New Double-Glazed Timber Sash Windows for a Stunning Period Home in Newlands, Glasgow | MWM Matt Window Mate
Located in the heart of Newlands in Glasgow’s Southside, this spectacular blonde sandstone mid-terrace villa is rich in period character while benefiting from modern family-living conveniences. The homeowners asked MWM Matt Window Mate to replace their original single-glazed sash windows, which had become draughty, noisy and inefficient, while ensuring the new windows remained faithful to the property’s traditional Georgian-style appearance.
Transforming Performance While Preserving Character
We carried out a full replacement of the original front-elevation windows with made-to-measure, double-glazed timber sash and case units, designed to replicate every detail of the existing windows — including ventlocks, traditional profiles and slender sash bars. The new windows were finished in Farrow & Ball paint for a beautifully refined finish, and fitted with modern chrome hardware for a subtle contemporary touch.
This upgrade has transformed comfort within the home, significantly reducing draughts, external noise and heat loss while ensuring an elegant like-for-like aesthetic that complements the blonde sandstone façade. Upper-level windows were supplied with an easy-clean system, giving the homeowners effortless maintenance without compromising heritage authenticity. The installation was carried out efficiently, with minimal disruption and immaculate attention to detail throughout.
“Our windows look exactly like the old ones but with all the advantages of double glazing and draught-proofing. We are more than delighted with our new replacement windows. Our neighbours were so impressed they have asked Matthew to do their windows too — a great job, thank you!”
— Linda, Newlands
