Sliding sash windows in Pangbourne
A Thames village that grew with the railway, and kept the villas that came with it.
What is built in Pangbourne
Pangbourne sits where the Pang meets the Thames, and the arrival of the railway turned a small village into a place of substantial Victorian and Edwardian villas, many of them close to the river with large windows taking advantage of it. The older village core survives around the church and the high street, and later twentieth century housing fills the slopes behind, with the Pangbourne College grounds and open country immediately beyond.
What that means for your windows
River facing villas have a specific problem, which is that the elevation with the best view is usually also the one taking the most weather and the most sun. That splits the specification by elevation rather than by house: solar control glass where a room overheats, acoustic where a road or railway is close, obscure where privacy matters, and toughened as standard throughout. Mixing them across one order is normal and it is a better use of money than treating every opening identically.
Two ways to buy in Pangbourne
Pangbourne is inside the area our own fitting teams cover, so you can have the whole job done by one company. You can also buy the windows on their own if you have a builder already, which is how most trade customers order.
- Supplied and fitted. We survey your openings before anything is ordered, so the sizes are our responsibility rather than yours. Our own teams fit, take the old windows away and make good the plaster line, and you get a FENSA certificate and an insurance-backed guarantee on completion.
- Supplied only. You send a schedule of sizes, choose the colour, glass, hardware and glazing bar layout, and the windows are delivered kerbside for your own fitter. Popular with builders, developers, self-builders and landlords. On a supply-only order the sizes are yours, because nobody from our side has seen the openings.
1.3 W/m²K as standard, 1.2 with enhanced glazing.
Secured by Design available, satisfying Document Q.
Equivalent to gusts of up to around 115mph.

Questions we get asked in Pangbourne
What glass options are available?
Toughened glass comes as standard in both sashes. Beyond that there are acoustic, laminated, solar control and obscure options, and they can be specified per window rather than per house. A south facing room with solar control, a road frontage with acoustic and a bathroom with obscure in the same order is a normal specification.
Can the windows help with a room that overheats in summer?
Solar control glass is the option for that, and it is worth targeting at the specific elevations that catch the afternoon sun rather than applying it everywhere. It is decided at survey, when the surveyor can see which rooms actually have the problem.
