Traditional Window Styles & Building Fabric
Documented Architectural Styles: Scottish timber sash and case windows (typically deep-check stone surrounds with internal timber shutters), tenement astragals, and leaded casements.
Coastal and marine exposure (BS 6375-1 / BS EN 1991 wind pressure) requires careful seal depth and durable warm-edge perimeter sealing to withstand cyclic wind gusting and salt-laden air.
