Sash Window Double Glazing in Austerfield Farmhouse

Their priorities included:

• improving warmth during colder months
• reducing draughts around the windows
• maintaining the traditional appearance of the farmhouse
• avoiding modern replacements that would alter the property’s character

The owners wanted to retain the charm and character of their period property while reducing draughts and improving insulation throughout the home.

The Solution: Slimline Double Glazing

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.

The Result

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.
