Energy Efficient Wooden Windows And Doors

Consumers are increasingly looking to upgrade their home to be more energy efficient. For period properties this is especially a problem, with many having draughty, single glazed windows. However, providing planning permissions allow it, there is no reason why period properties cannot benefit from double glazed windows and doors while also retaining their traditional style. The Sash Window Workshop were contacted to help upgrade 17 windows and some French doors at a neo-Georgian property in a Conservation Area in West London.

The new joinery needed to be double glazed but otherwise a replica of the original windows and door. Most of the window frames were in a good condition, so a quotation was provided for a mixture of new sashes into the existing frames and, for items where the frame had deteriorated, complete replacement. The customer decided to proceed with the work and a survey was arranged to confirm the measurements before the windows and door were manufactured and installed. After the work was completed, they commented: “The new windows and doors are exactly what we had hoped for, and we are very pleased with the installation.” www.sashwindow.com
