Edwardian sash windows restoration
Photos from one of our Edwardian sash window restoration projects. Hundreds of other photos of damaged windows have been sitting on our hard drive, waiting for someone from admin to find the time to show them to the world.
The glazing configuration of Edwardian sash windows (1901-1910) is unique and easily recognizable.
Their aesthetic appeal comes from intricate details such as decorative horns, curved heads, and ornate mouldings.
It sucks to be a bottom sash
The sashes and window frames were in a terrible state, with lots of rot and falling apart parts.
Furthermore, if you read some other case studies, you will notice the recurring pattern that the lower sash is typically worth.
The bottom rail is the most vulnerable and damaged part of the windows we come across in all our sash window repair projects in Surrey and London.
The weather affects the lower sections of windows, including casement, sash, and wooden front doors, the most. This is the reason behind all the issues.
The photo shows how badly affected the bottom rail of the sash is.
The putty is gone, and the timber is severely penetrated and rotting.
This is also a good illustration that loose putty issues must be addressed promptly.
