Heritage is defined as something passed down from generation to generation. A birthright.

This is our inspiration for the heritage range of sliding sash windows, casement windows and heritage external

Style

Our Heritage windows and doors have long been a stylistic feature in any home. Our recent addition to the
Heritage Range is the traditional timber vertical sliding sash window. The beauty & comfort of our Heritage
windows and doors appeals to a wide range of tastes and is the product of choice for many homeowners.

Craftsmanship

The foundation of Munster Joinery has been built around our Heritage Range. Our craftsmen use the most
modern woodworking machinery in the world, but everything they do is built on years of craftsmanship, to
ensure that all Heritage windows and doors are custom built to the highest standards.
The timber arrives at our plant where it is inspected for moisture content, knots cracks or any other defects.
The selected timber is stacked automatically to ensure consistent spacing and circulation of air during
drying. Probes are attached at strategic points throughout the load before it is placed in a computer
controlled drying kiln.
The kiln drying process takes twenty eight days on average. During this period the probes provide
continuous moisture content readings. This allows the humidity levels in the kiln to be controlled to
produce the desired drying profile. Once again the timber is inspected and any rogue pieces are discarded
before the timber is machined, ensuring our Heritage Range achieves the highest quality of craftsmanship
for your benefit.

HERITAGE RANGE

Heritage Sliding Sash Window

Munster Joinery has developed a hardwood box sliding sash window

which is ideal either for the protected building where planning requires it or for
the new build where traditional elegance is sought.

The window

marries the style and elegance of this timeless design with the

weather tightness, energy efficiency and indoor comfort provided by a modern

window.

Design

Our Heritage sliding sash is available in several traditional designs as illustrated

across. For more information please talk to your sales representative

Joggles - Wooden joggles, or horns as they were once known are a standard on our
Heritage hardwood sliding sash windows. They give the box window a traditional look.
Safety - For your added safety, motion restrictors are available that limit the sliding of
the sash as you desire. These are available on request in both brass and chrome
options

Ventilation - There is the option of having a vent on the top of the Heritage sliding sash
window. This is a very slim vent cut into the head of the frame of the window. All vents
can be colour coded to match the timber as closely as possible.
Glazing - Our wooden framed box sash windows can be double or triple glazed for

maximum energy efficiency. While these windows are still made from traditional timber
and manufactured in keeping with the traditional building facade the property owners
can still benefit from thermally efficient glazing. Glazing can be designed so as to
provide sound reduction and excellent thermal insulation.

Colours - Our sliding sash windows are available in a range of colours please refer to
our technical page.

Heritage Sliding Sash Window

Custom Made, Custom Measured

Before we craft your Heritage sliding sash windows your Munster Joinery
technical representative will meet with you, discuss your ideas and provide you
with accurate customised measuring and surveying.
Every window will be made specifically for a particular opening. We control
all aspects of the manufacturing process, therefore we can deliver on site and
on time.

10

Ironmongery / Accessories
The weights and chains that we use in our Heritage sliding sash windows are
similar to those used by master craftsmen as far back as 150 years ago. The box
frame has side frames in which the weight & pulley system is housed. This
operates smoothly to control the upward and downward sliding movement of
the window unit. Following on tradition the sash weights are made from lead.
The ironmongery for the sliding sash window is available in either chrome or
brass. Motion restrictors that limit the sliding of the sash are available.

Features which reduce heat loss

- Our sliding sash window is available double glazed or triple glazed
- Sliding sash windows are glazed with Argon filled units for improved insulation
- Argon is a low conductivity gas which does not allow heat to pass through as easily as air
- They also have soft coat low emissivity glass as standard. This glass has a coating which
reflects heat back into the room.

Safety
- Safety glass is used for all low-level glazing - it breaks safely on impact to reduce risk of
injury.
