Window encapsulation plays an important role when upgrading period windows, especially where clients want to introduce double glazing without losing the original character of the property. When clients upgrade to double glazed sashes, it’s important to maintain the original character of the property. Our Window Encapsulation service ensures that traditional features — such as lead designs or decorative glazing — are carefully preserved or replicated within the new double glazed units.
We have extensive experience carrying out window encapsulation on both sash and casement windows, helping homeowners retain the heritage look of their property while improving energy efficiency. In some cases, clients even design their own stained glass, which we then encapsulate into a double glazed unit once the manufacturing sizes for the new sashes or replacement windows have been confirmed. By carefully incorporating stained or decorative glass into new units, it is often possible to retain the traditional appearance of stained glass sash windows while making them more practical for modern living.
We carry out re-glazing work on a variety of glass types as required by the customer or by Building Regulations. For instance, we can replace damaged single glazing with a reclaimed glass of a similar type or use 4mm float glass. We can provide frosted glass from a variety of suppliers to try and match the clients’ existing pattern and we can provide laminated or toughened glass to windows where requested or required.
We can supply new sashes to match original profiles exactly with double glazed units fitted in them. These can be toughened, leaded or patterned as required.
