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.
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. 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. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. 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.
You can keep your sash windows in good working order with little attention needed thanks to their design, plus their durable material helps them last for many years. There is a secret to unlocking them. Their moveable parts are sandwiched between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, often with a layer of felt or weather-stripping in between them to keep out 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!
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 are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home. Have a question?

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. Here are our most popular sash windows:
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. 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. By using a series of tapered rails, an extra depth is added to the window frame.
These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either inside or outside your home.
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider up to 90 degrees.
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. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them more energy-efficient. With elongated slots and wooden springs, we provide tension to allow the windowpane to move freely while still holding firm in all situations. Combined with lightweight, weatherproof, and paintable frames, our products have become the top choice for time-critical projects.
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors North-Harrow and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. 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. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look.

They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
With our uPVC Sash Windows, you will experience energy efficiency and optimal weather protection.
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. 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 acrylic finish is applied over the frames to protect them from UV rays, weathering, animal damage, and chemicals that might lead to corrosion.
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable.
