London · Supply only, made to measure
Sash windows supplied to Islington
Georgian squares and terraces of the first rank, with Victorian streets filling in behind them.
The sash stock in Islington
Islington holds an exceptional run of Georgian and early Victorian terraces around Canonbury, Barnsbury and the squares off Upper Street, formally proportioned, stock brick and stucco, with very extensive conservation area coverage and listing. Behind and around them the borough is Victorian and Edwardian terraced housing at high density, most of it originally sashed.
What we supply, and how it works
The protected proportion here is unusually high, so the consenting position governs a great many addresses and belongs with the owner and the council before anything is ordered. Where a replacement is agreed, the specification does the work: external astragal bars for the shadow line, matched pane divisions, slim sightlines and a deeper bottom rail. Inner London traffic also makes acoustic glass one of the most useful options on the front elevation.
This is a supply arrangement. You send a schedule of sizes, the windows are made to measure to it, and they are delivered kerbside to your address in Islington for your own contractor to put in. The sizes are yours, because the windows are built to the schedule you provide and nobody from our side has seen the openings.
What you control on the specification
- Colour.Eleven foils, five of them with a genuine woodgrain effect, plus any classic RAL shade sprayed or a Farrow & Ball colour matched. Dual colour available, so inside and outside need not agree.
- Glass. Toughened in both sashes as standard, with acoustic, laminated, solar control and obscure available and specified per window.
- Detailing. Deeper bottom rail, sash horns included or omitted, Georgian bars inside the sealed unit or external astragal bars, and shaped frames including Gothic, swept head and true arch.
- Hardware. Eight finishes including Antique Gold, with inset finger pulls and D handles as options.
1.3 W/m²K as standard, 1.2 with enhanced glazing.
Secured by Design specification available.
Equivalent to gusts of up to around 115mph.
Certificate issued against your job number.
Questions we get asked about Islington
Can you supply to a specification agreed with the council?
Yes. Send the agreed specification along with your schedule of sizes and the windows are built to it, covering glazing bar layout, bar type, sightlines, colour and hardware. Where something in it is not achievable we will say so before the order rather than substituting quietly.
How effective is acoustic glass on a busy London street?
It reduces traffic noise noticeably rather than removing it, and it is the most effective single option available. It works best combined with a frame built accurately to the opening, because leakage around a poorly fitting frame is often as large a part of the problem as the glass itself.
Other cities we deliver to
Delivery reaches the whole of Great Britain, so a city not listed here is still covered. See how supply-only orders work, or the areas where our own teams also handle the fitting.
