Restoring Heritage Charm with Modern Efficiency in Shawlands, Glasgow

MWM Matt Window Mate recently undertook the replacement of sash windows in a historic property located in Shawlands, Glasgow. This picturesque neighbourhood is celebrated for its Victorian and Edwardian architectural heritage, making it imperative to preserve the property’s original character while integrating modern energy-efficient features.

 

The key challenge of this project lay in designing and crafting bespoke double-glazed sash windows that replicated the style and detail of the original ones. It was essential to ensure that the new windows complemented the property’s historic aesthetic while meeting contemporary performance standards.

 

Our team meticulously planned and executed the installation process, taking every care to maintain the structural integrity and architectural character of the property. Each window was custom-made to match the original design, including bay windows, semi-circular frames, and intricate astragals. The work was carried out efficiently and with minimal disruption to the client’s daily routine, and the project was completed on schedule.

The installation of double-glazed sash windows had a transformative impact on the property. The thermal insulation of the home was significantly improved, reducing heat loss and lowering the client’s energy bills. Equally important, the new windows preserved the building’s historic charm, maintaining its aesthetic integrity and enhancing its overall value.

 

MWM Matt Window Mate replaced traditional sash windows in this historic Shawlands property, blending energy efficiency with heritage preservation. Bespoke double-glazed sash windows, including bay designs and semi-circular frames with astragals, maintained the home’s charm while improving insulation and reducing energy costs. This project highlights our expertise in restoring and upgrading period windows for modern performance.

 

The client was thrilled with the results and commended the professionalism and craftsmanship demonstrated by our team. Alistair, the homeowner, expressed his satisfaction, stating:

"Replaced all windows, double glazed, in original design. First-class workmanship, started on time, finished on time, faultless. I would not hesitate in recommending Matthew."

 

This project showcases MWM Matt Window Mate’s ability to balance the demands of modern functionality with historic preservation. By enhancing the energy efficiency of the property without compromising its architectural heritage, we ensured the home continues to contribute to Shawlands' rich architectural legacy.
