Energy-Efficient Wooden Windows and Doors

    Period properties are often seen as being more prone to draughts and having higher energy bills. However, providing planning permissions allow it, there is no reason why they can’t benefit from double-glazing while also retaining their traditional character.

    The Sash Window Workshop specialises in high-quality timber windows and doors that are designed to improve energy efficiency while complementing the architectural style of the building.

    The company has extensive experience working on a wide range of renovation and extension projects for both homeowners and the trade. They offer a supply-only service nationwide with an installation service across London and Southern England.

    The Sash Window Workshop was contacted to work on a project to improve the energy efficiency of a period property in Berkshire.

    The customer was looking for a company who could manufacture and install new double-glazed windows that were sympathetic to the period of the property and made on a like-for-like basis.

    The sales surveyor visited the property to assess the condition of the existing windows. The frames were still in a good condition, so a quote was provided to just replace the sashes (the moving parts of the window).

    The customer also decided to visit the company to see firsthand how timber windows and doors are manufactured in their workshops and the attention to detail that goes into making all their products.

    After visiting the premises, the customer decided to proceed. Once the specification was confirmed, the windows were manufactured and installed by The Sash Window Workshop. In total, work was carried out on 39 windows, with a mixture of new casement and sash windows.

    After the work was completed, the customer commented that “the windows look great”.

    High quality timber windows and doors

    The Sash Window Workshop manufactures all their new joinery in-house at their premises in Berkshire. This allows them to ensure that all the windows and doors conform to their high standards with extensive quality checks taking place throughout the manufacturing process.

    The materials selected are chosen to give the best possible performance combining minimum maintenance with maximum lifespan. The company uses Accoya as standard, which is a sustainably sourced timber known for its stability, durability, and thermal efficiency. Accoya also comes with a 50-year anti-rot guarantee.

    The majority of the windows and doors that The Sash Window Workshop manufactures are double glazed, designed to enhance both the look and feel of the property. The company uses low-E glass to further improve energy efficiency and can also use FINEO glass, if required.

    They have previously worked on a wide variety of period properties, including Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian buildings. Where necessary, they can comply with listed building or Conservation Area requirements, including manufacturing single-glazed or heritage-glazed windows and doors.

    The Sash Window Workshop understands the importance of providing a high-quality product and excellent customer service, reflected in the fact that approximately half of their orders are from previous customers and recommendations.

    The company is FENSA registered, FSC certified, and Safe Contractor accredited. They will work with you to meet your requirements and understand the importance of completing the work on-time, helping you to ensure that project deadlines are met.
