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. 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.
Installed correctly and maintained properly, sash windows are the ideal choice for any homeowner who wants to save energy. It is possible to save on energy bills and reduce draughts by installing them correctly.
The added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. 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 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 easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It takes a certain skill to open 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.
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 sash windows in many different styles and materials throughout the whole of the UK. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. Here are our most popular sash windows:
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. 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. 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. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed from inside or outside your home.
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. A Spring balanced sash window can be opened much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees of opening.
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. The energy-saving properties of their innovative double-glazed glass design make them even more cost-effective. To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. Their distinctive appearance adds originality to the properties of the era in which they are installed.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Queensbury 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.
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. One of the most popular window styles in today’s market is the Victorian sash.
A sash has a natural space between the bottom edge and the frame called the reveal, which naturally encourages cold air to enter through the frame. You can further enhance the classic look by adding large, ornate crowns. 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. Alternatively, they can be built with a single, double, or triple glazing arrangement. This delightful window style is a perfect choice for anyone who possesses a period home.

The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium is one of the most versatile frame materials out there. 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. 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.
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
