Sash windows are the epitome of traditional architecture. They create the classic old-world style and are a clear display of class, elegance, culture and sophistication. 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.
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. It is possible to save on energy bills and reduce draughts by installing them correctly.
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally 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 strong and secure, so they have remained popular today. To break them, the burglar would have to shatter thick glass panels.
Sash windows are low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. It’s all in how they open. They are sandwiched between two powerful hardwood sides, which are often weather-stripped or covered with felt and other materials to prevent leaks.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. As experienced window manufacturers, we know that sash windows are a cost-effective way to enhance the appearance and value of your property. Have a question?

We install several types of sash windows. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Cheam creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. By using a series of tapered rails, an extra depth is added to the window frame.
These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. Modern box sash windows feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, making them both energy efficient and aesthetically appealing.
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used 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. The traditional method for providing tension for the windowpane to move with ease while holding firm is the use of elongated slots and wooden springs. Combined with lightweight, weatherproof, and paintable frames, our products have become the top choice for time-critical projects.
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them.
At Trade Timber Windows and Doors Cheam, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement of quality and style To ensure quality workmanship, we utilize only top-grade authentic parts, so you can ensure you’re getting a period piece that’s of the highest quality.
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. 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. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look. 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. Alternatively, they can be built with a single, double, or triple glazing arrangement. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

Our sash windows are available in a range of different frame materials to suit your needs.
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. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
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. A latex finish helps protect the frames against UV rays and weathering, as well as animals and pollutants that can cause corrosion.
