Redefining Elegance and Efficiency in Historic Homes When preserving the charm of a historic home while embracing modern efficiency, it's all about balance and attention to detail. Our work on Hugh and Kiki's 200 year old Cornish home perfectly reflects this philosophy. Yet, like many period properties, it faced the common issue of heat loss, especially through its original sash windows and multiple casement windows. We installed Cosy Glazing, a secondary glazing solution that’s as discreet as effective. Cosy Glazing keeps the home's original look intact, allowing Hugh and Kiki to enjoy a warmer, more energy-efficient space without sacrificing any of its character. For Hugh and Kiki, this upgrade wasn’t about a quick fix; it was a long-term investment in comfort, efficiency, and sustainability. Now, they experience significant reductions in heat loss and a noticeable drop in energy costs while still enjoying the aesthetic they fell in love with. Helping clients like Hugh and Kiki strike that ideal balance between heritage and modern comfort is what we do best. There’s no one-size-fits-all approach; every property has its own story, and we’re here to help it evolve with integrity. Each home we work on is distinct, and we’re committed to finding solutions that honour heritage and efficiency.
