Spiral Balance

Sliding Sash Spiral Balance windows are a modern version of windows designed by Robert Hooke back in the 17th century. The weight and cord attached to it, which initially were the opening mechanism, have been replaced by spiral balance manufactured by Caldwell for easier sliding. The traditional English look has however been entirely preserved. Vertical opening allows for the space around the window to be fully utilised.
