Inspired by classic design, they come in a range of styles and finishes, complementing architecture from new builds to period buildings. 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.
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.
Our windows are custom-made with highly durable sashes that make it difficult for unauthorised individuals to lift them. 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 also have historically been more secure than other types of windows because burglars have to break through layers/panels and they are usually back-filled with glass pieces on impact and therefore difficult to enter.
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. Moveable parts are enclosed between two solid hardwood sides, often covered with an additional layer of felt or weather-stripping to prevent the elements from getting into them.
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 a vital investment, one of the most visible parts of a home, and a key factor in its overall value. If you’re renovating an older building or constructing a new one, sash windows will make the structure more desirable to potential buyers. Have a question?

We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
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 Colyers 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.
The windows are made from high-quality materials and decorated with premium materials to fit any home style. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. A Spring balanced sash window can be opened much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees of opening.
Its spring-loaded balance prevents a handle from being used, so, once the window is open, it will stay there until enough pressure is applied to force it shut, like an automatic garage door. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also more energy-efficient. To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. 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 provide additional ventilation and are perfect for homes that require period style sash windows. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Colyers, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style. We use top quality, genuine parts to ensure excellent quality so you can be sure you’ll get an awesome period design.
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. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.
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.

The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
Our Sash Windows are available in uPVC frames which are designed to offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. The material is lightweight, rust-resistant, and provides excellent thermal properties when used in windows.
Several layers of high-density polyethene (HDPE) with two layers of aluminium create a frame so strong and durable that, when replaced, it will last hundreds of years. 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. The natural fibres of wood are biodegradable and renewable resources. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Sash wood frames at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Colyers offer a warm, cosy feel and come in both modern and traditional styles.
