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. Sash windows are effective and practical, allowing natural light to filter into the room while keeping out the cold. Because they don’t move around like other types of windows, they make a great choice for an architect or engineer who wants classic aesthetics and high levels of efficiency.
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. They can reduce the impact of draughts and help save on energy bills if properly installed.
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. It also makes entry more difficult for burglars as a force is needed to push the window up in the case of resistance. 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 also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. The secret is in the way they open. 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.
Here’s what’s even better: unlike other traditional windows, you’ll never have to replace springs once they break!
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Need help?

We install several types of sash windows. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. In this case, the window frame is given additional depth by using a unique tapered-rail device.
These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. Triple glazing and warm edge sprigging are also included in box sash windows, which offer attractive features your home can benefit from inside the home or outside.
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.
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. 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 features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
We offer Georgian sash windows, which are unique types of windows that fit those with a need for a period style window that also provides ventilation. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. To ensure quality workmanship, we utilize only top-grade authentic parts, so you can ensure you’re getting a period piece that’s of the highest quality.
Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. To open or close, the bottom half of the frame slides up and down, but the top half remains 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. The classic look can be enhanced further by adding ornate crowns or returns to the top and bottom. You can choose from a wide range of colours for our stunning, Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green stains that go well with any modern exterior design. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.

The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
With our uPVC Sash Windows, you will experience energy efficiency and optimal weather protection.
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. In addition to protection from UV rays, weathering, animals, and chemicals that might cause corrosion on the frames, a latex acrylic finish is applied over them to ensure their longevity.
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. The natural fibres of wood are biodegradable and renewable resources. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
