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. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. 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 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 also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. There is a secret to unlocking them. 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 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. If you’re renovating an older building or constructing a new one, sash windows will make the structure more desirable to potential buyers. Have a question?

We install an extensive range of sash windows. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. These are some of our most popular window styles:
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. There are two vertical wooden or metal sashes of this window, each of which can be opened 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 Stroud-Green creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. In this case, the window frame is given additional depth by using a unique tapered-rail device.
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.
Spring balanced sashes are windows that have been modified to allow them to use a counterweight. Up to 90 degrees of opening can be achieved with a Spring Balanced sash window, much more than other traditional windows.
As a result of the spring-loaded balance, there is no handle to pull, and once the window has been opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds to close it, the same way an automatic garage door does. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient. We use the traditional method of elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ to provide tension for the windowpane to move with ease but still hold firm in all conditions. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
We offer Georgian sash windows, which are unique types of windows that fit those with a need for a period style window that also provides ventilation. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly.
As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. 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. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day.
There is typically a large gap below the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge – this is called the reveal, and it allows cold air to enter through this space. If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. Alternatively, they can be built with a single, double, or triple glazing arrangement. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.
Despite their traditional usage in historic homes, Edwardian sash windows are increasingly being used in contemporary houses as well.
You can install them in a new house or renovate an existing one, and they add a sense of history. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape. Several historical features remain unchanged, which makes it unique. Edwardian sash windows that are traditional and authentic can fit any style and any job, but also will pay for themselves many times over thanks to the money you’ll save on your utility bills.
In addition to having lower utility bills all year round, with Edwardian windows, maintaining double glazing will be much easier.

You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
Frame materials like aluminium are some of the most versatile on the market. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.
We manufacture composite sashes from a sandwich of polyethene (HDPE) and aluminium, which makes for a strong and durable frame. A latex finish helps protect the frames against UV rays and weathering, as well as animals and pollutants that can cause corrosion.
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Plus, wood’s low perceived cost and high perceived quality meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!. Wooden sash frames from Trade Timber Windows and Doors Stroud-Green provide a warm, cosy ambience, and are available in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional.
