Renovation and Draught Proofing

Installing double glazing is an important and cost-effective way to reduce your carbon footprint. Unlike single-glazed windows, no excess heat is able to escape through double glazing, helping you to conserve energy and reduce your utility bills. While many companies are qualified to offer double glazing for modern windows, period window repairs require a highly specialised level of knowledge and a wealth of experience that not all window installers possess.

At Sash Industry, we have been installing double glazing and offering Georgian window renovations for all grades of Listed Buildings for over a quarter of a century. For faultless craftsmanship, specialist knowledge and a dedication to energy conservation, put your trust in an established company.

For many window companies, period homes are a challenge to work with. Quick fixes and workaround solutions are often used when it comes to sash window renovations, often due to a lack of specialisation in the field. At Sash Industry, we know that installing inappropriate windows has the potential to not only alter your home’s well-loved charm but also to decimate a property’s resale value.

For that reason, we are dedicated to providing bespoke sash window renovations that conserve your window’s original features – alternatively, we can create new, custom-designed components to replicate the original features to an exacting degree. As the leading specialists in sash window renovations, you can trust us to renovate and draught proof your windows until they operate like a dream, with that same beautiful and distinct charm that caused you to fall in love with your home.

With our professional Sash Window Draft Proofing Service (SWDS), we ensure that your existing sash windows glide freely and smoothly – dramatically reducing heat loss, noise levels, rattles and draughts while improving the functionality of the window itself.

What does the Sash Window Draught Proofing Service involve?

• Our trained sash window experts release both sashes and remove them to begin work
• If required, the sashes are shaved to ensure a snug fit in their frames
• The edges of the sashes are eased and waxed
• Replacement timber parting beads are fitted, which run between the sliding sashes
• Replacement timber parting beads are also fitted across the box-frame head behind the top sash
• A draught proofing strip is fitted across the meeting rails
• If the sashes are not balanced correctly, additional weights are fitted where necessary
• The sashes are re-hung on a waxed sash cord

While renovating, we can also install quality:

• Fasteners (Brighton, Quadrant, Beehive, Fitch)
• Stays
• Lifting handles
• Pull downs
• Restrictors / security locks
• Replacement glazing (Victorian Sheet, Float, Safety, Audioscreen)
