Heritage Range – Cords & Weights
The Heritage Range
Period and historic buildings deserve particular attention to detail when considering replacement windows. Our Heritage window range has been specifically designed for listed buildings and where conservation approval is required. Designs utilise single or slimline glazing options with lambs tongue profiling, suitable for the most architecturally sensitive projects
Sliding Sash Cords & Weights
The Heritage Sliding Sash Cords & Weights window is a vertical sliding sash, incorporating a traditional pulleys and weights lifting system. The Cords & Weights design utilises a heavy weight nylon cord on self-lubricating wheels to operate the window.
The Heritage Sliding Sash window with its classical flush line appearance has been specifically designed for listed and graded buildings where conservation approval is required.
The Heritage Sliding Sash is sympathetically designed to maximise glass areas and retain the properties historical internal features. Often in period buildings the need arises for a reduced frame width to fit behind reveals without projecting into rooms.
Specifically designed for listed buildings
Exclusive Design Features
The Heritage window features the slimmest frame section available in high performance joinery, with a 140mm frame depth and glass line to daylight frame width of 47mm.
The Heritage Cords & Weights Sliding Sash window is ideal for the most architecturally sensitive of projects with the option of single or slimline double glazing.
The double glazed siding sash provides energy efficient period living, with slimline 14mm krypton filled glazing to suit listed properties where historically traditional double glazing has been rejected.

Optional Features
For buildings where double glazing is not deemed appropriate the 4mm single glazed option offers the perfect solution. The Heritage Sliding Sash window is now available with deeper bottom rails on the lower sashes that can be increased from 66mm to 100mm to meet conservation requirements.
A popular window specification chosen to retain the period features of a listed building is a white colour paint finish, brass or antique black Ironmongery with 16mm Georgian bars.
