Replicating Original Design for Energy-Efficient Timber Sash and Case Windows in Pollokshields, Glasgow
Nestled in the heart of Pollokshields, this elegant upper conversion apartment exudes period charm while now benefiting from discreet modern comfort. The homeowners wanted to preserve the character of their Victorian flat while upgrading the original single glazed windows to bespoke double glazed timber sash and case windows, improving warmth, quietness and efficiency without losing the home’s heritage feel.
The existing windows suffered from typical age related issues such as draughts, condensation and street noise. The main goal was to upgrade to energy efficient sash and case windows that would improve insulation, reduce heat loss, retain the period aesthetic and respect the heritage character within this Pollokshields conservation setting.
Our Bespoke Timber Window Upgrade
At MWM Matt Window Mate, we carefully planned every stage of the project to deliver a solution that balanced performance with authenticity. Our team designed, manufactured and installed bespoke double glazed timber windows that replicated the original Victorian profiles. Each unit was handcrafted for thermal performance, acoustic comfort and architectural accuracy, ensuring the new windows harmonised seamlessly with the property’s traditional style.
The completed installation has transformed the home, giving it an authentic appearance with noticeably better insulation and reduced noise. The new energy efficient sash and case windows enhance comfort while preserving the timeless character of Pollokshields architecture.
The homeowners were delighted with the result and shared their experience:
"We highly recommend Matt Windows. Matt has replaced all our 16 windows over three different phases. Matt is very dependable, gives good advice and does a truly professional job with the minimum of disruption and mess. We are delighted with our windows and are enjoying a much warmer house.”
