Manon Lagreve’s London Victorian townhouse sash window project
We have been honoured and delighted to work in partnership with Manon Lagreve on the renovation of her London townhouse.
Manon, an entrepreneur, author, content creator and Great British Bake Off quarter finalist, draws on her French heritage to share her love of recipe creation, cooking and baking.
On a leafy London street, surrounded by famous parks and shopping streets, the Victorian townhouse Manon shares with her husband and young family, needed some attention. Having moved in a couple of years ago, they were able to recognise that the single glazed sash windows were a major problem.
The original wooden windows were falling apart, painted shut, wouldn’t open and in some cases had broken glass, making them no longer fit for purpose.
Recognising the quality products on offer from Timber Windows, and viewing the options available in her friendly local showroom, Manon settled on beautifully engineered timber slim sash windows in the same style as the originals, adorned with brass fixtures and running on traditional cords and weights.
Following a 5-day installation, Manon is delighted that her home is transformed with windows that now open smoothly, look fantastically traditional and offer vastly improved thermal and noise insulation.
The journey for Manon from showroom visit, through installation and her reaction to the finished project have been captured in a series of three short videos here.
