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. They are also very effective from an energy efficiency point of view, as they allow natural light to filter behind them whilst mitigating draughts through the frame, often making them popular choices for modern-day buildings looking for a classic aesthetic.
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.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. 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 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.
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. 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!
Windows are a vital investment, one of the most visible parts of a home, and a key factor in its overall value. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Would you like some help?

We install an extensive range of sash windows. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. Here are our top-selling sash windows:
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. There are two vertical wooden or metal sashes of this window, each of which can be opened for ventilation. English in origin, this style became popular due to its efficiency for transferring heat and its lightweight material. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. 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. 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. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also 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. We attribute this to the weather-proof, lightweight, paintable frames we offer, that allows us to serve the needs of time-sensitive and period projects.
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.
A real statement of quality and style, the Georgian sash with its two sills and arches are an important detail for us here at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Plaistow. We use top quality, genuine parts to ensure excellent quality so you can be sure you’ll get an awesome period design.
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. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.
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. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Finish your period property with this delightful window style today.

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.
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.
Several layers of high-density polyethene (HDPE) with two layers of aluminium create a frame so strong and durable that, when replaced, it will last hundreds of years. 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.
