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. In addition to their beautiful aesthetic qualities, they are very effective in terms of energy efficiency, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while minimizing draughts through the frame, making them an ideal choice for modern buildings that seek a classic aesthetic.
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
The added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. 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. 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.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!

Box sash windows make a beautiful addition to any home, offering functionality and beauty in harmony. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Crews-Hill creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame.
These windows feature authentic materials and premium decoration options, making them perfect for any style of home. Triple glazing and warm edge sprigging are also included in box sash windows, which offer attractive features your home can benefit from inside the home or outside.
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it with 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. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re 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. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
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.

Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.

If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. You can choose from a wide range of colours for our stunning, Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green stains that go well with any modern exterior design.

The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
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. To protect the frames against damage from the sun, weathering, animals, and chemicals, a latex acrylic finish is applied.
