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. 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.
Traditionally, sash windows have been popular among homeowners because of their classic looks and high energy efficiency. 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. 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 easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. The secret to opening them is hidden in plain sight. Most of their moving parts are encased between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, and a layer of felt or weather-stripping encloses them from the elements.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!

We install several types of sash windows. 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:
Box sash windows make a beautiful addition to any home, offering functionality and beauty in harmony. These windows have two vertical wood or metal components; the upper and lower sashes open to allow for ventilation. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. It is accomplished by installing a special tapered-rail device that gives the frame extra depth.
These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Up to 90 degrees of opening can be achieved with a Spring Balanced sash window, much more than other traditional windows.
Because the balance is spring-loaded, there is no handle to pull, and once the window is opened, it will stay open until enough pressure builds up to push it closed, similar to an automatic garage door. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. With elongated slots and wooden springs, we provide tension to allow the windowpane to move freely while still holding firm in all situations. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly.
As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. We make sure the parts we use are of the highest quality to ensure quality work so you can get an authentic design you are sure to enjoy.
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. The bottom half of the frame slides up and down to open or close, while the top half stays stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
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. If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. 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. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.

There are different frames available for our sash windows, so you can choose the one that is best for you.
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
Aluminium is one of the most versatile frame materials out there. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Using high-density polyethene (HDPE) to strengthen the frame, we sandwich it between two metal pieces to create exceptionally strong and durable sashes. The frames are then painted with an acrylic latex finish to protect them from UV rays, weathering, bird and animal damage as well as chemicals that can lead to corrosion.
The best window material is wood. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Wood frames are widely used for their durability and natural appeal — making them popular among customers. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
