Traditional glazing is more than just a practical element, it’s an aesthetic choice. It imparts a sense of character and authenticity to your space that modern alternatives can’t replicate. For heritage properties, maintaining traditional glazing is not merely about aesthetics. It’s about honouring the historical significance of your building and preserving its story for generations to come.Traditional glazing reflects the craftsmanship of a bygone era. Each window represents a piece of artistry that deserves to be safeguarded.
Challenges of Traditional Glazing and Older Wooden Windows
Traditional glazing methods, often found in historic or heritage buildings, involve the use of wooden frames and single-pane glass. These windows can be delicate and require regular maintenance to prevent air and water leaks, as well as to preserve their aesthetic and historical value. Over time, the window putty that seals the glass in place can deteriorate due to exposure to the elements, temperature fluctuations, and natural ageing.
The Role of Window Putty
Window putty is a crucial component of traditional glazing. It serves two primary purposes:
Sealing: Window putty seals the gap between the glass and the wooden frame, preventing drafts, moisture, and pests from entering the building.
Aesthetics: It also provides a finished look, filling in gaps and irregularities and contributing to the overall appearance of the window.

Secondary glazing is the perfect option if you live in an historic property. The charm and character of your historic property may be appealing, but the windows can be a bit of a hassle. They may not be able to be double glazed, and as a result, they can let in drafts and noise. However, secondary glazing can provide an additional layer of protection against the elements, without compromising the look of your property. In addition, secondary glazing can help to reduce noise pollution, making it perfect for properties located in busy areas. As a result, if you are looking for an alternative to double glazing, secondary glazing may be the perfect solution for you.
Our secondary glazing service is designed to remove the need for planning permission and completely protect the building. This increases the energy efficiency and security efforts of listed buildings whilst maintaining its classic design.
The idea of coloured kitchen splash-backs has become more and more popular in recent years. Coloured glass is a great way to add colour as well as make cleaning it easier than ever before – all you need is some warm soapy water, sponge or dish cloths. A wonderful addition for any home – whether contemporary or traditional!
Coloured kitchen splash backs are a popular design choice that can provide both an aesthetic and functional improvement to your kitchen. Splash backs are traditionally used to protect walls from splashes and stains, but they can also be used to add colour and character to your kitchen. When choosing a colour for your splash back, it is important to consider both the overall tone of your kitchen and the specific colours of your cupboards and countertops. If you have a light-coloured kitchen, then a dark-coloured splash back can create a striking contrast. Alternatively, if you have a brightly coloured kitchen, then a light-coloured splash back can help to create a more subtle look. In addition to their visual appeal, coloured splash backs can also help to reflect light and make your kitchen appear brighter and more spacious.
Whether you like modern decor or prefer traditional style, coloured glass back splashes will make sense for every property type.

Acoustic glazing is a superior option for homeowners living in particularly built up areas that are subject to additional noise. Spire Glass understands that large amounts of noise entering your living space can be troublesome and even damaging to your health. This is why we provide acoustic glazing designed to eliminate excess sounds that can be associated with urban traffic, close proximity of airports, nightclubs etc.
Our acoustic glass is designed to offer superior noise reduction, while also being durable and scratch resistant. The glass is made up of a series of layers that work together to trap sound waves and prevent them from passing through. The result is a significant reduction in noise levels, making it ideal for use in homes and offices. In addition to its noise-reducing properties, our acoustic glass is also very secure and difficult to break. The strong bonds between the layers make the glass virtually shatterproof, meaning it can withstand impact and force. This makes it an ideal choice for areas where security is a concern. Acoustic glass is also very low maintenance and easy to clean, making it a great option for busy households.
