01

Why choose double glazing for your period home?

Standard modern double glazing is often too thick to fit into traditional timber sash frames, which can result in bulky sightlines that ruin the appearance of Victorian or Georgian windows. Our double-glazed units are specifically designed for heritage buildings. They feature low-emissivity glass and argon-filled cavities, providing excellent thermal efficiency while maintaining the authentic profile of your original timber bars. This approach allows you to upgrade your windows while remaining sympathetic to the architectural style of your home.

02

How we improve thermal performance and comfort

Beyond upgrading the glass, our restoration process includes thorough draught-proofing to tackle the persistent problem of heat loss. We machine hidden brush seals into your new parting and staff beads, creating a continuous seal around the sash perimeter. This eliminates cold draughts and annoying rattles, ensuring your windows glide smoothly as intended. By combining double-glazed units with precise draught exclusion, we transform old, energy-draining sashes into highly efficient windows that keep your rooms comfortable throughout the year.

03

Conservation and planning considerations in Borehamwood

Many period homes in the Borehamwood and Hertsmere area are located within conservation zones where external alterations are strictly monitored. Because we focus on repairing and upgrading your existing box frames using bespoke timber joinery, our methods are often the preferred choice for property owners facing planning constraints. By keeping the original frames and only updating the glazing and internal components, we help you meet modern energy standards while respecting the strict aesthetic requirements of local authorities.

04

Our commitment to quality and craftsmanship

Every project we undertake is managed with attention to detail, from the initial assessment to the final finish. As a FENSA-registered specialist, we provide a 10-year guarantee on all our new bespoke timber installations, giving you complete peace of mind. We maintain a focus on durability, using seasoned timber and robust joinery techniques to ensure your sash windows stand the test of time. Our goal is to provide a clean, professional, and reliable service that restores both the performance and the value of your period property.

"We are very happy with Eden Joinery's work: we had a completely new sash fitted, and four sashes fitted into our existing frames. Our windows look fantastic - and no more draughts! Terry and son were courteous, tidy, with competitive rates, and took obvious pride in their work. They went the extra mile to fix a problem with one of our frames, and all windows were finished to a high standard. We would not hesitate to recommend them."

Double Glazing & Restoration Guidance

Frequently Asked Questions

Practical guidance from Charlie Burgess on upgrading your timber sashes with double glazing, satisfying conservation standards, and draught-proofing period homes across South London.

Can you double glaze my existing original sash boxes?

+

In many cases, yes. If your original box frames are in good structural condition, we can manufacture new timber sashes fitted with double glazing that sit directly into the existing frames. This avoids the need for major structural work and preserves your interior architraves and plasterwork. During the survey, Charlie will check for any rot in the sills or pulley stiles that may need splicing before the new sashes are fitted.

Will I need planning permission for double glazing in a conservation area?

+

Like-for-like timber repairs often do not require formal planning permission, but installing double glazing in a conservation area or a listed building can be more complex. Many councils in Wandsworth, Lambeth, and Richmond now look favourably on timber units that match the original profiles. We can advise you on the specific requirements for your local authority to ensure your upgrade is compliant.

How much of a difference does draught proofing make?

+

Draught proofing is one of the most cost-effective ways to improve a period home. By installing hidden brush seals, we close the gaps that allow heat to escape and cold air to whistle through. When combined with our double glazing, it can significantly lower your heating bills and almost entirely eliminate the rattles common with older Victorian windows.

What is the benefit of double-glazed units over standard double glazing?

+

Standard double-glazed units are typically 20mm to 24mm thick, which requires very chunky timber frames that look out of place on a period property. Our double-glazed units use advanced thermal technology to provide similar insulation levels in a much thinner profile. This allows us to maintain the authentic "sightlines" of your windows, ensuring they look like the original single-glazed sashes while providing modern A-rated thermal performance.

How long does the installation process take?

+

The timeline depends on the number of windows, but a standard room can often be completed in a day or two. We work cleanly and efficiently, ensuring your home is secure at the end of every working day. Because we are based in Battersea, we are local to South West London and Surrey, which allows us to manage logistics and site visits effectively without long delays.
