Traditional windows can often be simply and economically repaired, usually at a cost significantly less than replacement. For timber windows this is largely due to the high quality and durability of the timber that was used in the past (generally pre-1919) to make windows.
Glass conservator and Holy Well Glass founder Stephen Clare provides an invaluable introduction to historic leaded light windows, from historic glass-making techniques such as the drawn cylinder method and the Fourcault Process to repair methods including resin edge bonds, copper foil repairs and re-leading techniques.
Traditional Windows: their care, repair and upgrading. This guidance on traditional windows covers both timber and metal windows and is aimed at building professionals and property owners. Historic windows are often of considerable importance to the significance of listed buildings.

Almost regardless of how modern a window looks overall, the inclusion of thin decorative barscan transform the most contemporary of products into a traditional window. Simply a single horizontal bar is often a cost-effective and stylistically-effective way of doing this. And more complex grid patterns (whilst sometimes costly) can enhance further. ...
Arguably, the two best things about our hinges is that 1. There is a variety of choice. And 2. If you aren’t keen on any of the choices, you don’t have to have visible hinges at all in most cases! The traditional side hung hinge comes in a few forms: galvanised steel, stainless steel and powder-coated are all available. When choosing powder-coated,...
Whilst colour is all about preference, we think some work much better than other in a traditional setting. Generally, a very bright white is always associated with PVC windows (which is a product style people normally do not desire to evoke) and Anthracite Grey is rapidly becoming the go-to solution for modern aluminium windows. So, we’re tempted t...
The style and colour of a handle seems to harshly split opinion with our customers. For example, the three handles below include the standard options from STM and UnikFunkis. When we show these to a customer side-by-side, everyone almost instantly has a favourite, These are the standard, and naturally the most popular options. But there are other h...
We couldn’t talk about traditional windows and not talk about Vrogum. Vrogum are a relatively small manufacturer on the west coast of Denmark, focusing purely on an their slow-grown Nordic-pine timber windows. Because the window is internally-beaded, they are able to offer a slightly slimmer frame compared to most other Danish timber products. And ...
Somewhere in the middle (in terms of factory size) sit STM Windows. Their Sapino product is engineered finger-jointed timber, guaranteed to be knot-free and has a much thicker paint application that the Danish standard. The alu-clad timber equivalent – Tinium – also has a low-gloss finish, and is one of the very few composite windowsthat you are ab...
You can probably see from the areas we’ve outlined above, the term and idea of a “traditional window” is heavily influenced by your experiences and preferences. I once showed a German customer the “modern” and “traditional” windows from the Rationel range, and she said that she considered the “modern” version to actually be more traditional based o...
This guide aims to give you a brief outline of the history of leaded lights in the UK and traditional glass, and production techniques, advise on a typical maintenance routine and describe likely restoration processes where necessary.
Nov 30, 2022 · Just because your original windows have glass technology from 15 years ago, doesn’t mean your new glass units should! If you wish, your new glass units can be made to match your dimensions of your old ones, but have upgraded thermal coatings, tints or even self-cleaning properties!

Jul 23, 2013 · Your windows may be part of your home's original design, or they may have been altered or replaced. Some are still glazed with historic glass which is now very rare and valued.
