Schnauber replaced the entire timber windows for this stunning property in Saffron Walden.
Owner, Mr Clarke had been doing continuous repair work to his unique wooden windows for numerous years until they were just beyond repair. Not only were the old heritage windows rotting but were also very inefficient due to being single glazed.
Schnaubers task was to replicate the wooden windows and manufacture new stained glass to match the original. The replacement timber windows are not only double glazed, safe and secure but also enhances the property’s original character.
Mr Clarke said, “The windows give my home its smile back” which is a great compliment for all the hard work done by our talented craftsmen.

Once the openings were fully prepared, we installed the new premium timber windows, custom-built to exact heritage proportions. The results were instantly noticeable, both aesthetically and functionally.
Key improvements delivered:
The finished installation brought a new sense of depth, warmth, and character to the property—delivering a level of refinement and authenticity that uPVC alternatives simply cannot achieve.
