Our sash windows are all draught sealed as standard. We use a sealing method unique to us that has a dual purpose. Firstly it does what it says, and keeps out draughts with a combination of vertical brush pile seals and compression seals on the horizontal rails. Secondly, by positioning the vertical brush piles to run between the sash and the pulley stile, this makes the sliding action smooth, by eliminating the all too common side to side judder . And thirdly, our brush piles are not visible in either the open or closed position. Subtle but noticeable differences.

Factory finishing uses specially formulated coatings which are spray applied, prior to glazing.

Among the most susceptible areas in timber windows and doors, are the undersides of bottom rails, where the endgrain of the stiles is exposed.  Water often remains held here long after it has stopped raining. Unfortunately, these areas are difficult to reach by brush, and easily overlooked during in-situ painting. To make matters worse, the porous nature of timber endgrain, requires more paint coverage here, than any other area.

Benefits of factory finishing:

• Latest generation Sikkens microporous finishes means no further painting for up to 8 years.
• Highly flexible coatings allow for the inherent slight movements, that crack poor quality finishes.
• Bottom rails receive more paint than all other surfaces and are completely sealed.               
• Applied in a controlled environment, it prevents the windows getting wet prior to decoration.
• Eliminates the disruption caused by having to leave windows open while each brush coat dries.
• Not dependant on weather for decorating.
• Achieves a neatness of finish that cannot be matched by brush painting.
• Reaches areas that become inaccessible after installation. ( glazing rebates etc. )

 The surface tension in most liquids, including wet paint, causes them to physically pull away from sharp edges. This results in a thin paint coverage on the edge. This same surface tension is enough to keep rain water pooled along any sharp horizontal edges such as sloping sills, even against the pull of gravity. Right at the place where the paint is thinnest and most vulnerable. The result is a shortened lifespan of both the paint coating and the window.

We machine a radius on all the exposed edges of our windows. No surface tension. No thin paint edges. No pooling water. Years added the life of the window.
