Beautifully Crafted Double-Glazed Timber Sash Windows for a Family Home in Pollokshields, Glasgow | MWM Matt Window Mate
With rising heating costs and growing interest in sustainable heritage renovation, many homeowners are searching for ways to significantly improve thermal performance without compromising the character of their period properties. At this beautiful sandstone villa in the popular Southside area of Pollokshields, Glasgow, the homeowners asked MWM Matt Window Mate to replace twenty ageing single-glazed sash windows that were causing draughts, condensation and unnecessary heat loss.
Our goal was to install energy-efficient double-glazed timber sash and case windows that would preserve the property’s traditional appearance while enhancing comfort, warmth and security.
Heritage Sensitive Energy Upgrade with Long-Lasting Performance
We carried out a full replacement of the property’s ageing single-glazed sash windows with made-to-measure, double-glazed timber sash and case windows designed to precisely match the original profiles and elegant sightlines of this traditional Pollokshields home.
Each window was fitted with energy-efficient argon-filled glazing to reduce heat loss, improve insulation and enhance acoustic comfort, solving issues with draughts and condensation while significantly increasing warmth throughout the house. Traditional brass hardware and high-quality Farrow & Ball paint provide an authentic period finish, preserving the architectural character of the property while delivering a secure, smooth-operating and beautifully refined result.
The transformation has enhanced both the comfort and visual appeal of the home, offering improved energy efficiency, quieter living spaces and increased long-term value without compromising heritage charm.
