Sash windows are a beautiful architectural creation that is often seen as the mark of a traditional style. 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. 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 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.
Sash windows are low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. There is a secret to unlocking 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.
Here’s what’s even better: unlike other traditional windows, you’ll never have to replace springs once they break!
In terms of real estate, a home’s windows are considered to be one of its most valuable assets. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home.

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. Among each type, there are different choices for the number and location of panes per window. These are some of our most popular window styles:
Sash windows are available in many styles, including box sash windows. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open 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. 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. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
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.
As a result of the spring-loaded balance, there is no handle to pull, and once the window has been opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds to close it, the same way an automatic garage door does. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also 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.
Our Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that is perfect for those who require period style sash windows that provide additional ventilation. Installed in period properties, they are a discrete inclusion that adds to their charm.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Palmers-Green and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are 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.
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
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. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. Alternatively, they can be made with single, double, or triple glazing. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Edwardian sash windows have long been a mainstay in historic homes, but many people are finding that they work well in contemporary settings as well.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant and, when used in a window, provides outstanding thermal properties.
Composite sashes are made from a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium, creating a sash that is both strong and durable. 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.
Wood windows are the best option. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Wooden sash frames from Trade Timber Windows and Doors Palmers-Green provide a warm, cosy ambience, and are available in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional.
