Double glazing in a small riverside town
Eton is a compact, low-lying town on the north bank of the Thames, joined to Windsor by the old bridge and shaped for centuries by Eton College, which owned much of the surrounding land. That history left a tight High Street of older brick and rendered frontages, Victorian terraces in the side streets and a wider spread of twentieth-century houses out at Eton Wick. Double glazed windows here need to look right on an old street while keeping out river damp and winter draughts.
The town centre lies within the Eton Conservation Area, so check with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead before altering front elevations, and ask whether any Article 4 direction covers your street. Our notes on planning permission for replacement windows explain where consent is usually needed.
Choosing a window style for an Eton property
- Casement windows are the everyday choice for Eton Wick semis and post-war houses; a flush casement sits level with its outer frame for a cleaner, more traditional face.
- Sash windows suit the older terraces near the High Street. Our uPVC sash windows page covers the look, and we will confirm which sash designs the Selecta range offers for your opening.
- Tilt and turn windows open inwards, which makes upper floors easy to clean; see our tilt and turn windows.
- Bay windows on Edwardian and interwar fronts are measured facet by facet, as described on our bay windows page.
- Cottage windows with slim glazing bars, and shaped windows such as arched heads or gable triangles, are made to measure.
Cutting aircraft noise from Heathrow
Eton shares Windsor’s position beneath many Heathrow arrivals and departures, and low aircraft can interrupt conversation indoors. Laminated acoustic glass, a wider cavity and panes of unequal thickness all help, and our sound-reducing windows page compares the choices. Triple glazing adds an extra cavity, and we will tell you honestly whether it suits the frame sizes you need. Where original windows must stay, secondary glazing fitted on the room side reduces noise and draughts without changing the view from the street.
Energy ratings, glass and window security
Energy-efficient windows rely on the whole package: the profile, the sealed unit, a warm-edge spacer and careful fitting. Our energy-rated windows page explains window energy ratings in plain terms; ask us to confirm the U-value and rating for the exact Selecta design you pick. Glass options include toughened safety glass where the regulations require it, obscure patterns for bathrooms and solar-control coatings for rooms that overheat.
On security, we fit multi-point locking and lockable handles, and we can confirm PAS 24 test status for your chosen windows and doors before you order.
Window colours: white, grey, black and woodgrain
White is still common in Eton, but many owners now pick anthracite grey, black or a woodgrain foil that gives a timber look without repainting. We do not make timber windows; woodgrain-foil uPVC is our timber-look route. Browse our window colours, then ask us to confirm the current Selecta shades for your design.
Front doors, back doors, French and patio doors
Our front doors come in uPVC or as composite doors, which pair a dense core with a painted-look skin. For back doors and utility rooms, a uPVC door with a multi-point lock is a sturdy option, and stable doors let you open the top half while keeping a dog in. French doors open a kitchen to the garden, and wider patio doors come in uPVC or as Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 aluminium sliders; we are a listed Reynaers at Home partner. Ask about smart locks and we will check compatibility with your door.
Repair first, or replace?
Misted units, dropped casements and worn hinges can often be repaired, and we will say so when that is the better answer. Where frames are failing, replacement on the Selecta Advance 70 system is the longer-term fix. Our double glazing cost guide sets out the things that shape an Eton quote.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need permission to replace windows in central Eton?
Possibly. Much of the town centre is in the Eton Conservation Area, and some streets may also be covered by an Article 4 direction that removes normal permitted development rights for windows. Check with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead before ordering, especially for front elevations, and tell us the outcome so we can match the approved design.
Will new windows help with Heathrow noise in Eton?
Yes, the right glass makes a noticeable difference. Laminated acoustic glass, a wider gap between panes and panes of different thickness each reduce aircraft and traffic noise. We can also fit secondary glazing behind existing windows. At survey we look at which rooms face the flight path and suggest glass for those openings rather than the whole house.
Can you fit uPVC sash windows on an older Eton terrace?
We can supply sash-style windows in uPVC, including woodgrain foils that soften the look on an older terrace. In the conservation area the council may prefer a closer match to the original, so check with the Royal Borough first. We will confirm which Selecta sash designs suit your openings and bring samples to the survey.
Does living on the Eton Wick floodplain change which doors I should pick?
It can. Eton Wick and riverside Eton lie largely in Flood Zones 2 and 3, so we pay close attention to thresholds, drainage channels and sealing at ground-floor doors. We cannot make a door floodproof, but a well-fitted uPVC or composite door with good seals resists driving rain and damp far better than a tired timber one.
How quickly can you fit windows in Eton?
Lead times run from 10 days after the final survey, depending on the design, colour and glass you choose. Eton is roughly a 15-minute drive from our Fifield workshop, so getting to you is straightforward. Most homes are fitted in one to three days, and we agree parking and access on narrow streets beforehand.
