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. 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. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. A burglar also has a hard time forcing a window up if it is heavier due to the additional force required. 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 easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It takes a certain skill to open them. 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!
In terms of real estate, a home’s windows are considered to be one of its most valuable assets. 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. Would you like some help?

We install sash windows in many different styles and materials throughout the whole of the UK. Among each type, there are different choices for the number and location of panes per window. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
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. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Elm-Park’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. By using a series of tapered rails, an extra depth is added to the window frame.
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. 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. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash windows, up to 90 degrees.
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. 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 features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
We offer Georgian sash windows, which are unique types of windows that fit those with a need for a period style window that also provides ventilation. Their distinctive appearance adds originality to the properties of the era in which they are installed.
As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Victorian sash windows are one of the most popular window styles in today’s market.
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. 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.
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.
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.
Wood makes a great window material. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
