Inspired by classic design, they come in a range of styles and finishes, complementing architecture from new builds to period buildings. Sash windows are effective and practical, allowing natural light to filter into the room while keeping out the cold. Because they don’t move around like other types of windows, they make a great choice for an architect or engineer who wants classic aesthetics and high levels of efficiency.
Traditionally, sash windows have been popular among homeowners because of their classic looks and high energy efficiency. They can reduce the impact of draughts and help save on energy bills if properly installed.
The added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. The extra weight also helps slow down entry by a burglar due to the force needed to push the window up if there is resistance. Sash windows are particularly secure and consist of three layers of glass, which makes it very difficult for a burglar to break into the property.
Sash windows are also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. There is a secret to unlocking them. Their moveable parts are sandwiched between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, often with a layer of felt or weather-stripping in between them to keep out the elements.
Here’s what’s even better: unlike other traditional windows, you’ll never have to replace springs once they break!
Did you know that the condition of your windows can have a greater impact on the value of your home?

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. These are some of our most popular window styles:
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. English in origin, this style became popular due to its efficiency for transferring heat and its lightweight material. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame.
These windows are constructed with genuine materials and come with a choice of high-quality grills and lattices, making them the perfect choice for your home. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it with a counterweight. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees.
Because the balance is spring-loaded, there is no handle to pull, and once the window is opened, it will stay open until enough pressure builds up to push it closed, similar to an automatic garage door. The energy-saving properties of their innovative double-glazed glass design make them even more cost-effective. We use the traditional method of elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ to provide tension for the windowpane to move with ease but still hold firm in all conditions. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
Our Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that is perfect for those who require period style sash windows that provide additional ventilation. Installed in period properties, they are a discrete inclusion that adds to their charm.
As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. The Victorian sash is very traditional, and still make up one of the most common styles of windows today.
There is typically a large gap below the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge – this is called the reveal, and it allows cold air to enter through this space. If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. Our stunning Victorian timber sash windows are available in a wide range of colours, including beautiful blue and green stained finishes to compliment any exterior. Alternatively, they can be made with single, double, or triple glazing. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Many people find that Edwardian sash windows look beautiful in contemporary settings as well, even if they were originally built to be used in historical homes.
Installing them in new builds or existing homes would add a touch of historic flair. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape. Its uniqueness lies in the fact that many of its historical features remain intact. Authentic Edwardian sash windows are available in any style and for any job, but they also pay for themselves in the savings on your utility bill often over and over again.
Edwardian windows will take the hard work out of maintaining double glazing, and all year round you can enjoy the benefits of lower utility bills thanks to improved insulation.

The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Using high-density polyethene (HDPE) to strengthen the frame, we sandwich it between two metal pieces to create exceptionally strong and durable sashes. A latex acrylic finish is applied over the frames to protect them from UV rays, weathering, animal damage, and chemicals that might lead to corrosion.
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. Renewable and biodegradable, wood is a renewable resource. Plus, wood’s low perceived cost and high perceived quality meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
