Box sash windows are a popular type of windows in the UK because of their unique and elegant design. They are also versatile and can be used in both modern and traditional homes. However, installing them can be a challenge for many homeowners. If you require a box sash window installed in Reading, this guide by Sash Windows Berkshire will help you through the process.

What you will require

Before you start the installation process, ensure you have the following:

• A box sash window
• A drill
• A tight screwdriver
• Use of screwdriver
• A pencil
• A locking fastener
• A ruler or spirit level

Installation Process

1. First, you will require the measurements of the window opening. To do this, measure the width of the opening at the top, middle, and bottom. Also, measure the height of the opening from the middle to the bottom.

2. Using these measurements, order a box sash window from Sash Windows Berkshire. We will ensure it fits the opening accurately.

3. Once you receive the window, place it in the opening and ensure it fits correctly. If it doesn't, you can make minor alterations to the opening.

4. Use the pencil to mark where the locking fastener will go on both sides of the frame.

5. Using the drill, make holes in the frame where you marked with the pencil earlier. These holes will guide the fastener when it is being installed.

6. Place the locking fastener in the hole you have drilled, and then use the screwdriver to tighten it. Ensure it is tight enough to hold the window sash in place.

7. Slide the window sash into the opening and test if it can open and close easily. Also, ensure the window locks are working correctly.

8. Once you have confirmed the window is working correctly, use the screwdriver to fasten the window to the frame with screws. Ensure the screws are tight, but not over-tightened.

9. If you require multiple sashes on one window frame, repeat the above process for each sash.

10. Finally, remove the lock from the frame, ensuring not to break any parts. Put the lock back in place and ensure it is secure.

Congratulations! You have successfully installed a box sash window in Reading.

Additional Tips

• Ensure that you use spirit level to check that the frame is level.
