What it's used for

  • Replacing a damaged or rotted bottom rail on the upper sash of a double-hung timber sash window
  • Restoring listed and heritage property sash windows where like-for-like timber profiles are required by planning conditions
  • Matching existing joinery during full sash refurbishment alongside new glazing beads and pulley stiles
  • Cutting to length on site when replicating non-standard window widths in period properties

Fitting and handling

Before fitting, allow the rail to acclimatise inside the property for at least 48 hours to reduce movement after installation. Prime all faces, including any cut ends, before glazing and fix using seasoned PVA wood adhesive along with appropriate hardwood pins or screws, countersunk and filled, prior to a final painted finish. Store flat and off the ground in a dry, ventilated space to avoid any twist or distortion before use.

FAQ

What is a top sash meeting rail and where does it sit in the window?

The top sash meeting rail is the lowest horizontal member of the upper sash. It sits at roughly mid-window height, overlapping with the upper rail of the lower sash to create the characteristic central joint you see on a traditional double-hung sash window.

Can I use this meeting rail on a listed building without planning issues?

Timber meeting rails machined to match the original profile are generally acceptable for like-for-like repair on listed buildings, but you should confirm the exact profile requirement with your local conservation officer before ordering. Nottage Timber Merchants can advise on profile options if you contact us with a drawing or sample measurement.

Do I need any other parts alongside the top sash meeting rail?

For a complete draught-resistant repair, pair this rail with a Meeting Rail Connector Strip to reduce air infiltration at the central joint. A matching glazing bead, available separately from Nottage Timber Merchants, is also recommended to secure the glass pane and simplify any future glass replacement.

Best non-slip no show sock!
Size: 6-10, Color: Black
I love these socks! I wear them mostly with my slip on vans. The are thin so your feet can breathe (I hate thick socks). They have a grip on the heal so that they don't slip off of your feet, and it actually works! My only negative about these socks would be that if you have bigger than a size 8 foot, I would not purchase them because they do run a bit small. I wear a size 7 and they fit perfectly! They do look very tiny upon unpacking, but they stretch to the according size. I would also recommend letting them air dry after washing them and not putting them in the dryer. The first pair I purchased, I made the mistake of drying them and they shrank to an unbelievably small size. I've had my second set of socks for over 4 months now and have not had any problems since Ive been air drying them. I have not encountered any problems with them tearing as other have stated. Even though these are thin socks, they seem to be made quite well in my opinion.

I buy these again and again through the years!
Size: Medium, Color: Austin Brown Assorted (6-pairs)
Love these. After a year or two I wear holes in the bottoms because I wear them so much. Worth the little bit higher price because of the fit and comfort. Love how they are truly no show

Good quality but tight on toes
Size: 6-10, Color: White/Assorted
These are great socks that stay in place, but they scrunch my toes together like crazy. My feet are normal width. When I first started wearing them I noticed my feet would ache after an hour or two.

My New Favorite Socks
Size: 6-10, Color: Halo Gray/Assorted
These have quickly become mine and my mom's favorite socks. We wear them with tennis shoes, Hey Dudes, and more. The fabric is incredibly soft and comfortable, they do not budge/fall in my shoe, and are extremely well made. I have become so attached to these socks, that I no longer want any other brand.
