Double glazed wooden Sash
Hi all, I am looking to replace my Sash windows with double glazed wooden sashs. I have had various quotes however not many of the companies have worked locally. I am looking at a few options so a price for making and painting and a price for supply and fit (all parts made painted and fitted).
I am NOT interested in plastic windows.
Does anyone know anyone or has used a company?
Cheers

Hi, we had Essential Restorations restore and replace some of our sash windows, though not with double glazing.

Happy with the quality and price so would gladly recommend them.

Watch out for the cost of the weights you will need to balance a double glazed sash. When we replaced our sash windows we had double glazing plans which quickly changed once we had replaced the first window !! [:0]

A lot of modern sash windows use springs now instead of weights. Cheaper I imagine, but perhaps not as "nice"

Not interested in weights, going with spring as there is a lot less that can go wrong. There is also no maintenance with springs. I have had various quotes now, its going to be a hard decision as its a lot of money. Drb, I live in town and there’s quite a lot of people walking through on a Thursday Friday and Saturday. I had originally planned to restore them however I think due to the noise it needs to be double glazed, cheers though.
