Who says timber windows are high maintenance? 20 years and no touch ups at Kings Cross!
O
ver 20 years ago, plans came to fruition for a large redevelopment of the Kings Cross area of London. The
regeneration of the surrounding buildings became a catalyst for further development and in changing the overall area. Regent’s Quarter was the first area to begin development and this is when George Barnsdale entered the scene,
installing
approximately 350 sliding sash windows and 40 doors to remain in keeping with the history of the area. Two decades later, the outstanding quality of George Barnsdale’s products is evident in how well the windows and doors have stood the test of time. Though some are in need of a good clean, the timber and the paint finish is still perfectly intact despite no recoating having taken place in that time.
“They have very good thermal and acoustic performance even by today’s standards,
with exceptional coating performance. We don’t know of any glazing
unit failures. In the late 90’s we developed a drained and vented glazing system which allows the double-glazed units to perform very well.” Commented Stephen Wright, George Barnsdale.
Exceptional long-term performance
doesn’t only rely on our 4 coat painting process but with good design and paying particular attention to all the smaller details that enhance the life of the coating.

Advertorial.indd 1 The future of sustainable buildings is here
With recent changes to Part L regulations, all new buildings in England are required to achieve higher energy effi ciency. As part of these measures, the maximum allowable U-value for windows was lowered to 1.2W/ m2
K and will shift further to 0.8W/m2 K by
2025. The innovative window supplier Eterno empowers architects by providing timber and alu-clad windows with superb energy effi ciency and the thinnest frame on the market. Their state-of-the- art windows and doors achieve an exceptional lifetime and offer unbeatable customisability and design freedom.

One of the main reasons the products are performing so well after such a prolonged period is the paint process which is an advanced four stage coating system. Superior to most companies’ three stage process, the Barnsdale process provides extra protection to the timber and a superior finish.
