TRC specialises in the replacement of glass and the replacement of sashes with upgraded glass to existing sash and casement windows that causes minimum disruption.

We have the following solutions

1 Solution 1

Solution 1 - Heritage Range

We replace the existing glass within the existing sashes, or we replace the sashes with new glass which can be made from Softwood, Hardwood or Accoya. This option typically achieves a U-value of 1.9 with slim double glazed units incorporating Krypton Gas, and can be manufactured with heritage, laminated or toughened glass.
2 Solution 2

Solution 2 - Traditional Range

We replace the sashes with new glass which can be made from Softwood, Hardwood or Accoya. This option typically achieves a U-value of 1.4 with standard double-glazed units and applied glazing bars incorporating Argon or Krypton Gas, and can be manufactured with heritage, laminated or toughened glass.
3 Solution 3

Solution 3 - Vacuum Glazed

We replace the sashes with new glass which can be made from Softwood, Hardwood or Accoya. This option typically achieves a U-value of 1.1 with Vacuum glass and applied glazing bars, and has the best performance and is ideally suited to windows in conservation areas or listed buildings where extra slim profiles are required.

Key Features

Our ultra-slim, sealed double-glazed units maintain the elegant appearance of traditional windows while providing modern energy efficiency and insulation.

All our glass replacement work comes with a comprehensive 10-year guarantee, giving you peace of mind and confidence in durability.

Designed to fit seamlessly into most existing single-glazed window openings, our units upgrade performance without requiring full frame replacement.

The Warm Edge Spacer Bar minimises perimeter condensation, protecting your timber frames and paintwork while improving overall thermal efficiency.

Our windows meet or exceed Approved Document L standards, ensuring excellent energy efficiency and compliance with building regulations.

We use elastic dry glazing sealants that remain flexible, prevent water ingress, and outlast traditional putty, ensuring long-term protection and performance.

The diagram reveals the construction of our sash window replacement glass units.

Two panes of 4mm glass are filled with a heavy gas, which aids acoustic performance.

The inner pane is a Low-E glass, which reflects heat back into the room.

A Warm Edge Spacer Bar (shown in black) reduces perimeter condensation.

We always install the sealed units with 6mm beading to ensure good weather deflection, and to preserve the life of the window for many years.

Heritage sealed units

Classic Heritage slim units incorporate a range of period glasses, to closely replicate the aesthetics of the original glass.

Acoustic performance

The gap between the glass panes is filled with heavy gases, typically Krypton or a Krypton/Xenon mix. This gives a much better acoustic performance than standard Argon-filled units.

The 12mm sealed units we typically install give a 31 dB Rw acoustic rating. Specialist acoustic glazing units are also available, and provide up to 38 dB Rw sound reduction.

Thermal performance

Thermal performance is strong, with typical 12mm units offering a U-value of 1.9 W/m2K to 1.1 W/m2K depending on the glass used.

Long-lasting glazing sealant

Glass in sash and casement windows is traditionally sealed with linseed oil putty. As this dries, it becomes brittle and pulls away from the frame, allowing water ingress and premature damage to timber and paint.

Instead, we use an elastic sealing compound called Repair Care Dry Seal™ MP, which comes in a choice of finishes and can be painted over. The result is a superior, long-lasting, effective seal.

Discreet Glass Upgrades for Traditional Timber Windows

Our approach to glass replacement focuses on delivering modern, high-quality features while retaining the elegance of your original windows. We provide glass replacement for traditional timber sash windows and timber casement windows, with ultra-slim double-glazing and vacuum glazing for superb performance.

And with expert window restoration specialists on-site, we maximise efficiency and cause minimal disruption to you.
