When all the best components are used, triple-glazing is the most efficient glazing option offered today, but often not available to a listed or conservation protected property where the look of the property could be compromised with such an addition. That is why we have developed a solution to offer customers the best of both worlds. We can do this by maintaining the existing leaded or stained glass and incorporating it into a thermally efficient triple-glazed encapsulated unit.
The process involves simply removing the original glass from the property and cleaning, re-edging and overhauling it to replace any damaged areas. The glass can also be resized.

I remember visiting your showroom and saying that I wish my windows could be as good as the ones on your display and they are! I am absolutely delighted with them. They have transformed the front of my house. All installation staff involved were extremely polite and professional in their approach. They treated my home with respect and ensured that they cleaned thoroughly after. Please pass on my thanks to them for the quality of work they have done. It has been much admired by so many people, so I will not hesitate to recommend your firm in the future.
