Sash windows are the epitome of traditional architecture. They create the classic old-world style and are a clear display of class, elegance, culture and sophistication. 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.
Our windows are custom-made with highly durable sashes that make it difficult for unauthorised individuals to lift them. The extra weight also helps slow down entry by a burglar due to the force needed to push the window up if there is resistance. 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 low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. It’s all in how they open. 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!
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. Have a question?

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
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. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. 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. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed from inside or outside your home.
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with a counterweight. Up to 90 degrees of opening can be achieved with a Spring Balanced sash window, much more than other traditional windows.
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. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. We use the traditional method of elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ to provide tension for the windowpane to move with ease but still hold firm in 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 are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Kilburn and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are 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.
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays 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. You can choose from a range of gorgeous colours for our stunning Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green staining to complement any exterior. Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium is one of the most versatile frame materials out there. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
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. In addition to protection from UV rays, weathering, animals, and chemicals that might cause corrosion on the frames, a latex acrylic finish is applied over them to ensure their longevity.
Wood makes a great window material. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material.
