Traditional Problems With Wooden Sash Windows

October 14, 2014

 

Traditional problems with wooden sash windows -
include rot, swelling or distortion of the wood throughout the seasons,
rattling in the wind due to shrinkage and careless painting. 

General maintenance- is a very simple 3 step process once your sash windows
have been overhauled and draught proofed.
1)check timber regularly for signs of rot
2)Occasionally oil the pulley wheels for smooth operation
3)keep decoration in good order 

Rewards- in return you will benefit from a warmer home, style, aesthetics,
keep within conservation and listed building guidelines and help save the
planet by using natural resources.

well-maintained sash windows should last generations without needing parts
replaced. It is also possible to clean  the glass from within the building
by sliding the two panes to different positions when both sashes are
properly working.

If you have just read this and can relate then why not give us a call and
have it dealt with once and for all. It's about time the rewards outweighed
the problems!
