Sash windows are a beautiful architectural creation that is often seen as the mark of a traditional style. Sash windows are effective and practical, allowing natural light to filter into the room while keeping out the cold. Because they don’t move around like other types of windows, they make a great choice for an architect or engineer who wants classic aesthetics and high levels of efficiency.
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. It is possible to save on energy bills and reduce draughts by installing them correctly.
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 particularly secure and consist of three layers of glass, which makes it very difficult for a burglar to break into the property.
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. There is a secret to unlocking them. Most of their moving parts are encased between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, and a layer of felt or weather-stripping encloses them from the elements.
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 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. Looking for assistance?

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. These are some of our most popular window styles:
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. These windows have two vertical wood or metal components; the upper and lower sashes open to allow for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. The box sash windows give homeowners a clean and classic look by enhancing the outlook of any property and are also designed to blend seamlessly with the building structure, making them an aesthetically pleasing choice for homeowners. Tapered-rail devices at the window frame add depth by adding additional taper to the rails.
These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. 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.
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider up to 90 degrees.
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. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them 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. 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 additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Highams-Park and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
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. You can further enhance the classic look by adding large, ornate crowns. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Despite their traditional usage in historic homes, Edwardian sash windows are increasingly being used in contemporary houses as well.
Regardless of the age of the home, these can add historic style to new or existing structures. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape. Several of its historical features remain intact, which makes it unique. Edwardian sash windows are unique and offer traditional styles to suit any job or style, as well as saving money because they are energy efficient.
With Edwardian windows, double glazing maintenance will become a hassle-free process, and you will enjoy lower energy bills throughout the year as a result of improved insulation.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Our Sash Windows are available in uPVC frames which are designed to offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
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.
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres.
