If you are considering fitting double glazed sash and case windows into your property, it is not always necessary to replace the complete window.

If you already have sash and case windows and your existing casement is in good condition, we can manufacture new sashes to fit exactly into the existing box.

This means there is no need to remove panelling and shuttering and offers considerable savings over complete replacement. The case is carefully renovated, the external pointing is renewed, and the windows are fully draught proofed.

Q. Can I install double glazed sash windows in my property?

A. For grade A listed buildings the answer will generally be no, but for most other properties it is not a problem. A phone call to the local planning authority will clarify this.

The Scotsman (see below) recently reported that the Edinburgh City Council were reviewing the ban on Double Glazing in certain Conservation Areas.
