Window Types

Today there is such a wide range and choice of window styles. In the past the windows have been hinged on their sides and were called a casement window, also the sash sliding window. Nowadays 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. The materials that our windows are constructed from and also the shapes and sizes are really quite considerable. The good thing is that there is always a makers guide to help when installing, if you want to do it yourself. Should you live in an older style of house, it may be that any replacement window has to be made to measure for you. London Glazing will sort all your window needs.

Window Choice:
Usually any time that a window is replaced, the materials and also the mechanics are constructed being sympathetic to the original design to keep some authenticity. Windows like the sash however will contain more modern weights or balances not made of lead. The frame is important, so you should always make sure hat if the old window has a sill, then, you will need to make sure that the new one has a sill also. London Glaziers fit all glass.

Wooden Window:
These types were popular and actually still are, with people choosing 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:
This a replacement option for older windows and come in double glazed units, in white and other colour options.

Aluminium:
The frame for these windows is slim but strong and able to support large glass sheets. The problem is that they conduct heat and are also have massive condensation problems, with old ones rusting but new ones are protected and are low maintenance.
