Sash window restoration for the competent wood worker or diy enthusiast.
Since the launch of Sash Window Specialist first
web site in 1995 we have been keen to encourage D.I.Y. enthusiasts in saving
their own sash windows. Our online D.I.Y. guide has received many
thankful e-mail's from people across the world, who have successfully restored
their own sash windows to good working order. They not only saved
money but gained the satisfaction of 'a job well done'.
In response to your frequent requests for us to
supply the specialist materials that we use in our own professional recondition
systems we have created a kit for the competent D.I.Y. enthusiast. It contains
all of the necessary components required to draught seal a wide variety
of sash window sizes. These kits are only suitable for people with a good
knowledge of woodworking skills and a full understanding of safe working
practices.
Kits are available from all of our regional offices,
callers are strictly by appointment only. Should you need some friendly
advise during the installation of our kits then your regional Sash Window
Specialist is only a phone call away.

With this kit sash windows up to 2.1m high
* 2.1m wide can be draught sealed.
NOTES:
Sash windows under 1m wide - the top and
bottom staff beads can be replaced with this kit.
Sash windows over 1 m wide - The existing
top staff bead is retained as this bead plays no part in the draught seal
procedure. If the top bead needs to be replaced then matching staff
bead without the carrier is also available from most timber yards.
Sash windows over 2.1 m high - Off cuts
from the bottom bead can be joined 'on the mitre' and the pile continued
through to the top of the frame. Joints made high on the window should
not be noticeable.
We can supply other sized beads on request
We can supply unprimed beads with brown or white
pile on request
