Types Of Windows And Doors For Your House or Office

15th September 2011

Everyone wants their house to look appealing, not only on the outside, but on the inside as well. There are many things that can enhance the look of your house or office, and one important factor is its windows. Windows can greatly improve the look of a building and can make the most of the natural light. The Specialist in Traditional Sash Windows in Surrey offers several types of windows and doors such as box sash windows, casement windows, French doors and bi-folding doors. But which of these is right for you?

Sash windows most commonly consist of glazed panels that slide vertically or in some cases horizontally with an internal pulley system. They are often found in Georgian and Victorian houses and so can provide a traditional appearance for houses and offices of any age. The Specialist in Traditional Sash Windows’ new sash windows are made from Grade A Redwood timber and are fitted with double glazing.

Another type of wooden window is the casement window. These are windows which are attached to their frame by one or more hinges, commonly either at the top (awning windows) or at the side. They are an effective way of increasing the amount of sunlight entering a room and also the amount of ventilation, as they are very easily opened and closed. The Specialist in Traditional Sash Windows’ double glazed casement windows are also made of Grade A Redwood timber and are fitted with a full draught exclusion system.

With regard to glazed doors, bespoke single front doors, French doors and bi-folding doors are options that could greatly enhance the look of your home or office. Bi-folding doors can be used both internally and externally and are becoming an increasingly popular choice. This is due to the flexibility they can provide through it being possible to use them as a single door or open them up fully.

For all you window needs, whether it’s for your home or office, visit The Specialist in Traditional Sash Windows in Surrey and you will be able to make your choice from a wide selection of the highest quality wooden windows and doors.
