Our Process – From Start to Finish
We firmly believe the best approach to fitting your box sash windows is to start by acknowledging the existing structure, architecture and character within your home.
This enables us to fully understand the age, era and original features that need to be maintained within your home.
This is a major part of our onsite survey, which we conduct at the start of your window journey.
During this stage, we will thoroughly plan the process with you, guiding you through each step and answering any questions that you may have in order to make the process as streamlined and worry-free as possible.
Sustainability
A significant factor when deciding on your type of window or when considering any home enhancement comes down to its sustainability.
Will it last for years to come? Will it provide value for money? Needless to say, you also consider the environmental impact that such a decision would make.
With this in mind, the majority of wooden sash windows are made from pine trees, which grow at a fast rate; originating from sustainably managed forests. Therefore, for every tree that is cut down, a new tree is planted in its place.
To add to their sustainability, they are also incredibly energy efficient (A-rated) which reduces costs and, therefore any wastage within your household; another reason they truly are a cost-saving investment to your home.
By upholding the heritage and original features of your property, whilst also ensuring its sustainability in a respectful way, you can take comfort in knowing this is the right decision for you and your home.
As an investment addition to your home, you need a firm guarantee that your investment will pay you back, both financially and in terms of making your life a little easier and more comfortable.
Another example where choosing good, ethical materials and services actually does good for the planet!
