Common problems with sash windows in Kilburn

Sash windows are incredibly long-lasting when you think about it, but they still have their limits. As time goes on, a number of problems can emerge. Wooden frames can become warped, spoiling the alignment of the windows. This is often exacerbated by repainting, causing sash windows to stiffen or jam.

Other common issues include the weighting system becoming unbalanced and the glass developing a foggy look. Wooden frames can also become rotten, causing structural weaknesses in the window. Even if you are lucky enough to avoid these problems, there are always draughts to contend with. Have no fear, though. We have the skills to meet any challenge.

Sash window repairs in Kilburn

When it comes to historic sash windows in Kilburn, it’s always better to mend than it is to replace. We use quality materials and expert techniques to preserve the authentic look of your windows while ensuring that they will last for decades to come.

The first step is to assess the problem so that we can decide on the best course of action for fixing your sash window. If cracks have appeared, we will fill them in using our highly effective Epoxy Repair Compound. If the wood is rotten or damaged, we can replace it with our unbeatably strong Accoya timber.

There are also cases where a sash window isn’t broken but still needs some work to improve its performance. Examples include windows that are letting in draughts and windows that aren’t closing as easily as they used to.

The best way to assess the problem is to see it first-hand. By paying a visit to your home in Kilburn, we can be sure that our proposed solution is the right one. We are the only company that offers the Solutions Brush Pile System. This is a superior alternative to traditional double-sided tape solutions or plastic parting beads. While these tend to be flimsy or unattractive, the Solutions Brush Pile System is easy on the eye and will last for years.

Not only that – but it also reduces outside noise by up to 50%, eliminates rattles, and saves you energy by blocking out draughts.

Kilburn sash window replacement

As we said before, we would rather mend the original timber framed sash windows than replace them. However, there are times when this isn’t possible. Building regulations in Kilburn might force you to get a new sash window, or you may just prefer this option. In cases such as these, we would recommend replica sash windows.

We are fully qualified to make and fit replica sash windows to the highest possible standard. We use three key elements to guarantee quality – the finest Accoya timber, our specially designed Solutions Brush Pile System and top-of-the-line gas-filled double glazing. Better yet, we can produce bespoke windows to match an existing arrangement, or to replicate a style of your choice. For real authenticity, we can include the box frames, pulleys, cords, and weights that are a hallmark of traditional sash windows. Every detail matters, right down to the frames which we fully decorate.

Part of what makes sash windows so fascinating is their variety. They can last for centuries, and this allows us to see designs evolving before our eyes. Fashions often changed with the crowning of a new monarch, and understanding these variations is the key to finding an authentic solution for your Kilburn home.

This is where we come into our own. We have an encyclopedic knowledge of sash windows, allowing us to make the right choice every time.

Georgian sash windows, Kilburn

Sash windows in Kilburn from the Georgian period (1714 to 1837) are notable for their six over six or eight over eight pane configurations. These are panes separated by astragal bars.

Victorian sash windows, Kilburn

Victorian tastes were somewhat different. If your Kilburn property dates from 1837 to 1901, your sash windows are most likely to be arranged in a two over-two pane formation. However, there are some exceptions to this rule.

Edwardian sash windows, Kilburn

Despite only lasting a decade, the Edwardian period of 1901 to 1910 gave rise to a wealth of sash window styles. The most popular of these is based on a six-over-two-pane configuration.

As you would expect, Kilburn’s sash windows are not limited to these styles. When walking around the area, keep your eyes peeled for arched sash windows and sash windows that open horizontally.
