Technical
Our company policy is to maintain quality and
traditional methods over any modern shortcuts that may be available. For
example the use of spring balances as a substitute for weights and pulleys. All
our joinery is manufactured using mortice and tenon joints wedged and glued in
the time honored way. All mouldings, horn shapes and construction details are
faithfully reproduced by craftsmen.
Timber
All Karters Sash Windows are constructed using joinery
quality Swedish sourced softwood timber with sapele hardwood cills from
sustainable sources. We are conscious of any environmental issues with the use
of timber in our products.
Draught System
Our internal brush pile not only cuts draughts
significantly, it also reduces dirt entering your home, the system cuts down
friction, enabling the sash to glide up and down effortlessly. Noise reduction
is also an added benefit of the draught system.
Paint
Finishing
All Karters Sash Windows before leaving the factory
undergo a thorough preparation before being preservative treated, primed and
undercoated in readiness for final decoration after installation. Paint
finishes can be either oil based or micro porous acrylic depending on your
preference.
Glass
and Glazing
We offer a complete range of glazing options to fulfill
your needs from insulation to security all our products meet current building
and safety regulations. All our double glazed units are fitted from the inside
for added security.

Glazing
We can use 4mm or 6mm float glass which has been
toughened to increase its safety and giving it a slight rippled effect
mimicking the Victorian glass manufacturing process.
Double
Glazing
All our range are fitted with 24mm sealed units
consisting of 4mm glass, 16mm air gap, 4mm glass. Toughened glass, a low E
coating to inner pane. Low E stands for low emissivity, which is a coating
which reflects heat back into the room but allowing heat from the sun to
penetrate into the room. Argon gas is used to fill the gap between the panes to
increase the efficiency of the double glazed units. These units conform to part
L of the building regulations.
