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. 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.
Traditionally, sash windows have been popular among homeowners because of their classic looks and high energy efficiency. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally 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 low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. 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.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
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. Looking for assistance?

We install several types of sash windows. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. Here are our most popular sash windows:
Box sash windows make a beautiful addition to any home, offering functionality and beauty in harmony. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. 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. 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. Modern box sash windows feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, making them both energy efficient and aesthetically appealing.
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with a counterweight. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider 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. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also more energy-efficient. With elongated slots and wooden springs, we provide tension to allow the windowpane to move freely while still holding firm in all situations. We attribute this to the weather-proof, lightweight, paintable frames we offer, that allows us to serve the needs of time-sensitive and period 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. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them.
At Trade Timber Windows and Doors South-Wimbledon, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement 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. To open or close, the bottom half of the frame slides up and down, but the top half remains stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today.
The gap beneath the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge is called the reveal, and it lets cold air into the house. The classic look can be enhanced further by adding ornate crowns or returns to 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. As well as single, double, and triple glazing, they are available in a variety of sizes. This delightful window style is a perfect choice for anyone who possesses a period home.
Despite their traditional usage in historic homes, Edwardian sash windows are increasingly being used in contemporary houses as well.
Regardless of the age of the home, these can add historic style to new or existing structures. The unique shape of Edwardian sash windows makes them distinctive. Some of its historical elements remain intact, which make it unique.

Our sash windows are available in a range of different frame materials to suit your needs.
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
Frame materials like aluminium are some of the most versatile on the market. It’s lightweight, rust-resistant and, when used in a window, provides outstanding thermal properties.
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 finish helps protect the frames against UV rays and weathering, as well as animals and pollutants that can cause corrosion.
The best window material is wood. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
