The
Inherent Problem
The
traditional sash window and the Yorkshire window, form an
important part of period building architecture, and of our
heritage. It is vital that they are preserved. Well-seasoned
timbers were used in the manufacture of the windows, and if
properly maintained, and skillfully refurbished the sash window
will outlast any modern window.
The sash window is a very efficient window for air distribution,
while keeping out the elements. The design, with its gaps
between the moving sashes, did not consider the modern need
for energy conservation.
 |
The
gaps give problems by allowing draught, noise and dust
to penetrate. Sashes rattling in the wind, generally result
in inappropriately sealed and painted up windows. Replacement
of old glass with modern glass affects both the balance
and aesthetics of the sashes. Poor painting maintenance,
allows the sills and sash timbers to be affected by the
elements, and the resulting rot leads to unsuitable replacements. |
Distinctive
period buildings and Victorian terraces are spoiled by the
installation of expensive period replications, or modern upvc
windows.
The
Modern Cure
MH
Joinery Services offer an alternative approach in the form
of a complete restoration package. From the complete servicing
of a window, to restore it to its original working condition.
To the installation of a proprietary weather proofing system,
fitted into the rebates of the window, making it unobtrusive
and not detracting from the original appearance of the window.
The
MH Joinery service starts with a site survey of each window
in order for us to establish its state of repair. This is
followed by a detailed quotation including a report and schedule
of work. Upon receipt of an order, MH Joinery Services will
liaise with the occupier and agree a sequence of working to
minimise disruption during the installation process. Wherever
possible all work is carried out at the property and from
within the building, this minimises the need for external
access. All windows are left secure on completion of each
days' work.
