The specification / What matters

Balanced lines. Considered proportions.

01Sash & meeting rails

Compare the relationship between upper and lower sash, meeting-rail height and visible frame widths. These details shape the façade’s horizontal lines.

02Divided-light rhythm

Record pane counts and proportions by elevation. Authentic divided lights and simulated systems have different depths and reflections.

03Trim & installation

Agree exterior casing, sill profiles and interior trim treatment. Full-frame and insert approaches have different effects on visible glass area and junction details.

The fit / A project-led selection

Your architecture.

We select the most appropriate windows for each individual project, considering architectural character, measured openings, sightlines, glazing, performance requirements and budget.

Questions / Before you decide

A clearer choice.

Should every elevation use the same pane pattern?

Not necessarily. Record the existing house and any historical evidence. Some elevations or additions may have different arrangements.

Can replacement sash preserve the existing trim?

That depends on the opening condition and replacement approach. The survey should define what remains, what changes and how the new frame meets the trim.

Historic-property review requirements depend on the property and proposed scope. Confirm them with the relevant local authority.
