MWM Matt Window Mate
Sash Window Draught Proofing in Dowanhill, West End Glasgow
MWM Matt Window Mate was commissioned to install professional draught proofing to six traditional timber sash and case windows in a beautifully restored 19th-century top-floor apartment located in the heart of Dowanhill, West End Glasgow.
Marion and Howard love the apartment’s stunning elevated view over Victoria Crescent Road and were keen to avoid heavy curtains or secondary glazing options that would obstruct the natural light and visual connection to the surrounding architecture. Their goal was clear: improve comfort, reduce draughts and rattles, and retain the elegance and functionality of their original windows.
Improving Comfort Without Compromising the View
As specialists in traditional sash and case windows, MWM Matt Window Mate installed a discreet professional weather-seal draught proofing system, designed to significantly reduce air leakage, external noise and dust ingress, while maintaining smooth sliding operation. This ultra-slim solution is ideal for period properties, helping to control unwanted draughts while still maintaining necessary ventilation that prevents condensation and damp.
The result is a warmer, quieter and more comfortable home — without altering the original aesthetic of the windows or requiring heavy insulating window dressings.
The homeowners were delighted with the transformation. Marion shared:
“Our wish was to eliminate draughts, rattle and dust from tall windows in windy or stormy weather – whilst avoiding the fitting of curtains, since they would restrict the view and light. They can now fully enjoy their beautiful apartment and not be scared of upcoming cold or windy days.”
She continued:
“Matthew and Sylwia provided a first-rate service. They are entirely professional – focused, organised, speedy and prompt when communicating with customers. The result from the work has been excellent. We would certainly use MWM for any future work on windows in our property.”
