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. 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. 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 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. They are sandwiched between two powerful hardwood sides, which are often weather-stripped or covered with felt and other materials to prevent leaks.
And the best part about our windows is that they are stronger and more reliable than even the highest quality traditional windows! Our reinforced springs prevent sagging and bending, even in the worst conditions, so you won’t have to worry about replacing any parts.
Windows are one of the most underrated and overlooked features of a home and in actuality, have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Need help?

We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. These are some of our most popular window styles:
Sash windows are available in many styles, including box sash windows. 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. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Kentish-Town’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. It is accomplished by installing a special tapered-rail device that gives the frame extra depth.
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.
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it with a counterweight. 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. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are 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.
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
At Trade Timber Windows and Doors Kentish-Town, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement 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.
Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. To open or close, the bottom half of the frame slides up and down, but the top half remains stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
Typically there will be a large gap between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame – this is called the reveal, and it naturally creates space that would allow cold air to enter through the frame. The classic look can be enhanced further by adding ornate crowns or returns to the top and bottom. 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 made with single, double, or triple glazing. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Although Edwardian sash windows have long been popular in historic houses, they are also becoming more popular in contemporary homes.

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 frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant and, when used in a window, provides outstanding thermal properties.
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.
Wood windows are the best option. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
