Oldeways Period Joinery
Hand crafted double glazed hardwood sliding sash windows for listed, period & modern properties
In 2003 new regulations were brought in to cover the installation and fitting of windows to comply with the European rules on the conservation of fuel and power to cut down on global emissions form heating.
At Oldeways Period Joinery we saw that this coursed a problem for anyone who had a period property and wanted to replace there sliding sash windows as there were very little options at the time and as UPVC is such a damaging product for the environment, being made from lead and oil with such a short life span, after 10 to 20 years it is just land fill.
Jason is a supporter of all green issues concerning the environment and conservation and so decided that with the high levels of craftsmanship and the years of experience that our highly skilled team has at Oldeways Period Joinery we could design windows that meet the Part-L regulations but also do not detract from the look of the property, at this point we could offer sliding sash windows which had a U-Value of 1.5, 25% more energy efficient than UPVC.
The regulations have been tightened again in 2010 and now all windows that are covered by Part-L have to have a U-value of 1.6 or below.
“we are absolutely delighted with the work you have carried out and many people in the village have already commented on the improvement. We would have no issue in recommending your services in the future”
