uPVC Windows
If your home is in need of modern replacement windows, it might be a good idea to think about uPVC. uPVC, which is a type of plastic, is extremely strong and is a great choice for windows. It is not rot-resistant and does not react with water or chemicals like wood. It also offers more insulation than wooden or metal frames. It is a preferred choice for window frames and can be used in various styles.
Upvc windows come in a wide range of colours. Some are coated to give them a more natural appearance, while others are available in a range of woodgrain finishes that complement various interior designs. These windows can achieve high energy efficiency ratings and can be fitted with double or triple glazing. These windows are perfect for modern homes, and can add value to your home.
They are very popular because they can be opened from the top or bottom and don't require much space. They are easy to clean and can be customised to include options like Georgian bar designs or astragal bars. These windows are also great for older cottage-style homes and can make them more energy efficient.
Another type of uPVC window is the bay window, which extends outwards from the house and often has an attractive bay sill.

Sash Windows
Sash windows are part of the history of architecture in London. They are susceptible to wear from the elements and require regular maintenance to function properly. The good news is that we offer an entire sash window service, which includes the repair and installation of new parts to ensure that your windows are in good condition for many years to come.
Sash windows are typically made up of two frames, one on top of the other. They are held together by a frame, referred to as the box. The box is put into the opening of the building, and is where the window will be put. The two panes inside have glazing bars. They slide upwards and downwards opening and closing the windows.
Sash windows were initially horizontally opening, but later they were improved to open vertically. Robert Hooke, a British philosopher and architect is the person who was credited with the invention. He worked with Christopher Wren to rebuild the city following the Great Fire in 1666. He was also responsible for notable structures like Montagu House in Buckinghamshire, and Ragley Hall in Warwickshire.
There are a few aspects that make sash windows distinct in that they can be tilted open in a similar way to a standard window. This is due to the fact that sash windows have distinct pulleys and weights that counterbalance their weight. A cord concealed within the frame allows them to be moved easily.
Although modern sash windows can be made from many materials, the softwood version is still most well-known. Pine is a durable and durable material that is being employed today, with installations that are more than a hundred years old appearing regularly. We also offer Accoya which is a lab-created wood that comes with the promise of a 50-year guarantee. However, it is still far from the high-end English Oak, which has been used to make sash windows since centuries.

Entrance Screens
The new Elizabeth Line (formerly the Crossrail Project), has screens on every sub-surface platform. These screens offer information to passengers and digital advertisements.
The initial entrance screen to the City of London Cemetery was an old-fashioned construction consisting of Kentish Ragstone walls and Caen stone copings as well as decorative carvings. The stone was originally encased in Portland cement but this proved less than ideal as the acid rain of the 19th Century caused carbonates to decompose and sulphate-crystallisation accelerated the decay of limestones such as Caen.
Nanolime was utilized to slow the complex combination decay mechanisms that were eroding central panel. This prevented the need for expensive stone replacements and provided an alternative to more aggressive chemicals.
