Wooden Window and door Restoration and Maintenance

"Preserving the Authenticity of Historic Windows and Doors: Island Sashcraft's Method"

At Island Sashcraft, we champion the restoration and renewal of windows and doors using a like-for-like approach, which offers a cost-effective and property-conscious alternative to expensive replacements. This strategy not only safeguards a building's character and historical significance but also enhances its online visibility. Through our painstaking renovations and cutting-edge draught-proofing techniques, these timeless fixtures gain an extended lease on life, simultaneously reducing noise and preventing air infiltration, outperforming contemporary options like plastic or aluminum.

In specific cases, you might encounter cracked window panes or deteriorated, aged putty. In such situations, our skilled craftsmen carefully transport the sashes to our dedicated workshop. Here, we methodically remove, replace, and re-putty the glass. Our unwavering commitment to authenticity ensures that we replace materials true to their historical origins, employing restoration glass for listed properties to preserve their historical accuracy.

Although this process might extend the timeline, especially when dealing with intricate glazing and puttying, it's because quality work cannot be rushed. The putty requires two to three weeks to fully set before the painting process can begin. During this period, we securely board up the windows, offering a temporary glass installation option above the board, ensuring that our customers continue to bask in natural light in their homes while strengthening their online presence through engaging content.
