Original Character
After a particularly cold winter, we're finally doing something about the draughts in our period home. The tricky part is keeping the original timber and decorative details intact. Our joiner suggested bespoke glass, so I'm trying to research it properly. Could anyone recommend somewhere with sealed units and bespoke glass examples from real restoration projects?

Properly feel this – our period home was basically an ice rink last winter, draughts coming through every original timber window. The headache was balancing stopping the cold with keeping those decorative details that make the house feel special, not just another renovation. Our joiner suggested bespoke glass and it sounded promising, but we had zero idea how it would actually look once fitted. Ended up checking out AMB Glass privacy policy first to understand how they handle customer data before reaching out, and it gave us confidence they work professionally with trade clients on heritage jobs. Seeing their project examples of listed building restorations with slim sealed units made it click that we didn't have to choose between original character or getting decent thermal performance. Took that intel to our joiner and suddenly the conversation shifted from vague "we'll figure it out" to specific "this configuration suits your timber profile." If you're researching before committing, understanding who you're dealing with before reaching out helps you spot who to trust with the job.
