📞 Considering Double Glazing for Your Sash Windows?
If you own a period property and would like to improve comfort without losing character, Brown’s Sash Windows Restorations is happy to help.
See how Brown’s upgraded existing sash windows with slimline double glazing at a traditional farmhouse in Austerfield, South Yorkshire.
Their priorities included:
The owners wanted to retain the charm and character of their period property while reducing draughts and improving insulation throughout the home.
After carefully assessing the condition of the windows, we recommended upgrading the existing sashes with discreet slimline double glazing.
This approach allows homeowners to benefit from modern performance while preserving the original timber frames and proportions.
Our work included:
carefully removing and preparing the existing sashes
installing slimline double glazed units
ensuring proper balance and smooth operation
checking each window for reliable and quiet movement
All work was carried out with care to ensure the original character of the farmhouse was maintained.
Once complete, the farmhouse immediately benefited from improved comfort and energy efficiency while keeping the traditional sash window appearance.
The homeowner now enjoys:
warmer rooms throughout the property
reduced draughts around the windows
improved insulation during winter
preservation of the farmhouse’s original character
Projects like this demonstrate how existing sash windows can often be sympathetically upgraded rather than replaced.
