It’s natural to think about painting our windows as the finish has an authentic timber look. However, they are a maintenance free alternative to timber which means they will not need painting, sanding or staining. There are a wide range of colours to choose from click here and you just need to wipe them with some warm water to keep them looking pristine for years to come! 

When a unit is bonded in, it makes the window incredibly strong and secure, in the rare case that a unit gets damaged or breaks down, the bonded glass can be cut out and a new unit re-bonded on site. However, this can be quite time consuming so sometimes installers will recommend that a new sash may be a better option.
