If you're reading this you are probably living in a period house and you might be unsure as how to proceed in replacing your windows.  In keeping with the demand for improved insulation from both user and Building Regulations points of view the path to energy efficient  period windows lies with your local planning authorities 'default process' that gives allowance for period properties. We therefore consult directly with your local planning and building control office to ensure our installations meet the correct standards for your period house.

  Much has been done by us and others in this specialised field to improve the thermal and acoustic properties of replacement copy period windows.  A keenness for preserving period authenticity with all its charm and a widely accepted view that period property is valued higher when original features are intact is a given. However any effort to improve insulation is to be encouraged both for your own living comforts and our shared ecology.

  When considering renewing your windows please bear in mind that 'part' replacement, ie. keeping and renovating your main framework, that which is generally made from more substantial timber members than the sashes and simply renewing those glazed sliding sashes is generally considered as best practice and is un-regulated by Building Regs.


  We are keen to advise on what may best work for your period property. You can also follow this link to a video produced by English Heritage. A sympathetic yet authentic view. A view we share.
