New Timber Sash Windows for an Elegant Victorian Townhouse | Hyndland, Glasgow West End
Located in the peaceful residential setting of Hyndland in Glasgow’s West End, this beautiful blonde sandstone upper-conversion — built circa 1881 by renowned architects H&D Barclay — retains exceptional period charm and architectural character. The homeowners wished to resolve issues caused by ageing single-glazed sash windows, including draughts, condensation and heat loss, while maintaining the traditional Victorian appearance of their home within this conservation-area setting.
At MWM Matt Window Mate, we carefully planned every stage of the project, providing expert technical guidance and a tailored specification to improve thermal performance without compromising heritage detail. We designed and handcrafted new bespoke double-glazed timber sash and case windows to replicate the original profiles and sightlines, ensuring a seamless like-for-like aesthetic.
Each window was finished with high-quality Farrow & Ball paint in “All White” and fitted with traditional brass hardware, complementing the property’s interior styling and period joinery.
Heritage Window Upgrade with Modern Double-Glazing Performance
This sensitive upgrade has delivered outstanding improvements in comfort, energy performance and visual quality. The new double-glazed sash windows provide significantly better insulation, reduced heat loss and a quieter living environment, while enhancing kerb appeal and preserving the home’s historic Victorian elegance. The finished installation blends modern efficiency with traditional craftsmanship, adding long-lasting value to the property and supporting conservation-appropriate replacement in one of Glasgow’s most desirable heritage neighbourhoods.
Tricia, the homeowner, shared her experience:
“The difference in terms of warmth in my rooms, noise reduction and the overall appearance is brilliant. I’m so delighted with my new sash windows. Wish I’d done it years ago — they made it very straightforward. I’ve been very impressed by Matt and his team.”
