Today’s topic is about terminology or word choice. The words customers use to describe window and door repairs can vary. Some people are on point and use all the correct terms like sliding window or double hung window or awning window. For the most part people know exactly what type of windows or door they have. In some cases, variations words are used or even replaced with (what customers believe to be) interchangeable terms. Th word sash comes up a lot as a singular item for sash cords windows or double hung timber widows. The reality is a sash is just the moving part of the window that has the glass inside of it. So, this means a sash window can cover double hung, sliding, awning, hopper and fixed. Door terms used are a little less specific and can be summed up as front door, back door, or bedroom door. These general terms are ok and I can understand what the customer is after most of the times. However, if you want to be specific you can use terms for bedrooms like hollow core, solid core, block door and even laminated. These are specific to bedroom doors and back doors and front doors. The other terms used can include French doors (also known as double doors), cavity sliding doors (doors that disappear inside the wall) or face fit sliding doors (doors that attached to a top rail fitted to the wall of your bathroom). There are a lot of terms used to describe doors and the best way to identity faults is to just try anything key word listed above and I will be able to get an idea of what you need. Other door terms for the outside can include bi fold doors (also known as stacker doors) or panel doors. These are doors that come in a set and fold back into themselves. Bi fold doors need maintenance and can be repaired with minimal fuss and cost to you. If you would lie to know more please visit www.accesswd.com.au or call 0434901811 and ask for Matteo.
