Sash Window Restoration
Before we start our work…
Repairing Box Sash Window Frames
Several window sills were replaced but most were repaired using advanced epoxy resins carefully carved to shape.
Sliding Sash Frames Either Repaired or Replaced
All of the sliding sashes on the top floor were replaced with hand-made replica colonial sash frames. Even in exposed locations like this, Accoya wooden sash windows will last for generations to come.
By salvaging the best of the old sashes from the top and middle floors we managed to restore the whole of the middle floor windows with original window parts.
Replacement Sash Windows
We understand the charm of traditional wooden windows. All of our work is designed to be as authentic as possible.
Our draught seals are machined into the timber components to become an integral, practically invisible part of the window. Draught Seal & Restore Service is ideal for conservation areas and listed buildings.
Completed Restoration Project.
This award-winning commercial restoration project was undertaken by Perth Sash Window Specialist, heritage window sub-contractor working with Masterbuilt Constructions Pty Ltd.
What Is Accoya® Wood
- Extreme durability
- Lightweight
- Non-toxic, enviromentally friendly
- Sustainable forestry
Light weight and durable; Accoya is the perfect choice for double hung sash windows.
80 years of research resulted in Accoya, a high performance wood that exceed those of the best tropical hardwoods. Using nontoxic processes fast growing pine is structurally altered to produce a stable, very durable light weight timber. The manufactures guarantee painted windows for 50 years against wood rot and even in its natural unpainted state for 30 years. If paintwork is maintained in good order Accoya windows will theoretically last ‘forever’.
Whilst Accoya is an expensive wood, we do not mark up our prices on this product like some sash window companies. We charge you only the difference that it costs us to buy each plank of wood. That way we can ensure that this excellent product remains an affordable option for every customer.
