Sash windows are the classic old-world style of windows with a very traditional feel and are often viewed as the symbol of traditional architecture. They are also very effective from an energy efficiency point of view, as they allow natural light to filter behind them whilst mitigating draughts through the frame, often making them popular choices for modern-day buildings looking for a classic aesthetic.
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
Our windows are custom-made with highly durable sashes that make it difficult for unauthorised individuals to lift them. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. Sash windows are strong and secure, so they have remained popular today. To break them, the burglar would have to shatter thick glass panels.
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. 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.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
Windows are one of the most underrated and overlooked features of a home and in actuality, have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Have a question?

We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Catford’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. It is accomplished by installing a special tapered-rail device that gives the frame extra depth.
These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either inside or outside your home.
Spring balanced sashes are windows that have been modified to allow them to use a counterweight. A Spring balanced sash window can be opened much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees of opening.
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. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are 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.
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. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Catford, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
Classically designed, a Victorian sash window is a double-hung window. The bottom half of the frame slides up and down to open or close, while the top half stays stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
The gap beneath the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge is called the reveal, and it lets cold air into the house. 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. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.

You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. 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. To protect the frames against damage from the sun, weathering, animals, and chemicals, a latex acrylic finish is applied.
Wood windows are the best option. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
