Sash windows are a classic feature on many period properties but these windows are not without their challenges, those weights and pulleys are always tricky to manage. Sash windows are known to be temperamental and also not so good at blocking out draughts and noise. Many homeowners think they are not a candidate for double glazing without spoiling them but it is possible to enjoy the benefits of double glazing for historic sash windows on your character Stevenage home. Replacing single glazing with slim vacuum sealed double glazed units without changing historic windows is finally possible thanks to high-tech Fineo glass.
