Sliding Sash Windows
The 'Herald' Sash Window
Traditional sliding sash window with elegant slim glazing bars.
We have developed a high performance sliding sash window that complies with all new thermal regulations whilst maintaining a totally traditional appearance, satisfying conservation and aesthetic requirements. We can supply just the joinery or a fully fitted out window including glazing, lead weights and ironmongery.
Window features include:
Materials - The windows are constructed using traditional methods from European Redwood with hardwood sills as standard. Hardwood and engineered timber are available as options.
Mouldings -
- Single glazed: These are generally ovolo with 7/8" glazing bars.
- Double glazed: We offer a choice of either a slim, elegant applied glazing bar or a 1 1/2" traditional bar. We also offer an entirely bespoke service providing mouldings and horn details to match existing.
Pulleys & Weights -
We always fit top quality pulleys that can be free running nylon, chrome or brass as
selected. Windows can be made using traditional lead weights or spring balances.
Thermal and operational qualities -
Glazing - 20mm or 24mm double glazed units using low energy glass and
a cavity filled with argon gas for added insulation meeting current regulations.
Draft stripping - Our windows are fully draft-proofed with draft strip
seals on the parting beads, staff beads and meeting rails.
Easy slide seal - This facilitates a smooth operation and prevents any sticking
or rattling whilst simultaneously providing additional weather sealed protection.
Security - The windows are internally beaded to ensure that glazing units cannot be removed from the outside. We fit a good quality locking sash fastener in either brass or chrome according to preference. Optional restrictors can be fitted that restrict the window being opened more than a few inches to prevent entry and which also act as a safeguard for young children.
Other optional features include:
- Trickle vents
- Sash locks
- Choice of superior quality ironmongery
