Maintaining the Legacy of Your Period Windows
Traditional windows are a distinctive feature of heritage homes, adding charm and character to your property. However, over time, the window putty that seals the glass panes can deteriorate, allowing drafts, moisture, and noise intrusion. At Gillingham Glass, we offer expert face puttying services to preserve the authenticity and functionality of your historic windows.
The Art of Traditional Face Puttying:
Face puttying is a specialised technique that involves applying a putty compound to the exterior of the window frame, securing the glass panes in place. This meticulous process requires skilled craftspeople who understand:
Choosing the Right Putty: We use traditional putty formulations specifically designed for historical windows, ensuring compatibility and long-lasting results.
Proper Application Techniques: Our experienced glaziers meticulously apply the putty, ensuring a smooth and aesthetically pleasing finish that complements your period windows.
Adherence to Historical Standards: We understand the importance of maintaining the original character of your property. Our work adheres to strict heritage restoration guidelines.

Enhanced Weatherproofing: A properly sealed window with fresh putty prevents drafts, moisture intrusion, and potential damage.
Improved Energy Efficiency: Stop drafts and leaks to create a more comfortable and energy-efficient home.
