Sash windows in Potters Bar

The housing in Potters Bar is largely 1930s bay-fronted semis, post-war detached houses, bungalows and flats. Some 1920s houses have sash windows alongside bays, so note whether the bay sashes slide or are fixed before deciding how closely to match the original arrangement.

Newer homes built in a traditional style sometimes have mock sashes, and genuine sliding sashes can replace them where you want a more authentic opening action. On larger period houses with many sashes, prioritise the most draughty or damaged windows first, and record the glazing bar layouts so later phases match exactly.

Between the M25, the A1(M) and the East Coast Main Line, road and rail noise is an issue for some streets, and acoustic glass helps. Potters Bar falls under Hertsmere Borough Council; most replacements need no planning permission, but we check for flats and listed buildings. The town is about 8.2 miles from our factory.

Sliding sash windows open vertically and give period homes their familiar look, with balanced sashes, horns and glazing bars. We make replacement sash windows to match original proportions, suiting owners of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties who want better insulation and security without losing traditional character.

• Traditional look with modern weather sealing
