What Conisbrough homes typically need
Castle town on the Don between Doncaster and Rotherham.
Typical window: sashes and stone-lintelled casements.
Most common brief: heritage constraints below the castle and cold stone terraces.
Conisbrough is a conservation area, so any frontage-visible change would need consent — our room-side install typically clears without formal consent because nothing is visible from the pavement.
Common questions
Will the frame be visible from outside?
No — the entire system sits room-side of the original window. From the pavement your frontage looks unchanged.
Do you match the frame colour to my existing joinery?
Yes — powder-coated aluminium is available in white, black, grey, satin anodised or any of 200+ RAL colours, colour-matched on request.
What if I've got Article 4 restrictions?
Article 4 applies to changes visible from the highway — a room-side install isn't visible from outside so it's usually unaffected.
What's the impact on natural light?
Minimal — the second pane is optically clear and slim-line frames sit within the original reveal so no daylight is lost.
Will the install harm the original sashes?
No — the secondary system fits into the reveal, not into the sash box. The original window operates exactly as before.
