This involved organising design consultations with the client to understand their exact window needs and producing detailed shop drawings and installation details by Marvin Architectural’s technical department. The Marvin Architectural surveyor then carried out a full site survey to confirm sizing and installation application. Further consultations between the client and Marvin Architectural’s representative ensured the window replacement solution being offered including installation met the client’s needs and expectations. However, before manufacturing could proceed, approval from the conservation officer had to be gained.

Marvin Architectural proposed to replace the client’s UPVC windows with Marvin’s double glazed Solid Wood Sliding Sash Window Range. These were offered with narrow 5/8” glazing bars and factory finished in white internally and externally to replicate the original Georgian style of the property as well as to remain in keeping with the neighbouring properties.

The initial ruling from the conservation officer was that the windows should be replaced with single glazing. Therefore the next step for Marvin Architectural and the client was to meet with the conservation officer and put forward the suggested window replacement programme.

Through meetings with the conservation officers and by presenting further architectural drawings and sample windows, The client appealed the conservation officers single glazing decision. The ruling was successfully overturned and the replacement of the windows with high performance double glazed sliding sash windows as proposed by Marvin Architectural could begin. In fact, the local council were so impressed with Marvin Windows and Doors they commented that they would recommend them to other home owners wishing to replace their windows.
