Sash Windows

Sash windows are a fundamental part of London's architectural heritage. However, they are also susceptible to wear and tear due to the elements and need regular maintenance in order to work properly. The good news is that we provide an entire sash window service, which includes the repair and installation of new parts to ensure your windows will be in good condition for many years to come.

Generally speaking, sash windows comprise of two framed panes which are stacked one on top of the other. They are held together by a frame, referred to as the box. This is fitted into the opening in the building on which the window will be set and the two outer panes are equipped with glazing bars. These are what allows them to slide upwards and downwards - opening and closing the window.

In the beginning, sash windows opened horizontally, but they were later improved to open vertically. The idea behind this is credited to the British philosopher and architect Robert Hooke. He collaborated with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for a number of notable buildings like Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.

There are some things that make sash windows distinct, including the fact that they can be tilted open in a similar manner to windows of standard size. This is because sash windows have separate pulleys as well as weights to balance their weight. They can be easily moved using an internal cord that is hidden within the frame.

Softwood is the most popular material for sash windows although modern versions are made of many different materials. Pine is a durable and sturdy material that is still in use in the present. Installations that are more than 100 years old are not uncommon. We also offer Accoya which is a laboratory-formulated wood that offers an assurance of 50 years. However, it is still far from the high-end English Oak, which has been used for sash windows since centuries.

Entrance Screens

The brand new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screen doors on each sub-surface platform. These screens provide passenger information as well as digital advertising.

The initial entrance screen of the City of London Cemetery consisted of a traditional construction of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings, with decorative carvings. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.

Nanolime was used to slow down the complex combination of decay mechanisms which were eroding the central panel. This has prevented the necessity of costly replacement of stones and also provided a soothing alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
