Windows

Back in the days before upvc our sole business was manufacturing made to measure windows for the building trade and domestic public.
So as you can imagine we have perfected the art of manufacturing high quality bespoke window frames to suit all applications.

Styles of windows we can offer:

Stormproof Casement Windows - This is the norm for windows in everyday applications in houses and commercial buildings, where the opener is rebated around the outer edge of the window frame to give enhanced weatherproofing performance. These windows can be manufactured with normal hinges or Friction Hinges (as seen in upvc applications).

Flush Fitting Casement Windows - This type of window is usually found in older properties and is very similar the stormproof window but it is not rebated around the actual outer frame.These windows can either be fitted with face mounted hinges or standard butt hinges, friction hinges tend not to work so well here as a lot of the hinge becomes visible from outside.

Traditional Sliding Sash Windows - This is the one everyone is talking about right now! Again Usually found in older houses only single glazed and draughty! Not at Darcy joinery - we can produce high quality sliding sash windows Double glazed  with full thickness units (16mm cavity), locking handles and fully draught proofed openings.

We have worked closely with our suppliers of ironmongery and draught seals to help us produce a traditional style window with all the benefits of a modern design.

Duplex Glazing System - This system is used mainly in conservation areas where thin glazing bars are required but cannot be acheived in conjunction with double glazed units.

The duplex system is simple but very effective and is manufactured by forming the divisions of each pane inside the double glazed unit with the spacer bar matching that of the perimeter. We then apply timber beads - usually 22mm wide - to the external surfaces of the glass, this gives the illusion of seperate pieces of glass (even on close inspection) when in actual fact it's just one piece.

This system also offers better weatherproofing properties especially when compared to a traditional 'Georgian' type window which can sometimes be prone to water ingress at the crucifix joints.


Our sliding sashes are available with three different mechanisms:


1, Traditional weights ropes and pulleys
2, Sprung spiral balances (very popular and virtually maintenance free)
3, Slide and tilt - this is based on the spiral balance mechanism with the added benefit of each sash to be able to tilt inwards for easy cleaning of the outside surfaces


 


All our windows are fully beaded and have draught seal fitted around all casement openings, sash windows have brush type draught exclusion fitted to staff beads and parting beads.

All windows are available with trickle ventilation if required (standard requirement on any new build)
