The Benefits of a Ventrolla Casement Window Repair
Dating back even further than the sash window to around the 16th century, the less complex casement window replaced simple unglazed openings. Manufacturing glass in large panes was still difficult and so it was common for many smaller pieces to be joined together with lead in attractive patterns.
There is true beauty in the strong clean lines of these windows, as well as the impactful look they give a building but if that breeze is a draught when the windows are closed, or the wooden frames are creaky and rotten when forced open Ventrolla can re-imagine them as modern windows with a real 16th century feel.
- Eliminate Draughts And Rattles
- More Energy Efficient Windows
- Add Value To Your Property
- Reduce Outside Noise
- Ensure Smoother Operation
A casement window’s performance is upgraded using the same principles used on sliding sash windows.
Casement windows have the same inherent 3mm gap that sliding sash windows require to operate smoothly and can therefore suffer similar draught problems, unless they have a high-grade sealing system installed.
Ventrolla’s two part process begins with the treatment and renovation of the window. The second part involves performance upgrading it by draught proofing the window using our unique Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System. Using the same materials we use on sliding sash windows ensures the same high quality performance.
The system is installed into either the frame of the window or the sash itself depending upon the construction of the window. If appropriate, the system can be installed into staff bead around the frame.
The pile carrier is routed into the timber giving a permanent fixing point and making the system an integral part of the window. Our system can also be installed into sash windows and other timber windows and doors.
Whether your project has sash or casement windows, Ventrolla’s system can improve the Window’s Energy Rating (WER) whilst retaining its original character.
Renovate Old Timber
Just like sash windows, the first part of casement repairs focus on renovating or replacing any rotten timbers in the casement sash or frame.
Renovate or Replace
If required, a new moving sash can be made to replace the existing sash in your casement window and simply replace the old one. This can be single or double-glazed, dependent on choice and budget.
Draught proofing system
Next we focus on performance upgrading the window by installing a draught proofing system, our unique Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System.
Installation
The Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS) is installed into the frame of the casement window, depending upon its construction, or, if appropriate, installed into staff bead around the frame.
Permanent fixing point
The draught proof pile carrier is routed into the timber of your window giving a permanent fixing point and making the system an integral part of the window.
Completion
Finally, we check your window is opening and closing properly, and replace or install any new hardware, if required.
NO DRAUGHTS OR RATTLES
