The sliding
sash window, often referred to as a 'Georgian
window', reflecting the period when this
style reached the peak of popularity,
is a classic window design.
|
|
|
It has a timeless
elegance and beautiful proportions
which enhance the appearance
of almost any home - period
or modern, town or country.
It is one of the few windows
that can be opened, for ventiliation
or easy cleaning, without obstructing
the exterior, for example a
pavement or walkway.
It is no wonder that the vertical
sliding sash window has remained
a favourite design with builders
and homeowners for centuries. |

|
| A
Distinctive Choice
The traditional
timber sliding sash window
brings a number of problems.
So it was no surprise that
many saw the replacement of
timber sliding sash windows
with new PVC-u versions as
an easy choice.
It took the
latest computer aided 3D design
systems, plus considerable
investment to achieve the
necessary combination of a
slim, but strong and durable,
frame. |

Of
course the classic New Era window
is not the least expensive window
you can find. If price is the
sole criteria then, to be honest,
this is not the window for you.
Yet if you are
a discerning householder,
determined to reflect your
standards, isn't your home
worth it?
If your home has listed building
status, is in a conservation
area, or covered by any other
planning regulation or legal
convenant, you should consult
the appropriate authority
to clarify the position before
replacing your windows. |

•
The sliding sash window profile
has a 'multi chamber' design,
for extra strength and thermal
efficiency.
•
The profiles are fabricated
into windows either by mechanical
fixing or by a specialist
welding process. Both methods
are equally secure and effective.
•
The window also has a choice
of depths of 133mm and 147mm
to suit the 'reveal' of
the window aperture. These
depths were chosen to match
traditional building methods,
making replacement easier,
with less 'making good'.
•
It is extensively tested
for air and water permeability
to ensure it withstands
the demands of the British
climate. The careful use
of seals, draughtproofing
strips and drainage slots
ensure this is a high performance
window.

Beneath the surface
'good looks' of the vertical
sliding sash window there are
a host of design features to
improve your windows performance
and appeal.
STYLES
All window styles can be produced
including features such as arched
head top sashes and bay windows.
TILT OPTION
By making the most of modern
designs and materials, the sliding
sash window can be made so that
either or both sides have an
optional 'tilt inwards' facility
incorporating stay arms for
safe use. This can help with
ventilation and making cleaning
much easier.
GLAZING
All windows are designed with
24mm double glazed sealed units.
BALANCES
All windows are supplied with
the appropriate spring balance
fully installed to match the
weight and size of the sashes.
SAFETY
An optional sash travel restrictor
is available which limits the
distance the sash will open.
PERIOD DETAIL
Period details available include
the decorative 'horns' featured
on the top sliding sash; the
availability of brass effect
sash lifts; locking cam catches
and sash restrictors.
GLAZING BARS
To produce that aesthetic Georgian
appearance, glazing bars can
be applied to the outside of
the window or, for the most
authentic appearance, glazing
bars can be added to both the
inside and outside of the window
and fitted in between the two
panes of glass, inside the double
glazed sealed unit.
