Keeping Old Character
After a winter of dealing with draughts, we’ve decided to upgrade the windows in our old family house. The original timber details are too nice to lose, so generic modern glazing isn’t appealing. Our joiner mentioned bespoke glass, and I’d really appreciate recommendations for sealed units and bespoke glass examples from similar restorations.

Completely get where you're coming from, we went through the same thing last winter when our 1920s house was basically an ice rink and every window whistled. The original timber details are what made us buy the place in the first place, so the idea of ripping them out for generic modern units felt like losing the whole point of owning an old house. Our joiner mentioned bespoke glass and we were initially sceptical until we checked out about our glass company to understand their process properly. Seeing they manufacture heritage slim units in-house from their Uxbridge workshop (12mm sightlines, slim cavities) rather than just reselling standard double glazing made it clear they understood period properties. They sent over examples of similar restoration projects with original timber frames, which gave us confidence before committing. Now we've got proper thermal performance without losing any character, and the draughts are genuinely gone. If you're researching before your meeting, understanding who actually manufactures bespoke solutions in-house versus who just quotes off standard sizes makes all the difference to getting something that preserves your original details properly.
