Structure of a Sash Window

1. Cord Pulley and Weights We use nylon cord pulleys for their longevity, plastic covered lead weights are used to counterbalance the weight of the sash ensuring easier use and comply with Health and Safety requirements. 2. Draught Exclusion Brush pile draught excluders are incorporated reducing the risk of draughts entering your household by a minimum of 90-95%. 3. New Sash and Windows We use quality softwood timber to construct our new sashes. We apply micro-porous paint ensuring the durability of the timber. 4. Glazing Bar We individually glaze each pane of glass separating them with glazing bars. We do not stick glazing bars onto the glass as a general rule unless required. 5. Double Glaze Options  All our double glazing is fitted with low-e energy glass which reflects heat back into the room, keeping it warm and reducing your energy costs. 6. Low E Energy Glass This prevents internal heat from escaping, reducing your heating bills. 7. Acoustic Glass   This special acoustic laminated safety glass is decibel rated and more effective than a double glazed unit, reflecting noise and making your home quieter. 8. 'D' Handle & Sash Lifts Placed in the centre they enable you to easily open and close the sash windows and are an attractive feature. 9. Centre Catch The centre catch enables you to lock the window. 10. Security Lock We fit security locks to the right and left of our windows improving security and complying with insurance regulations. You can also lock the window in a position that allows air to flow in and out of the room creating a fresh environment whilst keeping security for peace of mind.
