The Window

There is an ever growing selection of new window types on the market. This is good as this will allow all kinds of window requirements to be satisfied. Many years ago the choice was limited to side hinged or the sliding sash style of window. Today there are a couple of options for the mechanics that provide a hinge for our windows such as a pivot and friction type which is quite common. There has also been a revolution in the materials that our windows are made from and also the shapes and sizes are really quite considerable. The process of window fitting has become quite straightforward as well. If the house is an older style and you need a new window it could be that a new replacement window needs to be made to measure for you. London Glazing can supply and fit all your window needs. Normally, when a window is renewed, the materials and also the functionality and hardware mechanics are made in a sympathetic way in order to keep to the original design and promote an authentic product that will not look out of place. There are some windows like a sash for example that will feature a more modern balancing system that will not be made from hazardous material like lead.

The window frame is also very important, so you must always ensure that if the old window is fitted with a sill, then, that you make sure that the replacement is the same. London Glaziers fit all types of glass.

Aluminium (Metal):
These window frames are slim but very strong, durable and able to support large panes of glasswork. They have a big problem, however and that is they conduct heat and are also prone to massive condensation issues. The older of this type of frame used to rust, but the new ones are protected and require little or no maintenance.

Hardwood:
The wooden type are still very popular, with many people picking hardwood for its hard wearing qualities and looks. Hardwood can be painted or just oiled for protection, it is quite expensive but good value.

Vinyl Covered:
This type a replacement option for older windows and come in double glazed units, in white and a varied colour option.
