Timber glazing upgrades in Penryn
If Retrofit Double Glazing in Penryn were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. You will find mostly granite fishermen's cottages, slate-hung terraces and modern coastal builds in this area, and it moves as it ages. The exposure here is the most severe salt and wind exposure in England, which is exactly the condition that causes accelerated coating failure and salt crystallisation damage at glazing lines. The detail we will not compromise on is reworking the rebate so a sealed unit fits without bulking the section.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
Something particular to this area: Cornish exposure grades mean specification should assume worst-case wind-driven rain.

“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”

Verified client, Cornwall“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
