Background
Zoe Butterworth, a homeowner with a penchant for stylish interior decoration, had transformed her residence in Ringwood into a stunning property. However, the tired and single-glazed box sash windows were not in harmony with the overall aesthetic of her beautifully decorated home. Seeking a solution that would enhance both the appearance and energy efficiency of her property, Zoe approached Tailored Wood, known for their personalised window restoration services.
Client's Challenge
Zoe’s existing box sash windows were showing signs of wear, and the single-glazed units no longer met her expectations for comfort and energy efficiency. Due to the high standard of interior decoration throughout the property, this would have to be achieved with minimal disruption.
Our Approach
Tailored Wood’s approach to window restoration is tailored to the unique needs of each client, with three distinct levels of works based on the condition of the windows. For Zoe’s project, Tailored Wood proposed a restoration that involved refurbishing the existing box frames and replacing the existing sashes with fully finished, hardwood sashes featuring slimline heritage double-glazed units and concealed routed-in draft proofing.
This approach allowed for the introduction of modern features without disrupting the fabric of the house, aligning with Zoe’s vision for a warmer and more energy-efficient home.
