Trent Glass is currently upgrading the glazing at a home near Wollaton Park that is approximately 125 years old. The project replaces the original single glazing with vacuum glass while retaining the existing timber windows.

Keeping the original timber windows

The existing wooden frames are an important part of the house’s character. This project focuses on changing the glass within those frames, preserving the familiar appearance of the windows as the glazing is upgraded.
