The Original Box Sash Window Company Handbook

Minimal Upkeep Costs

Window and door maintenance can be a costly, time consuming process.

The beauty of THE ORIGINAL BOX SASH WINDOW COMPANY timber windows and doors is the way they’ll keep their good looks with little work and minimal expenditure. And
it’s in our workmanship that we ensure this.

Firstly we only select the best quality timber.

Then, three coats of micro-porous paint are applied. This special paint allows inherent moisture in the timber to evaporate away
slowly, over time.

The resulting benefits are:

Paint that bonds and stays firmly on
the surface over time.
Repainting is simply done over the
original finish, eliminating the need of
resanding or stripping.
Full repainting is only necessary
once every seven years.
(Subject to periodic inspection.)

resistance when you come to sell your house.
