Restoring Heritage Charm with Modern Efficiency in Shawlands, Glasgow
The key challenge of this project lay in designing and crafting bespoke double-glazed sash windows that replicated the style and detailing of the originals. This ensured the new windows complemented the property’s traditional aesthetic while meeting contemporary performance standards.
Our team meticulously planned and executed the installation process, taking every care to maintain architectural integrity. Each window was custom-made to match the original design, including bay configurations, semi-circular frames and detailed astragals. Work was completed on schedule with minimal disruption to the homeowner.
The installation delivered a transformative improvement to the property’s performance — reducing heat loss, increasing acoustic comfort and supporting lower energy bills. Importantly, the upgrade preserved the building’s historic charm while enhancing overall comfort and value.
The client was thrilled with the results and praised the professionalism and craftsmanship of the MWM Matt Window Mate team.
“Replaced all windows, double glazed, in original design. First-class workmanship, started on time, finished on time, faultless. I would not hesitate in recommending Matthew.” - Alistair M.
