DOUBLE GLAZING
We can give you all the benefits of double glazing while retaining the charm and character of your sash windows. We can supply and install wooden replica sashes that are double glazed with energy efficient glass.
Using the original box frames we can install a pair of our double glazed sashes and combine the benefits of the draught proofing to ensure a very high performing window that looks as original as the ones removed within miller meters.
The sash window, in many cases has been around for well over 100 years. They are one of few that look correct in a period property. We produce and install a timber window that will not only maintain the value of your home / property but will also give you a much greater degree of warmth, efficiency and noise reduction.

DRAUGHR PROOFING & RESTORATION

In these days of high cost energy prices, now is the time to think of energy saving draught proofing. Noise levels are reduced by approx 10 decibels, and draughts eliminated.
When doing draught proofing, we offer a full service, because on removal of staff beads and parting beads we have access to the box frame, thereby allowing us to service the pulleys, fit new sash cords and if necessary add new weights
