Upgrading to superior double glazing was necessary for this homeowner due to very cold winters, made worse by chilling draughts from the single glazed timber windows.  They were interested in moving to aluminium windows, but their home was one of a number of character homes in their street, so retaining the street appeal was paramount.

The team at Glasswise took the time to walk through the retroGLAZE® solutions available and explained the benefits of both retrofitting the existing timber windows and installing insert windows. They even went so far as to take the customer to another local home where
they had installed inserts into existing timber frames previously.

The integration of timber retrofit and insert windows with high-performing double glazing showcases a successful combination of historic preservation and modern comfort, resulting in a beautifully transformed home.
