This grade 2 listed dwelling is in a prominent position in the High Street of Old Eston Village. The challenge was to provide both thermal and acoustic insulation whilst maintaining the historic features and character of this important building.
The dwelling is very close to the High Street and opposite a public house. Noise was a big problem for the residents and the existing single glazed windows offered little insulation from the traffic and pedestrian noise. The property suffered from terrific heat loss from the draughty single glazed frames.
In consultation with the local planning department, ERW designed a Yorkshire sliding window double glazed with 8.8 mm stadip acoustic glass to the outer pane, with a 4 mm warm edge spacer bar, argon filled cavity and 4 mm low E coated inner pane of glass.
The wood windows were factory decorated in Heritage cream finish to replicate the historic colours of the existing frames.

Our whole experience with ERW joiners has been absolutely first class. Our first meeting was a showroom appointment with Stuart Wall, I personally loved the showroom straightaway, the colours of the sample doors blew me away.
To the skilled craftsmen of joiners who made our front door, who we have not met, but who we will forever be grateful too – their craftsmanship is beyond compare – thank you so very much.

All your staff are very friendly, polite & efficient. We are really please with our new windows (no draught & a lot quieter). They look very smart & in keeping with our old house.
Mr & Mrs B, Stokesley
We had our door fitted yesterday and we are thrilled with it!!
Thank you so much for all your help with the design process. We felt very well supported with this major purchase. You guided us sensitively and listened to what we wanted. And now we have our design and are very happy indeed
Mr & Mrs Robinson, Stockton
