At Gascoyne Joinery, we specialise in creating high-quality, sliding sash windows that combine traditional beauty with modern-day performance. Our recent project in Cuckney, a peaceful village in rural Nottinghamshire, highlights the attention to detail and craftsmanship we bring to every job.
Timber Sliding Sash Windows for a Historic Rectory
We recently worked on a charming period property—an old rectory in the heart of Cuckney. The homeowner needed new sliding sash windows that would match the originals but perform to modern standards.
To begin with, we carefully assessed the original windows and internal features. Our goal was clear: create windows that preserve the traditional appearance while enhancing efficiency and comfort.
That’s exactly what we delivered.
We manufactured bespoke timber sliding sash windows to match the style of the existing windows. To improve insulation and weather protection, we integrated double glazing and concealed draught seals—all without altering the heritage look of the building.
Moreover, we crafted new interior wooden shutters, carefully designed to match the original shutters found in the older parts of the home. This detail helped maintain the authentic character throughout the property.
Durable Finish with a Custom Touch
Every window was factory painted using our four-coat paint system, which ensures a flawless finish and long-lasting durability. Additionally, we colour-matched the paint to a custom RAL colour, allowing the new windows to blend seamlessly with the home’s historical charm.
As a result, the rectory retains its elegant exterior while benefiting from improved energy performance and minimal maintenance needs.
