Fenestration is the science of arranging openings in a building. It is a discipline that is older and more complex than it might seem.

Posted: 26 February 2024
Timber sash windows lend elegance and period authenticity to homes large and small, from townhouses to country homes to rustic cottages. They were the most common choice throughout the Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian periods. Although they briefly fell out of favour in the early to mid-20th century, they are once again a popular choice for modern homes and commercial properties.

Posted: 25 January 2024
Sash windows have been popular in homes and businesses since the 17th century. They have two panels, and typically, one is fixed and the other slides vertically to open.
