Draughty, binding or inoperable casements and doors are an all too familiar problem for many owners of Australian heritage property. During the hot summer months air entering from unsealed windows puts extra strain on air conditioning systems whilst during the winter, stopping cold draughts greatly improves the comfort of your home. Our recondition and draught seal procedure will restore your casement windows and doors to proper working order, stopping rattles and controlling intrusive draughts. Controlling the draughts also reduces the airborne noise & dust being carried into your home as well as saving on fuel bills.
Many old casements & doors have suffered due to a break down of the inferior animal glues that were commonly used during construction. This has resulted in open mortise & tenon joints that are susceptible to fungal and insect attack. These can be repaired, using modern adhesives to ensure a prolonged life for the frame.
We also undertake glazing repairs or upgrades and attend to failed putties. |
