Vacuum Glazed Side Hung Windows in Sheffield: Combining History with Energy Efficiency

This project was a terraced house located within a picturesque courtyard in the outskirts of Sheffield.  The large, Grade II Listed stable block in dates from the late 18th Century (with mid 19th Century additions) and has a square plan with central yard. Our customer, Gowercroft Joinery, produced highly efficient vacuum glazed side hung windows.

The customer wanted to keep the authenticity of the property whilst upgrading efficiency and quality. The existing windows were tired and inefficient, so the client was seeking modern standards of energy efficiency and comfort without jeopardising the historic importance of the building. Vacuum glazing was the clear choice.

Vacuum Glazing UK Ltd. supplied LandVac glass to the manufacturer of the highly efficient side hung casements. The homeowner was very pleased with the results and further replacement vacuum glazed side-hung windows are planned.
