Wooden box sash windows combine traditional charm with functionality. Crafted from joinery quality timber like oak or pine, they feature durable mortise and tenon joints and grooves for counterweights and cords. Glass panes, often double-glazed, are sealed with putty or adhesives, and the wood is finished with protective paint or varnish.
Repairs address issues like rot, peeling paint, or faulty mechanisms. Damaged timber can be replaced, joints reinforced, and cords or pulleys repaired. Repainting protects and revitalises the wood, ensuring the windows retain their elegance and smooth operation for years.
Sashy & Sashy specialise in the refurbishment and replacement of box sash windows.
