Our unique approach to sash window draught proofing and renovations
For many window companies, period homes are a challenge to work with. Quick fixes and workaround solutions are often used when it comes to sash window renovations, often due to a lack of specialisation in the field. At Oxford Sash Window Co. Ltd, we know that installing inappropriate windows has the potential to not only alter your home’s well-loved charm but also to decimate a property’s resale value.
For that reason, we are dedicated to providing bespoke sash window renovations that conserve your window’s original features – alternatively, we can create new, custom-designed components to replicate the original features to an exacting degree. As the leading specialists in sash window renovations, you can trust us to renovate and draught proof your windows until they operate like a dream, with that same beautiful and distinct charm that caused you to fall in love with your home.
