Inspired by classic design, they come in a range of styles and finishes, complementing architecture from new builds to period buildings. 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.
Traditionally, sash windows have been popular among homeowners because of their classic looks and high energy efficiency. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. 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 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 low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. It takes a certain skill to open them. 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. 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. 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. Here are our most popular sash windows:
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. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame.
These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. 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. 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. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them more energy-efficient. 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. These features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
Georgian sash windows provide additional ventilation and are perfect for homes that require period style sash windows. Their distinctive appearance adds originality to the properties of the era in which they are installed.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Mitcham 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.
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. One of the most popular window styles in today’s market is the Victorian sash.
There is typically a large gap below the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge – this is called the reveal, and it allows cold air to enter through this space. You can further enhance the classic look by adding large, ornate crowns. 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. As well as single, double, and triple glazing, they are available in a variety of sizes. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.

You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
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. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
We manufacture composite sashes from a sandwich of polyethene (HDPE) and aluminium, which makes for a 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.
