One of the most commonly applied windows include the Rectangle-shaped, Triangular, Hanning, Hamming, and Blackman types. Double-hung windows offer a classic look. They have operable upper and more affordable sashes. Lowering the very best sash and raising the lower sash can allow warmer air near the ceiling to move out through the top while cooler atmosphere can flow in through the bottom. Many double-hung windows have sashes that tilt inward, allowing you to clean your exterior surfaces from inside your home. This kind of feature is particularly important if the windows will be on a second story.

At Mumford & Wood we use Engineered Siberian Larch (an European softwood) in our standard specification for all those our timberwindows and doors. Because of the very slow growth it produces timber that has tight growth rings. The closeness of the gross annual growth rings means this is a very dense material which is obviously durable and able to meet the extremely screening UK climatic conditions. The Siberian Larch, has a density of more than 600 kg/m³ and needs no more treatment to resist fungal or insect decay.

We have been making uPVC home windows for over 30 years but even we acknowledge sometimes only wood will certainly do. Whether it's the wonderful character, its unique finish or conservation and listed building friendly designs, we still love the character and quality that comes from a wood made window. Our timber selection marries our know-how of window technology in a traditional pattern.

Thanks to the innate structure of the softwood used in its construction, Accoya wood provides superb levels of thermal insulation. Acacia products help to slow the escape of heat from your own home, keeping it warmer for longer, but using less strength in the process. This can help you to potentially save a whole lot of money on the cost of your heating bills.

Doorways are best taken off their very own hinges for painting to enable all edges to become properly primed and done, including the bottom and the letter plate beginning. This helps to reduce moisture penetration and puffiness. Replace missing or faulty putty in windows with traditional linseed oil putty, again taking care certainly not to damage the a glass. Where glass has to be replaced in sash windows, it needs to be of the same thickness and weight as the original, otherwise the sash must be rebalanced. First panes with just a small crack throughout the part are unlikely to trigger problems.
