1. Problem – Heat loss
Do you ever find in the colder months that you are turning up the heating to no avail? There’s a good chance that your windows may be the issue. Heat is looking for a way to escape, and your single glazed windows will be the first place it seems to go.

2. Problem – Condensation
Yes, condensation is only a mild annoyance, but it does give your house a sad, tired look. It also makes it difficult to look out of your windows to enjoy a view or let the light in when you need it the most.
The SashWise solution: Adding a double layer of glass to your home and creates an essential gap between the outside and indoor temperature. Reducing the chance of condensation.
3.Problem – Rattling windows
There is nothing more annoying than the constant rattling of single glazed windows. Every time the wind blows or a truck with a heavy engine drives up your street; it leaves you feeling like you are experiencing a mild earthquake.
The SashWise solution: Professionally fitted windows that sit snugly in their bespoke sash boxes will prevent rattling windows from being a pain point in your life.
4. Problem: Sound disturbance
We live in a world now where life goes on 24/7 and in the crucial hours where we need silence, we can often be disturbed by outside noise. Disturbance can occur even more in densely populated areas such as cities or busy towns.
The SashWise Solution: By adding double glazing to your home, you will experience a far higher standard of silence. Double glazing acts as an excellent insulator towards outside noise. Allowing you to enjoy the quiet that you deserve.
5. Problem: Security
Single glazed windows are easier to break that a double layer of glass. However, what we often find is that with old windows the hardware on the box itself is often old and worn, offering a simple entrance to potential burglars.
The SashWise Solution: Take no chances! While we can’t guarantee a burglar won’t get into your home. We do advise that you take every possible action to deter them. When we fit your new hardwood double glazing, we always finish off with new window hardware, ensuring your windows are as secure as possible.
