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. In addition to their beautiful aesthetic qualities, they are very effective in terms of energy efficiency, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while minimizing draughts through the frame, making them an ideal choice for modern buildings that seek 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. They can reduce the impact of draughts and help save on energy bills if properly installed.
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 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 also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. The secret is in the way they open. 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!
In terms of real estate, a home’s windows are considered to be one of its most valuable assets. If you’re renovating an older building or constructing a new one, sash windows will make the structure more desirable to potential buyers. Would you like some help?

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. 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. These windows have two vertical wood or metal components; the upper and lower sashes open to allow for ventilation. English in origin, this style became popular due to its efficiency for transferring heat and its lightweight material. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Sipson creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. Tapered-rail devices at the window frame add depth by adding additional taper to the rails.
These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. Triple glazing and warm edge sprigging are also included in box sash windows, which offer attractive features your home can benefit from inside the home or outside.
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider 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. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. 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.
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. Installed in period properties, they are a discrete inclusion that adds to their charm.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Sipson 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.

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.
Frame materials like aluminium are some of the most versatile on the market. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
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.
Wood makes a great window material. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres.
