Sash Window Painting
Elegant and timeless, timber sash windows are one of the most iconic features of Glasgow’s architecture — particularly in the city’s Victorian and Edwardian townhouses, tenement flats, and listed buildings. But without regular maintenance, these beautiful windows can fall victim to rot, flaking paint, swelling timber and draughts.
At Town & City Renovations, we specialise in professional sash window painting and restoration services, helping preserve the heritage and charm of your property while enhancing protection against the elements.
Why Maintain Your Sash Windows?
Original timber sash windows are an asset — not a liability — when properly cared for. Painting and restoration not only improve appearance but also offer significant functional benefits:
-
Protect Timber from Moisture & Rot
-
Prevent Heat Loss
-
Improve Appearance
-
Preserve Period Features
-
Avoid Costly Replacements
Our Sash Window Painting & Restoration Services
We treat every sash window as a unique architectural feature, taking the time to carefully assess and restore each one with expert precision.
-
Full Sanding & Surface Preparation - We begin by removing flaking or blistered paint and sanding the surface to ensure proper paint adhesion. Where needed, we use gentle chemical stripping or steam to preserve detailing on ornate windows.
-
Wood Repairs & Filling - Damaged timber, gaps or rotten sills are repaired using high-quality wood fillers or epoxy resins. We can also splice in new timber where necessary for structural strength and a perfect finish.
-
Primer Application - We use breathable, oil-based or water-based primers designed for timber frames. This provides a protective base layer and helps prevent future moisture ingress.
-
Painting & Finishing Coats - We apply multiple coats of durable, breathable exterior paint — typically microporous formulas that let wood breathe while keeping water out. You can choose from classic heritage tones or modern finishes.
-
Cord & Bead Replacement - If your sash cords are frayed or broken, we’ll replace them as part of the job. We can also renew beading, parting beads and staff beads to improve both function and aesthetics.
-
Optional Draught-Proofing - We can install discreet draught seals and weatherstrips to eliminate cold air gaps and reduce heat loss while maintaining window functionality.
