Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. In addition to their beautiful aesthetic qualities, they are very effective in terms of energy efficiency, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while minimizing draughts through the frame, making them an ideal choice for modern buildings that seek a classic aesthetic.
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
The added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. 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 have long been recognised as robust and secure, with up to separate panels usually filled with broken glass to make a burglar’s task even more difficult.
Sash windows are easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. The secret is in the way they open. Moveable parts are enclosed between two solid hardwood sides, often covered with an additional layer of felt or weather-stripping to prevent the elements from getting into them.
It also won’t need any spring replacement once it snaps, unlike other traditional windows!
Did you know that the condition of your windows can have a greater impact on the value of your home?

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. There are two vertical wooden or metal sashes of this window, each of which can be opened for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame.
These windows feature authentic materials and premium decoration options, making them perfect for any style of home. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either 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. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient. The traditional method for providing tension for the windowpane to move with ease while holding firm is the use of elongated slots and wooden springs. 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. Their distinctive appearance adds originality to the properties of the era in which they are installed.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Lessness-Heath, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements 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. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. The Victorian sash is very traditional, and still make up one of the most common styles of windows today.
The reveal is the space left between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame, and it naturally creates openings for cold air to enter. 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. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.

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.
Aluminium is one of the most versatile frame materials out there. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
Our composite sashes are made of a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two pieces of aluminium creating an extremely strong and durable frame. To protect the frames against damage from the sun, weathering, animals, and chemicals, a latex acrylic finish is applied.
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable.
