With the sash rebated accurately and timbers notched out in the corners, we then drop the double glazed unit into the new opening we created. We then use a custom made glazing bead, which we manufacture ourself to keep the rebate as shallow as possible, and as much depth internally left on the sash.
The only way to tell is the stickers and the nice new looking glint coming from the glass. Taking a look internally you will also notice that the double glazed unit is hidden. Once the double glazing process is completed we will then refit the sash with the draught proofing system. The housing committee at this block were very pleased with the result and will be suggesting this upgrade to all properties in the near future. Typically the largest unit we can install in an original existing sash window is 16mm in depth.
We use Argon cavity filled, Low E, double glazed units. A picture is going to help understand the unit much more clearly:. This unit is of exceptional quality and has not been bettered by Pilkington in around 8 years. In the event your sashes are thick enough to carry this unit the value for money is incredible.
Thinner sashes may require a double glazed unit as slim as 4mm Low E — 4mm Air Gap Argon Filled — 4mm Clear Float 4mm-4mm-4mm , which is not as effective for sound proofing or heat retention as a larger unit 4mm-8mm-4mm , however that said, a normal person will not be able to tell the difference in noise or heating between the two.
If we were to use a fancy dB meter for volume then, the 4mm-4mm-4mm would not be as technically effective as the larger unit 4mm-8mm-4mm , and although the difference would be noted on a U-Value meter for sure — the real heat loss would be unnoticeable on your gas bill.
Double glazing is double glazing after all. This depth will allow a 4mm-6mm-4mm or 4mm-8mm-4mm double glazed unit. To install the double glazed unit neatly, we need to make the sash rebate deeper to hold the glass properly.
Because we do not rebate the internal decorative profile, we do not disturb the mortice and tenon and therefore the structure of the sash remains good. By reducing the external glazing bead to a minimum depth we can minimise the impact structurally on the sash. The end result of double glazing the original existing sash windows is exactly the same as manufacturing sashes of equal depth, only with considerable saving your end and the luxury of retaining your original joinery.
Here is a look at the cross section of the original sash:. To allow for the double glazed unit we must rebate the glazing profile more deeply using a specialised router cutter on a work bench.
We then install the double glazed unit into the deeper rebate and rebuild the window with a draught proofing system. Here is a look at the sash close up after being installed. It clearly needs a little tidying decoration wise but certainly no worse for wear.
To have any idea the sash window is double glazed we need to look inside the sash to see the white space edge of the double glazed unit. Looking at the sash window straight on you would not know this sash window has been double glazed.
Pictured below is a 40mm sash with a Argon filled unit. Similarly this technique can be applied to a more traditional Lambs Tongue profile. Some might argue the finish looks better but please feel free to take a look at the image below and decide for yourself. Please note that this sash window has not been decorated as the client wished to decorate the sashes themselves. This represents an excellent saving if you are DIY capable..

Replacement double glazed sashes making use of the original frame is the second most best solution in terms of cost, and being sympathetic to your period property. We will measure sashes and take note of the original profiles as well as external horns. We will then manufacture wooden double glazed sash windows to match the originals. The service is almost identical to double glazing original existing sash windows with the exception we supply a new sash instead of making use of the original joinery.
There are some added benefits of replacement to note. We can tinker with profile sizes and this allows a much larger sealed unit to be installed. If we were to manufacture a standard 22mm they would of looked chunky and unattractive. The bars in this image are 18mm and though 4mm sounds like an insignificant amount, if manufactured larger would completely changes the aesthetics of this window.
Below is our hand crafted double glazed sash window replica installed into the original frame:. Our double glazed sash windows are built with a solid glazing bar construct inside, and then we laminate the glazing bar externally, giving the overall effect of a sash window that has many panes of glass. We feel this construct gives a better looking, more traditional feel. With the glazing bar taken care of and the glass sight lines accurately replicated, we also try to keep the stiles to an absolute minimum as well, This helps the overall feel of the window and helps maintain that authentic look.
Traditionally, and very typically, these are constructed between 44mm and 50mm. We construct them typically at 53mm so despite providing all the benefits of a modern double glazed sash window, they look almost identical. The only way to tell our windows are actually double glazed is to look inside at the double glazed unit. Do you notice the little circular looking grommet inside the double glazed unit? This is where the Argos gas filling is inserted.
