How Old Windsor’s homes took shape
Old Windsor is far older than its neighbour upstream: a Saxon riverside settlement with a royal palace stood here long before the castle was built. Most of the houses people live in today are much more recent. Early 1900s homes cluster around St Luke’s Road and Albany Road, interwar houses line Straight Road, Ouseley Road and The Friary, and the biggest wave came after the Second World War, when private and council estates took the village from roughly 475 houses in 1930 to nearly 1,900 by 1970. Infill schemes such as Hartley Copse and Bears Rails followed later.
That spread means double glazing here is rarely a one-size job. A 1960s estate house often has first-generation frames that have misted or lost their seals, while an Edwardian villa may still have narrow casements worth reproducing with care.
Window styles for each kind of house
- Casement and flush casement: standard casement windows suit most post-war semis and bungalows. A flush casement, where the opening sash sits level with the outer frame, gives a neater and more traditional face that works on older cottages near Old Windsor Green.
- Sash windows: for bay-fronted Edwardian houses, our uPVC sash windows keep the vertical sliding look without the draughts and repainting.
- Tilt and turn: tilt and turn windows open inwards for cleaning and ventilation, which helps in upstairs rooms and riverside apartments.
- Bay, cottage and shaped windows: we make bay windows to the angles of the existing brickwork, cottage-style frames with glazing bars, and shaped units such as arched or gable-end windows.
Warmth, quiet and security
Our double glazed windows are fabricated from Selecta Advance 70 profiles. The U-value and window energy rating depend on the glass unit specified, so ask us to confirm both for your order. Our guide to energy-rated windows explains the A++ to E rating scale and what Building Regulations expect from a replacement.
Straight Road is among the busiest single carriageways of its type in the borough, and homes along it pick up a constant hum of traffic. Sound-reducing windows using laminated acoustic glass, with panes of different thicknesses, can take the edge off it. Triple glazing is possible on suitable frames, so ask us to confirm it for your sizes, and where an original frame has to stay, secondary glazing adds an inner layer. Glass options also include toughened, obscure and laminated safety units. For window security, we will talk you through locking hardware and glazing for ground-floor rooms, and ask us to confirm the security rating of the specification.
Colours, from white to woodgrain
White is still the usual choice, but window colours such as grey, black and woodgrain finishes are increasingly popular on the village’s newer houses. We do not make timber windows or doors; woodgrain-foil uPVC is how we deliver a timber look with far less upkeep. Ask us to confirm which foils are offered on Selecta Advance 70 for your chosen style.
Front, back and garden doors
uPVC doors suit back doors and utility entrances, while many owners pick composite doors for the front because of their solid, timber-look finish. Browse our front door designs, consider a stable door for a cottage kitchen, or open a back room onto the garden with French doors or patio doors. For a really wide opening, we also install Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 aluminium sliding doors and are a listed Reynaers at Home partner. Ask us about door security too, including smart lock options.
Conservation area and floodplain
Old Windsor has its own conservation area, designated by the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead. If your house is inside it, is listed or is a flat, check with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead before ordering. Our article on planning permission for replacement windows explains the usual triggers.
Roughly 7% of the parish is Thames floodplain. That does not limit your choice of frame, but tell our surveyor if water has ever reached your back door, so the threshold can be detailed sensibly.
Repair or replace?
Not every tired window needs replacing. Window repair, such as swapping a misted sealed unit or a worn hinge, can buy several more years. When frames are warped, draughty or beyond fixing, replacement is the better investment, and our double glazing cost guide sets out what affects the quote. You can also see the whole uPVC windows and doors range.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need planning permission to replace windows in Old Windsor?
Usually not for a house outside the conservation area, provided the new windows look broadly similar to the old ones. Homes inside the Old Windsor Conservation Area, listed buildings and flats can be treated differently, so check with the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead first. We can supply drawings and colour details if the council asks for them.
How long does it take from survey to installation?
Lead times begin at 10 days once the survey is done and your order is confirmed. Larger projects, special colours or shaped frames can take longer. Because our team travels from Fifield, roughly 15 to 20 minutes from Old Windsor, booking the survey and the fitting day is normally simple to arrange around your diary.
Can uPVC windows look like wood on an older house?
Yes. Woodgrain-foil uPVC gives a timber appearance without the sanding and repainting that real wood needs, and flush casements or sash-style frames help on Edwardian homes around St Luke's Road. We do not make timber windows, so foiled uPVC is our timber-look route. Ask us to confirm which foils suit your style.
Will new windows reduce traffic noise on Straight Road?
They can make a noticeable difference. Acoustic double glazing uses laminated glass and panes of different thicknesses to block more sound than a standard unit, and well-sealed frames stop noise leaking around the edges. For front bedrooms facing the road, we would normally suggest an acoustic unit and talk through the options at survey.
Do you fit doors as well as windows in Old Windsor?
We do. We install uPVC back doors, French and patio doors, stable doors and composite front doors, and aluminium sliding doors for wider openings. Doors and windows can be fitted in the same visit so the colours match. Every installation carries our 10-year guarantee, and the free survey covers both.
