Feltham Hill Road sash proportions
At Rowland Hill Almshouses on Feltham Hill Road, four-over-one sliding sash windows define the opening's proportions. That detail belongs to the named group, yet it provides a useful assessment principle: existing shutter rails and panel widths should be read against the actual sash divisions rather than imposed across decorative glazing.
We check the meeting rail, reveal and fixing position alongside the shutter frame, hinges and complete panel movement. If a panel has shifted, the surrounding gaps show whether re-hanging is enough or whether support elsewhere needs repair; for restoration, the structure must remain sound before finish work is planned. The four-over-one pattern at Rowland Hill Almshouses gives a clear visual reference for an Ashford condition assessment, helping rail position, panel drift and any obstruction of the sash lines to be discussed precisely.
