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. They are also very effective from an energy efficiency point of view, as they allow natural light to filter behind them whilst mitigating draughts through the frame, often making them popular choices for modern-day buildings looking for 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.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. 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 known to be more secure than other types of windows because a burglar must break through the different panes of glass if they want to gain access.
Sash Windows are easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. The secret is in the way 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.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
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. As experienced window manufacturers, we know that sash windows are a cost-effective way to enhance the appearance and value of your property. Have a question?

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. Here are our most popular sash windows:
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. 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. 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. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, 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. To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. 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.
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.
At Trade Timber Windows and Doors Mill-Hill, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement of quality and style The period design you will receive from us will be made out of top-class authentic parts to ensure quality craftsmanship.
Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.
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. If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. Our stunning Victorian timber sash windows are available in a wide range of colours, including beautiful blue and green stained finishes to compliment 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.
Although Edwardian sash windows have long been popular in historic houses, they are also becoming more popular in contemporary homes.
You can install them in a new house or renovate an existing one, and they add a sense of history. The distinctive shapes of Edwardian sash windows of the era are outstanding. Several historical features remain unchanged, which makes it unique. Authentic Edwardian sash windows are available in any style and for any job, but they also pay for themselves in the savings on your utility bill often over and over again.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. 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. A latex finish helps protect the frames against UV rays and weathering, as well as animals and pollutants that can cause corrosion.
Wood makes a great window material. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. Quality, elegance, and design are three major factors that don’t compromise wood frames in any way. They meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!
