TRADITIONAL RESTORATIONS CUMBRIA

To renovate and repair existing sliding sash windows, all staff beads and parting beads are removed and replaced with new timber beads, sashes are removed and re-corded and balanced with lead add-on weights to existing cast weights. Boxes and sashes are scraped of excess paint, any broken glass can be replaced. If safety glass is required to meet British Standard this also can be supplied and fitted. Rotten cills and repairs to bottom section of boxes are carried out using Sapele hardwood (a very durable and long-lasting hardwood). If required, new window hardware including locking handles and security lock/restrictors can be fitted - various finishes available. (House insurance may require this)... To draughtseal windows and doors a plastic channel is routered into the staff beads and parting beads, which surround the window, creating the channels that the windows slide up and down in, and also the meeting rail (by the handle) and a synthetic brush draughtstrip with a nylon flipper..
