We are a Glasgow-based, independent company who pride ourselves on customer service and a sensitive approach to your needs. We can recommend the most suitable choice of services for each individual client and budget. Mark and his team are skilled craftsmen. They worked hard, on program and produced superb refurbished windows that reinvigorated our house.
I have no hesitation in recommending them. We had virtually all our windows refurbished and throughout the work Glasgow Traditional Windows were extremely considerate, trustworthy, and also conscientious about tidying up at the end of each day in order to minimise disruption. We received an excellent service. They provided very good customer care, the staff kept us fully informed about the job and were happy to answer any questions we had.

The timber that we use as standard is Scandinavian Redwood which is a softwood.
The factors which dictate this choice are price, quality, workability and sustainability.
Hardwood options can be discussed and priced on request.
Softwood comes from the botanical group Gymnospermae (plants that have exposed seeds) and it is this scientific grouping that determines their place within the term "softwood" rather than their physical properties.
When weighing up the use of softwood versus hardwood for use in sash windows there are several points to consider.

We realise that it can be difficult to picture what the process of having some type of work done to your windows will be like, especially if you are considering doing this for the first time.
How much space will it take up?
How much equipment is required?
How intrusive will it be in our home?
These are all questions that it can be difficult to know the answers to until the work commences.
In order to ensure that you have a realistic expectation of what could possibly be happening in your home if you employ our services we have started to put together some short videos that hopefully clarify what's involved and what should be expected.

The vast majority of sash windows can be fully refurbished and will outlast a modern replacement.
Georgian and Victorian sash windows have been manufactured from slow grown pine which is a far stronger, more durable timber.
When your sash windows are fully refurbished they will last another 100 years - as long as the exterior paintwork is maintained.
For grade A listed buildings the answer will generally be no, but for most other properties it is not a problem.
A phone call to the local planning authority will clarify this.
