Slimline Heritage Double glazing & Sash replacements

While PVC-u double glazed companies will try to convince you that putting plastic windows in to your property has many benefits and is more cost effect they will fail to give you all the facts because they have their own agenda, winning your custom.

If your project involves replacing your current windows so that you can enjoy the benefits of double-glazing Avon Sash Repairs can help here too.

In some circumstances we can fit Heritage Slimline Double-Glazed units directly into your current windows, if they are suitable. If not, we can replace the sashes to allow for Heritage Double-Glazed units to be incorporated.

During this process we will also renovate the sash box (window frame) and sill so you are left with a beautiful and significantly improved timber window still fit for your period property while also benefiting from Heritage Slimline Double-Glazed units.

The benefits of installing Heritage Double Glazed units while retaining as much of your current window as possible include, protecting the character of your period property, preserving its architectural heritage, benefiting from increased energy efficiency without any loss of property value.

Consider loss of property value before ripping out the character windows from your period home for a truer reflection of how much cheaper PVC-u windows are to install.

According to Historic England ‘The loss of traditional windows from our older buildings poses one of the major threats to our heritage.’ You can get more information at Historic England.

Conservation Area & Listed Buildings

Many of the properties in Leamington Spa are situated within the conservation area or have listed building status.

If your house is listed or in a conservation area with an Article 4 Direction, you are likely to require planning consent to replace or make any alterations to windows, whereas like-for-like repairs do not usually require any consent.

We can offer advice on this issue and liaise with homeowners, architects, project managers and planning departments if required. For further information follow click here.
