Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. 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. 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 easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. The secret to opening them is hidden in plain sight. 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-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home.

We install several types of sash windows. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. These are some of our most popular window styles:
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. 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 constructed with genuine materials and come with a choice of high-quality grills and lattices, making them the perfect choice for your home. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
Spring balanced sashes are windows that have been modified to allow them to use a counterweight. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees.
Its spring-loaded balance prevents a handle from being used, so, once the window is open, it will stay there until enough pressure is applied to force it shut, like an automatic garage door. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. 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. 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.
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Sidcup, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style. We use top class authentic parts to ensure quality workmanship so you can be certain of getting a period design that will be great.
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. To open or close, the bottom half of the frame slides up and down, but the top half remains stationary. The Victorian sash is very traditional, and still make up one of the most common styles of windows today.
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. In addition to the classic look, ornate crowns and returns can be added at 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. Finish your period property with this delightful window style today.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Our Sash Windows are available in uPVC frames which are designed to offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. 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. A latex acrylic finish is applied over the frames to protect them from UV rays, weathering, animal damage, and chemicals that might lead to corrosion.
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Wood frames are widely used for their durability and natural appeal — making them popular among customers.
