BROUGHTON VILLAGE • GRADE B LISTED PROPERTY • DOUBLE GLAZING UPGRADE

Recently completed double glazing upgrade at this beautiful Grade B listed property in Broughton Village, Edinburgh.
As a listed building, careful consideration was required to ensure the original character and architectural features of the property were preserved.

Our team managed the listed building consent application on behalf of the client, successfully securing approval before carrying out the glazing upgrade.

With consent granted, we carefully upgraded the existing traditional sash and case windows to double glazing, improving thermal efficiency and comfort while remaining sympathetic to the building’s historic character.

The windows were finished externally in a beautiful heritage dark green, perfectly complementing the traditional stonework and enhancing the property’s period charm.

Recently completed shutter restoration.

The original shutters had been hidden beneath layers of plasterboard and panelling for many years!

Our team carefully stripped everything back, restored the original shutters to their former glory, and manufactured and installed new architraves and mouldings to reinstate this beautiful period feature.

Our site joiners then carefully adjusted the existing panelling to blend seamlessly into the new architraves, keeping everything sympathetic to the original character of the room.

IN WITH THE NEW • 1812 TO 2022 • GEORGIAN FANLIGHT

We were commissioned to manufacture a complete like for like replacement Georgian fanlight, originally dating from 1812.

The original fanlight had reached the end of its life, with extensive timber decay and cracked glass allowing water ingress into the property.

Our craftsmen carefully replicated every original detail, from the proportions and mouldings to the glazing pattern and overall character of the original piece.

The result is a sympathetic replacement that preserves an important period feature while ensuring the property is protected for many years to come,

ARCHED SASH & CASE WINDOWS • TRADITIONAL DETAIL • BESPOKE MADE

Arched sash and case windows are one of the most distinctive features found in traditional period properties.

The sash and case window was first introduced in the mid 1600s, with oak commonly used, thick astragals, and small panes designed to hold the precious crown glass of the time.

As window design developed over the centuries, styles became more refined and decorative.

By the mid 1800s, glass had become more affordable, astragals became less prominent, and curves and arches started to feature more widely in sash and case window design.

At Hermitage Windows, we pride ourselves on manufacturing exact replicas, carefully considering every original detail, including the proportions, mouldings, profiles, curves, arches and traditional joinery.
