When I announced we were planning to restore our sash windows I received a lot of feedback. Most people thought we were crazy to not just get new windows. We decided to restore for many reasons. First & most importantly, we felt the old wooden sash windows were lovely & worth restoring. We also were blown away at the astronomical cost to replace them. When we found a local craftsman @mobiletrimcarpentry & he assured us our sash could & should be saved we knew we were making the right call! It has been amazing watching these old widows go from being an eyesore to things of beauty! Follow along as we continue the restoration! 🪟 #sashrestoration #windowrepair #windowglazing #mysouthernliving #ouroldhouse #adwellingtoremember #vintagemademodern #alabamahomes #mobilebay #makinghouseahome

Changing windows is one of those huge house expenses that you put off… until you realise how much difference it makes. Not just to how your home looks, but to the warmth, the drafts, the heating bill — everything. I still laugh (and slightly shiver) thinking about the flat I lived in during university. It had single-glazed sash windows, and when my mum came over from Latvia she could not get her head around how I was surviving in that cold room. She kept asking, “How are you living like this?!” So when it came to our own home, replacing the old PVC windows was right at the top of the list. And honestly? Going with a Polish company for the second time was the best decision. Their quality is just on another level — and the quote came back at half the price of the local companies. Half! They even recreated that tiny original curve in the sash design, which made my renovation-loving heart so happy. The only thing to know is that installation is a big extra cost, and you’ll need to organise your own installer or get your builder to do it (usually cheaper). But the windows arrived fully painted in our RAL colour, architraves and windowsills included, which made everything feel so easy and seamless.

AD. The sash windows in my son’s room were a real mess. However, I knew that with a little bit of DIY work and by dressing them up, I could elongate their life and make them look a whole lot better! After sanding back the sash window frames, filling any problem areas, priming them and painting them blue, I replaced the rusty old hardware with some beautiful new window furniture from @corstonarchitecturaldetail . Designed and engineered in the UK and made from real solid brass, I already have Corston Architectural Detail knobs on all of my kitchen cabinets, so I knew the quality was amazing. This time, I went for the polished nickel finish for the window fasteners, stops and lifts, as they will stay looking shiny and new without the need for any metal treatments or buffing further down the line. I loved the finish next to the soft blue the windows were now painted in and their bright and sparkly look elevated the old timber frames. To finish, I added some new curtains and a DIY pelmet, and this is the final look! I am so happy with how they came out and that I’ve managed to preserve one of the older features of my period home.

How to repair a broken box sash window Start by removing the trim that's holding the window sash in place. Be careful and take your time because you probably want to reuse it. Once the sash is out, remove the inserts to access the weights. Pull them out and use the old cord to measure the new cord length, and then feed the new cord in through the top rollers. I recommend using a figure-eight knot at each end. When you have the weight tied off and reinstalled, pull the cord all the way out and use a clamp to hold it. Attach the sash and fit it back in place. Reinstall the insert. Reattach the trim, leaving a small gap against the sash so it won't bind. And that's how you fix a box sash window #HomeImprovement #DIY #carpenter #remodel

ad Our sash windows were one of the things that sold us on this house, but as beautiful as they are, they’re not without their drawbacks. The single glazing is a poor insulator, which means chilly rooms and condensation that can eventually damage the frames. We wanted a cost-effective solution that would still retain all the original character, and after asking for recommendations on stories, one name came up again and again, @retro.glazing. They came to fit their retrofit secondary glazing in our living room, and I honestly couldn’t be more thrilled. The panes slot seamlessly into our original sash windows, keeping the room wonderfully warm and quiet. Big thank you to the team for such a smooth install, we couldn’t be happier! 🏡✨ #periodhome #renovation #sashwindows

5 TIPS WHEN BUYING SASH WINDOWS… 1. Sapele & Accoya should be the only go to timber when building sash windows based on their durability, rot resistance and overall quality of longevity 2. Be mindful of shiny brochures as the timber made from abroad is usually made or laminated softwood which is not designed to last in British weather. Way to often do I get calls to repair sills and windows in new joinery less than 10 years old 3. Glazing is extremely important and if you’re not using warm edge spacer bars, soft coat or toughened glass then you’ll have a unit destined to fail or not even comply to regulations. We like to use 16mm units for conservation areas but for FENSA regulations you need to use 24mm units with Argon gas to comply to the U-Values 4. Although you do get a lot of longevity with new sprayed box frames, more often it’s acceptable to repurpose the old box frames and just insert new hardwood sashes in which can save the original timber which is more than likely old growth pine which has last over 100 years(it’s basically hardwood with the tightness of the grain) 5. Imported windows tend to be finger-jointed which is far inferior to the traditional mortise and tenon method. It’s not question that building it how it was originally built should be the way it’s done. Full stop! I hope this helps when making a big investment decision for your home, it’s about what’s going to last opposed to what looks good when it’s painted but won’t last 5 years #sashwindows #boxframes #glazing #joinery #madeinlondon
