Project Overview

A period detached house in St Albans required a full set of replacement windows. The existing timber frames were rotting, draughty, and single-glazed, detracting from the property’s traditional charm. The homeowners wanted a classic, elegant solution that would combine modern performance with timeless aesthetics. The goal was to install white uPVC casement windows featuring gold/brass handles to add a touch of sophistication and complement the property’s period character.

Our Solution

We supplied and installed high-performance white uPVC casement windows throughout the property, finished with premium brass-effect handles. The solution included:

  • White uPVC casement windows with side-hung openings and concealed friction hinges
  • A-rated double glazing with argon gas fill and low-E coating for superior insulation
  • Premium brass/gold-effect handles for an elegant, traditional finish
  • Multi-point locking systems with anti-snap cylinders
  • Trickle vents to reduce condensation and improve indoor air quality
  • Georgian bar inserts on front-facing windows to retain period character
  • Reinforced frames for added strength and durability
  • Matching white sills, trims, and hardware for a seamless finish

Installation Process

  • Carried out pre-installation survey with laser measurements for each opening
  • Removed old timber windows carefully to preserve brickwork and internal plaster
  • Disposed of all waste materials responsibly
  • Inspected and prepared lintels, reveals, and sills
  • Installed new uPVC frames using galvanised fixings and expanding foam
  • Fitted double-glazed sealed units into each frame
  • Applied internal and external silicone seals for full weatherproofing
  • Adjusted all hinges and locking mechanisms for smooth operation
  • Fitted brass-effect handles and tested all locks
  • Cleaned all glass, frames, sills, and surrounding areas thoroughly
  • Conducted final walkthrough to confirm satisfaction
