Specifications
| Property | Detail |
|---|---|
| Material | Timber |
| Length | 1.2m / 1200mm / 4ft |
| Profile | Traditional sash window top rail section |
| Application | Upper sash frame, single-glazed windows |
What it's used for
- Replacing a damaged or rotten top rail on an existing upper sash in a period or listed property
- Forming part of a full sash window rebuild where new upper sash components are required
- Matching original joinery profiles in heritage restoration projects where continuity of section is important
- Pairing with other sash window components such as meeting rails, stiles, and glazing bars for a complete upper sash assembly
Fitting and handling
Allow the section to acclimatise indoors for at least 48 hours before fitting, particularly in older properties where humidity levels may differ from storage conditions. The section should be fixed using appropriate wood adhesive and mechanical fasteners suited to the joining method of the existing sash frame, ensuring square assembly before the adhesive sets. Before painting or priming, lightly sand any machined faces and apply a suitable timber primer to all surfaces including end grain to protect against moisture ingress.
