New Hidden Spring™ sash window from Timber Windows

Timber Windows, creators of the country’s finest network of specialist timber showrooms dedicated to the supply and installation of hand-made windows, doors and garden rooms, have introduced the Hidden Spring™ sash window to their comprehensive collection.

This innovative design, manufactured from twist and warp resistant engineered timber, faithfully reproduces the much-loved traditional sash window but utilises modern spring balances rather than the original counterbalance weight and pulley system. To avoid detracting from the window’s elegant and authentic style, Timber Windows has concealed these springs within the box frame without compromising its smooth operation.

 

The new Hidden Spring™ sash window is ideal for more modern buildings that do not have sufficient rebate to accommodate a full box sash. “We think ‘slim’ at Timber Windows,” says Chris Brunsdon, Sales and Marketing Director, “and as with our Conventional box sash the dimensions of frames, meeting rails and glazing bars have been designed to be ‘slim’ with traditional mouldings subtly modified to suit modern construction methods.

 

These factory-finished windows are extremely energy efficient incorporating double glazed units with enhanced thermally insulating glass. A centre pane U-value of 1.1 W/m²K, which far exceeds the requirements of current Building Regulations’, results in an 80% increase in energy savings compared to a single glazed window, and a 45% increase in energy savings when compared to standard double glazing. Efficient draught stripping eliminates rattles and minimises heat loss. The performance of these windows will contribute substantially to reduced energy costs in a home and essential control of CO2 emissions.

 

The hand-finished Hidden Spring™ sash by award-winning Timber Windows is available in hundreds of paint shades and stains. Please ask about the colour matching service to Farrow & Ball and Fired Earth paint ranges. High quality catches and sash lifts in brass or chrome are fitted as standard, and complementary casements and doors can be fitted with hardware from a wide range of beautifully coordinated Samuel Heath ironmongery.

FENSA Registerd

Like any expensive purchase you want to make sure you are getting the right value for money as well as being protected when it comes to your installation and beyond.

This is why Timber Windows not only offer a wide variety of Garuntees but we are also FENSA registerd.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 FENSA stands for the Fenestration Self-Assessment Scheme. Following Government encouragement, FENSA has been set up by the Glass and Glazing Federation (GGF) and other industry bodies in response to Building Regulations for double glazing companies in England and Wales.
 
When replacing windows and doors, homeowners must comply with current thermal performance standards and ensure they get a certificate from FENSA or Local Authority Building Control. FENSA enables companies that install replacement windows and doors to self-certify compliance under these Building Regulations without the need for a separate assessment from Building Control.

By choosing Timber Windows you are saving time and costs because;

You do not have to register your window or door installation with the local authority yourself. Not only is the FENSA approach much faster and easier – it will also save you up to £250!

Compliance with the Building Regulations without the added cost and time of arranging assessment by Building Control

If you own properties across different local authorities – for consistency of quality and price, you are able to use the same FENSA installer for all installations, as they can work in all Local Authority jurisdictions

NEW easy-clean sash and casement windows

---

 

New and Innovative..

Joining a comprehensive range of traditional and contemporary style products designed for the replacement and new build markets, the new Sash & Case can be seen in dedicated Timber Windows showrooms throughout the country.

The Sash & Case design allows the sashes, which are hung on pre-tensioned sash cords, to be released and simply and smoothly tilted into the room making it especially convenient where access is difficult and ease of cleaning is essential. It is the natural choice for mid and high rise buildings, town houses and busy thoroughfares. The Sash & Case was initially developed by Timber Windows for the Scottish market where it meets the stringent requirements of the region’s Building Regulations’.

“Externally there is no visual difference of the Sash & Case to the windows in our established and popular sash collection which have served our customers well,” says Chris Brunsdon “so the addition of this new window completes a fine suite of bespoke sash products in which slender meeting rails, fine glazing bars and traditional mouldings come as standard.”

 

Manufactured from multi-layer or engineered, twist and warp resistant knot-free timber, jamming and rattling is totally eliminated, even in wet weather, while high performance, energy efficient double glazing minimises heat loss and reduces energy consumption. A centre pane U-value of 1.1 W/m²K results in considerable energy savings over single glazed and standard double glazed units, with greater comfort and reduced CO₂ emissions.

 

Sash windows are traditionally finished in smart white or off-white but hundreds of paint colours and stains are available from Timber Windows and make an interesting design statement. A colour matching service to Farrow & Ball and Fired Earth paint ranges is available at a small premium for bespoke schemes. High quality locking catches and traditional sash lifts are fitted as standard, and complimentary casements and doors can be fitted with hardware and accessories from a wide range of beautifully coordinated Samuel Heath collection.
