Fitting and handling
Allow the timber to acclimatise in the intended environment for at least 48 hours before installation, particularly in older properties with variable humidity levels.

Store flat and off the ground under cover to prevent cupping or moisture ingress prior to fitting.
FAQ
What is a sash window outer casing?
The outer casing is the outermost vertical timber that forms the sides of the sash window box frame. It sits against the masonry or external wall lining and works together with the pulley stile, liners and sill to contain the sash weights and guide the sliding sashes.
Can I use this casing on a listed building repair?
Yes. Machined softwood outer casings are widely accepted for like-for-like repairs on listed buildings, provided the profile and dimensions match the original. We recommend confirming the exact profile with your conservation officer before ordering if approval is required.
Do I need to treat the timber before fitting?
The casing is supplied ready to finish. All faces, edges and end cuts should be primed before installation, and a quality exterior paint system applied to achieve a durable weather-resistant finish. This also helps the timber meet Use Class 2 requirements for above-ground exterior joinery.
