sash windows

We are looking to replace old aluminium windows with either PVC or Timber sash windows. But the brickwork and timber around existing windows is eroding and there are large to fine gaps in brickwork. The paint on concrete windows sills is chipping away. I urgently filled large gaps last year...

Hi, A supplier fitted UPVC sash windows with the intention to come back and add architraves around them. however we have run out of money, and I would like to fit the architraves myself (ive done skirting boards and door architraves). I don't understand how I would approach architrave on...

Hi could anyone help me in identifying the type of this sash window mechanism?

I have some wooden sash windows at the front of my property, single pane of glass, no double glazing. You can see an example of one here: They used to have separate secondary glazing (fitted in the 90s) but it looked awful and made cleaning the windows very difficult. Its a listed building so...

Hi there I'm looking into getting some uPVC sashes to replace old timber ones. Because I'm in a conversation zone - these will be Roseview at the front, and then Ecoslide at the rear. I'd like to have the anthracite painted versions - my current sashes are dark and I prefer this to white. But...

I want to install double glazing to my single glazed timber sash and case windows. I realize that is possible to do this by simply adding a new sash with a double glazed unit, however my question is: Is it possible to install double glazed units of glass in between the existing muntins? My...

Hi, I have recently moved to a house that has 24 large timber sash windows (example being biggest window 2.8m x 2.6m in three sash’s) that are in various states of repair. Many painted shut, some frames cut to include vents, the odd half replacement, cracked glass etc etc. One option is totally...

Morning all, I removed the architrave around a ~100yr old sash window and a load of plaster came off, which wasn't a surprise. I've removed the lose plaster which has left a gap all around the window between the brick and wood liners / frame. The attached photos show the area above the...

We are getting some replacement sash windows made in wood with double-glazing. Due to space limitation within the sash, the gap between the panes will be much less than most double glazing - something like 6-8mm. This made me think warm-edge spacers might be worth using. The only place we get...
