Before and After
New Accoya Sash Window Installation in Barnes
Project Overview
Recently, a period property in the heart of Barnes, London, underwent a stunning transformation with the installation of several brand-new Accoya double-glazed sash windows. The homeowners, keen to preserve the charm of their traditional Victorian home while improving energy efficiency and comfort, turned to Accoya—a sustainably sourced, high-performance timber known for its durability and low maintenance needs.
Before the Installation:
The original sash windows, while charming, were showing clear signs of age. The frames were deteriorating, leading to drafts and poor insulation. Loose sashes allowed heat to escape, making the home cold in the winter and noisy year-round. The homeowners were eager to find a solution that would retain the character of the property but significantly improve its energy efficiency and overall comfort.
The Transformation:
Working with our team of skilled installers, the homeowners chose Accoya wood for its outstanding weather resistance and longevity. Accoya’s double-glazed sash windows offer all the benefits of modern glazing technology without compromising the traditional aesthetic. Each window was custom-made to match the original profiles, ensuring a seamless fit within the property’s historical style.
The result? A dramatic improvement in insulation, reduced noise from the busy streets of Barnes, and a much warmer home. The new sash windows were also finished with a sleek, durable paint that will require far less maintenance over time.
This installation in Barnes demonstrates how modern materials like Accoya can be paired with traditional designs to enhance the performance and beauty of period homes. The homeowners now enjoy a quieter, warmer, and more energy-efficient space, all while preserving the original charm that makes their property so special.
