Air leakage is often the first comfort problem

Loose or worn sash windows can rattle and leak air around the perimeter. Accurate fit and appropriate draught proofing can make a significant difference to everyday comfort.

Glass is only one part of acoustic performance

Acoustic-focused glazing may help in noisier locations, but frame fit, seals and installation quality also matter. The complete opening should be treated as a system.

Warmth without bulky profiles

Improved glazing and perimeter sealing can reduce cold surfaces and draughts while keeping traditional proportions visually convincing.

Survey the actual problem

Street noise, exposure and the condition of the existing frames differ from house to house. A survey helps determine whether repair, glazing changes or full replacement is the most proportionate response.
