Comparing The Latest Sash Windows With Their Counterparts From A Romantic Era
Conceived and first designed in the sixteen sixties sash windows have been extensively used in constructing many famous and beautiful buildings. With a concept and working mechanism that was so unique in its time that it is still used today and applied to new windows being built with only newer materials incorporated is a great tribute to the original designer.
One can only speculate as to what the original carpenters would have had to say if they were told that hundreds of years later their windows would still be working. Frames from that time that have been looked after work as well today as they did then.
Allowing sashes to move freely along wooden gliders one is able to leave openings at the bottom and top to permit free flowing air through the apertures to cool down the room. When one remembers that this idea is from an era long before electricity and air coolers it was a truly remarkable concept.
The originality of heritage sites and historical private homes is jealously guarded and any restoring is only allowed after approval from committees that look after them. Any work done has to guarantee that it will stay within parameters of the original designs. Unfortunately any wood used in the framing would eventually exhibit serious climatic damaged from being open to the elements extended periods.
The many years of being battered by rain, poorly maintained, irregular restoring and painting has caused some of these frames to deteriorate to a point where they are beyond saving. There are however numerous competent and well known firms who specialize in draught proofing and rehabilitating and are able to restore them to their former glory.
Work is done one site except where frames are badly damaged they are then taken to the factory for full refurbishment. Windows that resemble the originals are being manufactured and many heritage councils are giving the go ahead for these to be used in listed buildings where the frames are damaged beyond repair.
Classical looking new products are also being used to fashion sash windows that have the style to improve the exterior of any building. This new product has many improved features such as being able to shut securely and tightly and tend to be easy to maintain.
If one is aiming to create a haven of gracious living from a bygone era then these fixtures may be the ones to choose. Installing sash windows made from new timber frames will add a touch of timeless elegance to one’s home.
