Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old 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.
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. If they are bought and installed correctly, they can help save on energy bills and reduce the effects of draughts easily.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. Having the window extra heavy also makes it more difficult for a burglar to break in, since a stronger force is required to lift the window if there is resistance. Sash windows have long been recognised as robust and secure, with up to separate panels usually filled with broken glass to make a burglar’s task even more difficult.
Sash windows are easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. It takes a certain skill to open 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!
Windows are a vital investment, one of the most visible parts of a home, and a key factor in its overall value. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home.

We install several types of sash windows. Among each type, there are different choices for the number and location of panes per window. Here are our most popular sash windows:
Sash windows are available in many styles, including box sash windows. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. In this case, the window frame is given additional depth by using a unique tapered-rail device.
These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. Modern box sash windows feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, making them both energy efficient and aesthetically appealing.
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash windows, up to 90 degrees.
The balance of the window is spring-loaded, so there is no handle to pull, and once it is opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient. 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. The combination of these features, combined with our weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frames have proven to be the most popular choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. 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 make sure the parts we use are of the highest quality to ensure quality work so you can get an authentic design you are sure to enjoy.
Classically designed, a Victorian sash window is a double-hung window. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
The reveal is the space left between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame, and it naturally creates openings for cold air to enter. The classic look can be enhanced further by adding ornate crowns or returns to the top and bottom. There is a wide variety of colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a beautiful blue and green stained finish that will complement any exterior. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

There are different frames available for our sash windows, so you can choose the one that is best for you.
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
Composite sashes are made from a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium, creating a sash that is both strong and durable. In addition to protection from UV rays, weathering, animals, and chemicals that might cause corrosion on the frames, a latex acrylic finish is applied over them to ensure their longevity.
