the frame, re-balanced and new sash cord fitted to allow for smooth operation. If extensive rot is found, sections of the sash window’s sill, mullions or mouldings are replaced. We match the historic profile of the existing wood. A comprehensive sash window renovation includes the above, plus the replacement of all sash window furniture in the style and finish chosen by you from our collection. You can choose from a large range of styles including brass or polished/satin chrome. In extreme cases of disrepair a sash window may be beyond renovation and may need to be replaced. We offer a full sash window replacement service, with your windows measured and manufactured to matching profiles and mouldings crafted by our trused and professional joiners. https://www.timeless-sashes.co.uk/draught-proofing daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/ef7418a3-caf0-4449-b7f9-4bd1d113428a/draught.jpg Draught-Proofing - Sash windows use a weights system to allow the windows to lift and fall with ease. To enable this there is a small gap between the sash and the frame which can often cause draughts, rattles and heat loss. Often people fix or paint their windows shut, but sash window draught-proofing is the best solution. In colder or windy weather any draughts created by your existing sash windows can lead to you turning up the heating to compensate. However, research has shown that draught-proofing your sash windows can reduce air leakage by 33-50% significantly reducing the energy required to heat your home. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/52baa476-a484-4588-98bf-d257bd2c6020/draughtproofing.jpg Draught-Proofing - The cost of sash window draught-proofing can be recouped within 5 to 25 years, whereas replacement non-sash plastic doubled glazed windows can take between 60 to 100 years for you to start enjoying any savings. Draught-proofing your sash windows can also greatly reduce unwanted noise levels in your property, eradicate any rattling and ensure your windows operate much more efficiently overall. We will work with you to agree what would work best for your sash windows by considering the size of gap to be sealed and whether any allowances need to be made for seasonal expansion and contraction. Our team will remove your sashes from the frame, replacing them with new draught proof beading, pulleys, ropes or hinges and new furniture if requested. Draught proofing is an approved method for listed buildings and those subject to conservation regulations. If you own a listed building, existing timber windows can normally be draught sealed and overhauled without the need for planning permission https://www.timeless-sashes.co.uk/painting-and-glazing daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/70440102-3bb0-4958-ac1e-89ec83f35e50/painting2.jpg Painting and Glazing - Timber sash windows that have been exposed to the elements without regular maintenance, will deteriorate. Chipped or flaked paintwork and missing putty allows water and damp to seep into the wood, leading to rot and eventually, if left untreated, collapse. The parts of a sash window that are particularly susceptible to this are the sills, bottom rails, lower sections of outer linings and pulley stiles. We offer a full painting service to protect them from damp and warp and to maintain a professional finish. Our painting process involves both sash windows and frames being fully prepped, with any bare wood treated with an oil-based primer before having an undercoat and oil-based top coat applied inside and out. If you need advice on paint colours we offer paint cards to help you decide. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/85f7032c-2b3c-49f0-a551-61954bf10cfc/glazing.jpg Painting and Glazing - You may need to re-glaze your sash windows for a number of reasons. Most commonly if you have a broken pane of glass, or to replace glass that is outdated or does not match the style or period of your property or the purpose of a room i.e. frosted glass in a bathroom for privacy. You may also wish to upgrade your glass for security reasons by switching to toughened glass. Glass can be a fragile and potentially dangerous material, with the possibility of serious damage or injury if broken. Safety film can be applied to any window that is, for example, in a child's room or at street-level to reduce the likelihood of injury. In the event of a broken pane the safety film holds dangerous shards of glass in place to prevent injury. It's practically invisible once applied and will not peel or discolour. https://www.timeless-sashes.co.uk/furniture daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/58549dc1-8a4d-4a7e-b7b1-14126ff72414/furniture+2.jpg Sash Window Furniture - Sash window springs are the modern replacement for sash cord and are usually fitted to modern sash windows that may have single panes or double glazed units. The springs don't require a traditional box frame that normally houses the sash weights, allowing you to have larger sash windows. If sash springs are not maintained they become clogged up with dust and can become stuck or even snap in the carrier. Often sash springs simply need to be cleaned and re-adjusted to restore their function. We offer such a service as well as a replacement option for any broken sash springs to ensure your windows run smoothly. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/623a00d8f801db787176af1b/676eb0c3-e0e3-4dfc-ac84-4f8dc315e715/furniture.jpg Sash Window Furniture - We supply the following sash window furniture available in brass, polished chrome or a satin chrome finish: Lift and pull handles to assist with the function of your sash windows Sash pulleys to assist with the operation of heavy windows Various styles of catches for basic security (see below for security 'stops') Traditional or modern furniture to complement the style of your property Poles and hooks to assist with the operation of larger or hard to reach windows Traditional Cambridge lifting system to assist with the operation of hard to reach windows. We recommend you don’t just rely on catches to secure your sash windows. Security ‘stops’ are strong and convenient to use allowing your window to open partially for ventilation but maintain security. https://www.timeless-sashes.co.uk/contact-us daily 0.75 2022-05-05 https://www.timeless-sashes.co.uk/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2022-03-28
