The owners of this Edwardian home on a busy road wanted our Renovate and Sash Replacement Service to benefit from double glazing. As the road is a major route into Cambridge, we sourced a 6.8 laminate glass for for the external face that offered an additional sound reduction of 6 decibels.
The work
- We provided double-glazed replacement hardwood sashes for the sliding-sash windows, housing a conservation-approved double-glazed unit with laminate glass
- The boxes and sills were repaired and sections replaced where necessary
- A memory-foam seal was routed into the perimeter of the sashes and across the mid rail for draught- and noise-proofing
- We decorated all the windows, which we fitted with heritage lockable fitches and sash lifts to complete the upgrade
