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 aesthetic value, these windows are excellent from an energy efficiency standpoint, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while mitigating draughts through the frame, resulting in popular choices for modern-day buildings seeking a classic aesthetic.
Installed correctly and maintained properly, sash windows are the ideal choice for any homeowner who wants to save energy. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. 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 low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. There is a secret to unlocking them. To reduce the risk of rust, the moveable components are sandwiched between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, often with a layer of felt or weatherstripping in between.
Here’s what’s even better: unlike other traditional windows, you’ll never have to replace springs once they break!
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home. Have a question? Contact one of our experts Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote on your repair or replacement needs.
We install several types of sash windows. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of 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. These windows have two vertical wood or metal components; the upper and lower sashes open to allow for ventilation. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. Trade Timber Windows and Doors East-Finchley 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 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.
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. A Spring balanced sash window can be opened much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees of opening.
A spring balance eliminates the need for a handle; once the window is opened, it stays open until enough pressure has been built up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. These features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. 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 East-Finchley, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements 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. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. One of the most popular window styles in today’s market is the Victorian sash.
A sash has a natural space between the bottom edge and the frame called the reveal, which naturally encourages cold air to enter through the frame. In addition to the classic look, ornate crowns and returns can be added at the top and bottom. 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. As well as single, double, and triple glazing, they are available in a variety of sizes. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. The material is lightweight, rust-resistant, and provides excellent thermal properties when used in windows.
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 acrylic finish is applied over the frames to protect them from UV rays, weathering, animal damage, and chemicals that might lead to corrosion.
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. Plus, wood’s low perceived cost and high perceived quality meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
