Legendary architectural parts designer Marvin Architectural has made the whole British building industry happy this year – by redesigning the sliding sash window.
The new version of the old building classic looks set to reinstate the sash as the language of choice for architects and builders across the United Kingdom: marrying the timeless beauty and style of the sash window with the reliability and modern functionality of state of the art glazing solutions.
Marvin Architectural has the whole market covered. The company has developed three distinct styles of sliding sash window to ensure that every building project, every new build and rebuild, every refit, has a sash option that will work perfectly for it. The entry level sash or traditional sliding sash is made from thinner jamb wood and can be inserted into existing window apertures – meaning that home owners and construction companies do not need to spend time and money knocking out a bespoke sized hole for a new window frame. The next level up, the full sliding sash, comes with a generous, wide internal jamb made of real wood, which transforms any room into a classic, elegant living space. The external parts of the mid range sash are clad wood or treated aluminium.
The piece de resistance, though, is Marvin Architectural’s large sliding sash window: a made to order piece that can be fitted in any larger room and is ideal for ground and second floor windows in more valuable or imposing homes. A full list of specifications for Marvin’s bespoke sliding sashes can be seen on site at http://www.marvin-architectural.com/sliding-sash-windows.html. The large sash window is fitted with a superior set of finely balanced pulley wheels and tackles units, to ensure smooth and soundless operation at all times and in all weathers.
