Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. 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.
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. 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 are particularly secure and consist of three layers of glass, which makes it very difficult for a burglar to break into the property.
Sash Windows are easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It’s all in how they open. They are sandwiched between two powerful hardwood sides, which are often weather-stripped or covered with felt and other materials to prevent leaks.
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 do create value in buildings, and because they stay open without the use of any additional equipment, they can ultimately help you save on energy costs. Need help?

We install several types of sash windows. Among each type, there are different choices for the number and location of panes per window. Here are our top-selling sash windows:
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame.
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.
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash 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. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re 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. The combination of these features, combined with our weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frames have proven to be the most popular choice for period and time-sensitive 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. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Shadwell, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements 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. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.
The reveal is the space left between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame, and it naturally creates openings for cold air to enter. 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. As well as single, double, and triple glazing, they are available in a variety of sizes. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. The material is lightweight, rust-resistant, and provides excellent thermal properties when used in windows.
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. To protect the frames against damage from the sun, weathering, animals, and chemicals, a latex acrylic finish is applied.
