MWM Matt Window Mate
Sash Window Renovation in the Heart of Finnieston, Glasgow
MWM Matt Window Mate was commissioned to complete the restoration of a beautiful set of Georgian timber sash windows in the bustling and highly desirable area of Finnieston, Glasgow. Known for its unique architectural charm, Finnieston is celebrated for its historic tenement buildings, many of which still retain their original sash and case windows.
The sash windows in this property are a striking example of Georgian design, featuring the distinctive six-over-six glazing grid pattern on both the top and bottom sashes — instantly evoking the period style and elegance of the era.
However, like many original windows in older Glasgow properties, these sashes had fallen into poor condition, suffering from draughts, rattling, heat loss and areas of rot, together with the expected operational difficulties caused by ageing mechanisms and layers of historic paint.
Specialist Renovation and Performance Upgrade
The homeowner was determined to retain the original character and craftsmanship rather than replace the windows, but wanted to dramatically improve comfort, warmth and usability. Our specialist renovation and performance upgrade service restored the windows to full working condition, eliminating draughts and rattles, improving thermal performance and providing smooth daily operation.
Using our expert restoration approach, we addressed all timber repairs, treated affected areas, and installed our professional draught-proofing system to improve insulation and reduce energy loss. The result is a beautifully restored set of original windows that now perform to modern standards while retaining their authentic period appearance.
The homeowner was delighted with the transformation, sharing:
“The windows were in really bad condition and they look like new now.”
This high-quality restoration was completed within the requested timeline and immediately attracted interest from neighbouring residents who admired the results.
Preserving Heritage With Craftsmanship
Timber sash windows embody the charm and architecture of period properties, which is why we are passionate about preserving their character wherever possible. We believe that real wood offers an irreplaceable warmth and aesthetic that brings history to life, and we are committed to ensuring traditional windows continue to perform at their very best.
If you have a project in mind, please get in touch — we would be to help.
The challenge of retaining original period features whilst also improving thermal efficiency of the windows is something we can always assist with
