Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. These windows ensure you get a seamless visual link between the inside and outside of a building, whilst also promoting openness and freshness in airflow.
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. It also makes entry more difficult for burglars as a force is needed to push the window up in the case of 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.
You can keep your sash windows in good working order with little attention needed thanks to their design, plus their durable material helps them last for many years. The secret is in the way they open. 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 do create value in buildings, and because they stay open without the use of any additional equipment, they can ultimately help you save on energy costs. Need help?

We specialise in installing 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:
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. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Colliers-Wood’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. In this case, the window frame is given additional depth by using a unique tapered-rail device.
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. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed from inside or outside your home.
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider 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. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also more energy-efficient. A traditional method of using elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ provides sufficient tension for the window to move freely without any hindrance, while still holding in place under all conditions. We attribute this to the weather-proof, lightweight, paintable frames we offer, that allows us to serve the needs of time-sensitive and period projects.
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.

Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. 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.

Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look.

Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Finish your period property with this delightful window style today.

There are different frames available for our sash windows, so you can choose the one that is best for you.
With our uPVC Sash Windows, you will experience energy efficiency and optimal weather protection.
Frame materials like aluminium are some of the most versatile on the market. 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. The frames are then painted with an acrylic latex finish to protect them from UV rays, weathering, bird and animal damage as well as chemicals that can lead to corrosion.
Wood windows are the best option. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. Wood frames are widely used for their durability and natural appeal — making them popular among customers. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
