Casement Windows

Casement windows are a popular choice of window that are commonly found in traditional properties such as estate cottages.

Whether plain, cottage bar or Georgian bars, these windows will add charm and character to your home whether for new build or a renovation project.
Combined with efficient double glazing and draught stripping to achieve the best possible performance.

Sash Windows

Sliding sash windows have been a very familiar sight in various properties for hundreds of years. 

Our method of box construction has not changed since that seen in early joinery workshop manuals. Tongued together and incorporating traditional mouldings, glazing bars and sash horns, it is our aim to continue with this traditional method.

Double draught stripping to sash edges to provide the smooth running of sashes. Operating on new weights, cord and pulleys or on spiral balances.

Planitherm Glass

All of the timber windows and doors that you’ll find here at GBS Joinery incorporate Planitherm double glazing which offers the latest technology in its completely new generation of high performance, soft coat low E (emissivity) glass. With the inclusion of warm edge spacer bars and argon gas, GBS are able to reduce cold edge bridging on all of your casement, box sash or sliding sash windows.

Planitherm glass will ensure that your windows are more efficient in keeping your home warm & bright; in fact it has been proven to offer THREE TIMES more efficiency than standard double glazing. Thermal glass coating offers our customers the latest advancements, allowing them to reduce household costs by pushing them further towards the recommended energy saving status.

As Europe’s leading energy saving double glazed glass providers, Planitherm is one of the highest quality products available on the window market. By reflecting radiated heat back into the rooms in your home rather than letting it escape, your property will act as a much brighter and welcoming environment for you and your family to enjoy. Both stylish and efficient, Planitherm is able to capture the natural daylight and allow it to pass through the glass.

The Results?

A more comfortable, lighter, brighter, warmer and more energy efficient home that saves you money on your monthly bills which are often costly, especially in the winter.

Thanks to Planitherm’s advanced thermal insulation, you get 3 times more efficient than single glazed windows. Not only that, these windows are at least 25% more efficient than most double glazed windows.

Timber Quality

Timber being a natural product is prone to defects and as such we endeavour to not only source the best possible quality of timber but to deal with as many of the defects as possible during the manufacturing process.

Coatings

Factory painting of windows and doors by GBS uses a specialised industry developed and recognised microporous paint system designed specifically for timber windows and doors to provide long lasting protection against weathering and to resist cracking and flaking.

Maintenance and redecoration will be required throughout the life of the product at intervals of between 8 – 10 years for light colours, reduced to 5 – 8 years for dark colours depending on exposure and orientation.
It is advisable to wash down paintwork annually with a mild detergent and soft cloth to prevent the build up of dirt . Do not use any abrasive products.
When re coating use only microporous paints, do not use traditional oil based paints or paints that will seal the surface.
