Sash windows are a beautiful architectural creation that is often seen as the mark of a traditional style. 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.
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. If they are bought and installed correctly, they can help save on energy bills and reduce the effects of draughts easily.
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. 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.
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. They are sandwiched between two powerful hardwood sides, which are often weather-stripped or covered with felt and other materials to prevent leaks.
It also won’t need any spring replacement once it snaps, unlike other traditional windows!
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. 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 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. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. The box sash windows give homeowners a clean and classic look by enhancing the outlook of any property and are also designed to blend seamlessly with the building structure, making them an aesthetically pleasing choice for homeowners. In this case, the window frame is given additional depth by using a unique tapered-rail device.
These windows feature authentic materials and premium decoration options, making them perfect for any style of home. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either inside or outside your home.
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider up to 90 degrees.
A spring balance eliminates the need for a handle; once the window is opened, it stays open until enough pressure has been built up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also more energy-efficient. To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. These features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number 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. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
At Trade Timber Windows and Doors South-Hornchurch, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement of quality and style To ensure quality workmanship, we utilize only top-grade authentic parts, so you can ensure you’re getting a period piece that’s of the highest quality.
Classically designed, a Victorian sash window is a double-hung window. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
Typically there will be a large gap between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame – this is called the reveal, and it naturally creates space that would allow 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. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. The material is lightweight, rust-resistant, and provides excellent thermal properties when used in windows.
Using high-density polyethene (HDPE) to strengthen the frame, we sandwich it between two metal pieces to create exceptionally strong and durable sashes. 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.
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. 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.
