Sash windows are a beautiful architectural creation that is often seen as the mark of a traditional style. 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.
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. If they are bought and installed correctly, they can help save on energy bills and reduce the effects of draughts easily.
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. It also makes entry more difficult for burglars as a force is needed to push the window up in the case of 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. Most of their moving parts are encased between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, and a layer of felt or weather-stripping encloses them from the elements.
Our windows are made with a patented technology that eliminates the need for traditional springs. This makes them a lot more durable than other windows, which means that you’ll never have to worry about any springs snapping!
Windows are one of the most underrated and overlooked features of a home and in actuality, have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home. Need help? Talk to Our Experts Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote on your repair or replacement needs.
We install an extensive range of sash windows. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened 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.
The windows are made from high-quality materials and decorated with premium materials to fit any home style. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either inside or outside your home.
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with a counterweight. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash windows, up to 90 degrees.
Because the balance is spring-loaded, there is no handle to pull, and once the window is opened, it will stay open until enough pressure builds up to push it closed, similar to an automatic garage door. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient. 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. Combined with lightweight, weatherproof, and paintable frames, our products have become the top choice for time-critical projects.
Georgian sash windows provide additional ventilation and are perfect for homes that require period style sash windows. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Silvertown and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style. We make sure the parts we use are of the highest quality to ensure quality work so you can get an authentic design you are sure to enjoy.
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.
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. The classic look can be enhanced further by adding ornate crowns or returns to the top and bottom. Our stunning Victorian timber sash windows are available in a wide range of colours, including beautiful blue and green stained finishes to compliment any exterior. Alternatively, they can be built with a single, double, or triple glazing arrangement. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Despite their traditional usage in historic homes, Edwardian sash windows are increasingly being used in contemporary houses as well.
Installing them in new builds or existing homes would add a touch of historic flair. Its shape is what makes Edwardian sash windows so special. Several historical features remain unchanged, which makes it unique. With quality windows that are custom made for you, you will not only have a symbol of elegance and a refined design but you will also be saving money on your utility bills due to the traditional and authentic design.

You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
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.
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. 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 Silvertown provide a warm, cosy ambience, and are available in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional.
