Timber sash windows add a timeless elegance to any home. But over time, these windows can suffer from wear and tear, affecting their functionality and appearance. At ASQB, we specialise in timber window sash replacement, breathing new life into your windows and restoring their original charm.
We serve both residential and commercial properties across Greater Sydney and the Inner West.
What are Timber Window Sashes?
Timber window sashes are the movable parts of a window that hold the glass panes. They are typically found in older or heritage properties and are known for their classic aesthetic appeal.
Common types include single-hung and double-hung sashes, where one or both sashes slide vertically within the window frame.
Common Issues with Old Window Sashes
Ageing timber sashes can experience a range of problems:
- Rot and decay: Exposure to moisture can cause the timber to rot, weakening the structure and compromising the window’s integrity.
- Sticking and jamming: Paint build-up, warping, or swollen timber can make the sashes difficult to open and close.
- Draughts and rattles: Gaps and cracks around the sash can lead to draughts, reducing energy efficiency and increasing heating costs.
- Broken cords or balances: In double-hung windows, broken sash cords or faulty balance mechanisms can prevent the sashes from staying open.
These issues not only affect the functionality of your windows but can also compromise your home’s security and energy efficiency. Replacing your timber sashes can address these problems and restore your windows to their optimal condition.
