The good part is that we provide the complete sash window repair service, which includes the repair and replacement of parts to ensure your windows will be in good condition for a long time to come. Generally speaking, sash windows are made up of two framed panes that are placed over the other. The box is used to hold them together. The box is put in the opening of the building, and is where the window will be placed. The two inner panes have glazing bars. They slide upwards and downwards to open and close the windows. At first sash windows were designed to open horizontally, but they were later made to open vertically. Robert Hooke, a British philosopher and architect is the person who was credited with the invention. He worked with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for notable structures like Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall Warwickshire. Sash windows are distinct in that they are able to tilt open as a regular window. This is due to the fact that they have separate pulleys and weights to counterbalance their weight. A cord hidden in the frame allows them to be moved easily. Although modern sash windows can be made of a variety of materials, the classic softwood model is still the most well-known. Pine is a long-lasting and sturdy material that is still being used today. Installations of more than 100 years old are not uncommon. We also offer a laboratory formulated wood, called Accoya, which offers a fifty year guarantee, but is still some far from the high quality of English Oak that has been used in sash windows for a long time.

Entrance Screens The new Elizabeth Line, (formerly the Crossrail Project) has platform screen doors on each of the sixteen sub-surface platforms. These screens display digital advertisements and passenger information. The first entrance screen for the City of London Cemetery consisted of a traditional structure of Kentish Ragstone wall and Caen stone copings that were decorated with elements carved. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen. Nanolime was used to slow down the complicated combination of decay mechanisms that were causing the central panel to deteriorate. This has slowed the need for costly stone replacement and also provided a soothing alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
