If your home is in need of modern replacement windows, it might be beneficial to think about uPVC. UPVC is a form of plastic that is extremely durable, which makes it a great choice for windows. In contrast to wood, it is not prone to get rotten and is resistant to water and chemicals. It also offers better insulation than metal or wooden frames. It is a preferred choice for window frames and is able to be used in various styles.
uPVC comes in a variety of colors. Some are made of textured material to give them a more natural look, while others are available in a range of woodgrain finishes that complement various interior designs. These windows are able to achieve high energy efficiency ratings and can be fitted with triple or double glazing. They are a fantastic choice for homes with modern designs and can enhance the value of any home.
Sliding uPVC windows are popular with homeowners due to the fact that they can be opened from the top or the bottom and don't need much space to open. They are easy to clean and can be customized to include options like Georgian bar designs or astragal bars. These windows are also great for older cottage-style homes and can in making them more energy efficient.
Another style of uPVC window is the bay window which protrudes outward from the home and usually includes a decorative bay sill.

Sash Windows
Sash windows are part of London's architectural history. They are susceptible to wear from the elements and require regular maintenance in order to function properly. The good news is that we provide a complete sash window service, which includes the repair and replacement of parts to ensure that your windows are functioning well for years to come.
Generally speaking, sash windows comprise of two framed panes which are stacked one on top of the other. The box is used to hold them together. This is placed in the aperture of the building where the window will sit, and the two inner panes are fitted with glass bars. They move up and down opening and closing the windows.
Sash windows originally had horizontal opening, but later they were made to open vertically. The idea behind this is believed to be the British architect and philosopher Robert Hooke. He collaborated with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for notable buildings like Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.
There are a few things that make sash windows distinctive, including the fact that they can be tilted open in a similar way to a standard window. This feature is the result of the fact that sash windows are counterbalanced with pulleys and weights separately. A cord concealed within the frame allows them to be moved easily.
Softwood is the most sought-after material for sash windows although modern versions can be made of many different materials. Pine is a durable and sturdy material that is still in use today. Installations over 100 years old are common. We also offer a laboratory developed wood, called Accoya that comes with an assurance of fifty years however it is a long far from the quality of English Oak that has been used in sash windows for a long time.
We provide a range of options to install triple or double glazing on your window sash. You can also select from different types of opaque glass. We are FENSA registered, so all our installations meet the industry standard and are protected by a 10-year insurance-backed guarantee.
French Doors
A French Door, or set of French windows, are the perfect way to let light flood into your home. They can be used to divide outdoor spaces such as a garden or patio from the rest of your property. However they can also be used in interior spaces to connect adjoining rooms and let your living space open to your garden.
French doors are usually two hinged doors that feature glass panels running across the entire length of the frame. They can be opened both at once or one can be closed while the other is open. They are typically glazed with clear glass, however they can be adorned with frosted or opaque glass to create a unique style and to protect your privacy.
Whether you choose to install French doors inside or outside, they are a great addition to any London home that lets natural light flood in. They can help open up your home by creating an aesthetic connection between the indoors and the outside.

Entrance Screens
The brand new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens provide passenger information as well as digital advertising.
The original entrance screen to the City of London Cemetery was an old-fashioned construction consisting of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings as well as decorative carved elements. 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 applied to slow the complex combination of decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This has slowed the need for costly stone replacement and offered a more tolerant alternative to more aggressive chemical consolidants.
