To address heat loss, condensation and road noise, bespoke secondary glazing was installed in a Grade II listed Arts and Crafts home located within the Peak District National Park. The design incorporated acoustic glass within double-glazed units to reduce noise pollution, while a warm wood stain ensured the new units harmonized perfectly with the home’s Georgian-style aesthetic.
In compliance with the property’s listed status, the original single-glazed casement windows remained intact, and the secondary glazing design included easy access for cleaning the stone mullions and historic window frames.
Delighted with the results, the homeowners plan to install additional secondary glazing throughout the house to enhance comfort and functionality further.
This Grade II listed Cheshire farmhouse underwent extensive renovations to enhance energy efficiency while preserving its historical charm.
In line with the property’s listing regulations, GBS was tasked with designing and producing traditional sliding sash windows that seamlessly complemented the farmhouse’s timeless style.
GBS’s expert in-house team managed every step of the process, from crafting the bespoke timber windows and doors to applying a heritage-inspired paint finish and fitting high-quality accessories.
All work was completed at the GBS factory, ensuring meticulous attention to detail and exceptional craftsmanship throughout.
GBS Joinery was proud to contribute to the rebuilding of this elegant property in the conservation area of Henley-on-Thames.
From the outset, the team provided expert advice on selecting the ideal window finish to enhance the property’s new architectural design, ensuring a seamless blend of style and functionality.
The in-house design and production teams meticulously crafted flush casement windows, French doors, and a stunning front entrance door using premium Accoya wood.
This bespoke approach resulted in beautifully designed timber features that perfectly complement the property’s traditional aesthetic.
GBS installed replacement High-Performance Flush-Fit Casement Windows to this Grade II listed thatched cottage.
We were required to enhance the property’s original character, which we achieved by crafting the windows from hardwood and double-glazing throughout with energy-efficient Planitherm glass.
The casements were fitted with integral multi-point locks and the paint-finish was completed in our GBS factory.
The double-boarded insulated core door is fitted with a high-security integral multipoint lock and double-glazed with the customer’s designed stained glass.
We stained the finish in-house at our GBS factory.
Softwood windows, unless cared for and treated regularly, can weather quickly.
We replaced this barn conversion’s original softwood windows throughout the property with new high-quality hardwood.
To achieve the required energy efficiency standards rating, we used high-performance Planitherm Glass and double-glazed all windows.
