Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. 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.
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. 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. 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 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. It takes a certain skill to open 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.
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. Have a question?

We install an extensive range of sash windows. Among each type, there are different choices for the number and location of panes per window. Here are our most popular sash windows:
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Whitechapel’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. 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. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed from inside or outside your home.
Spring balanced sashes are windows that have been modified to allow them to use a counterweight. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, 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. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. With elongated slots and wooden springs, we provide tension to allow the windowpane to move freely while still holding firm in all situations. 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.
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.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Whitechapel, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style. We use top quality, genuine parts to ensure excellent quality so you can be sure you’ll get an awesome period design.

There are different frames available for our sash windows, so you can choose the one that is best for you.
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
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.
Wood windows are the best option. The natural fibres of wood are biodegradable and renewable resources. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Taking inspiration from traditional and modern styles, Trade Timber Windows and Doors Whitechapel’s sash wood frames offer warm, cosy vibes.
