Mellott windows restoration
restoration
What ever condition your existing timber windows and doors are in Mellott Windows will bring them back to there former glory. Our process begins with a thorough survey of the windows and doors to determine the necessary level of refurbishment. Typically, we remove the sashes from the window frame, fit new braided sash cords, high-quality pulleys, and weather-sealed parting beads.
The sashes are then machined to accept unobtrusive Q-Lon weather seals, re-hung, and balanced. If desired, we can upgrade to High Performance Double-Glazing with minimal visual impact, subject to Local Planning Rules if your property is not a Listed Building.
Refinish
Refinishing, painting, and restoring historic windows requires a meticulous approach to preserve their architectural integrity and elevate their elegance. Begin with a thorough assessment, carefully inspecting for damage and determining necessary repairs.
Remove hardware and sashes, stripping old paint with heat guns and precision tooling, followed by sanding for a smooth surface. Repair any damaged or decayed timber by slicing in new matching timber profile sections. Using wood filler for minor imperfections.
The timber will be primed with two coats of high-quality primer, followed by a finish coat of micro-porous, breathable "Teknos" exterior paint, with sanding between applications for a flawless finish.
Adhering to local preservation guidelines and considering professional assistance can ensure an exquisite and historically respectful restoration, maintaining the windows' timeless beauty and sophistication.
