A pre-packaged solution designed to restore or upgrade the movable part of a window crafted from timber, this set typically contains the sash itself, along with necessary components like weather stripping, balances or cords, and installation hardware. It offers a convenient method for homeowners or contractors to address issues such as rot, damage, or inefficiency in existing window systems. For example, instead of replacing the entire window unit when the pane is cracked, a replacement component provides a targeted repair.
These solutions are valuable for maintaining the aesthetic integrity of older homes, preserving their historical character while improving energy efficiency and functionality. They offer cost savings compared to full window replacements and allow for the retention of original frames and trim work. Historically, timber window components were crafted on-site, but pre-fabricated sets now offer greater precision and ease of installation, improving both the longevity and energy performance of these windows.
