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.
Installed correctly and maintained properly, sash windows are the ideal choice for any homeowner who wants to save energy. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. The extra weight also helps slow down entry by a burglar due to the force needed to push the window up if there is resistance. Sash windows are known to be more secure than other types of windows because a burglar must break through the different panes of glass if they want to gain access.
Sash windows are easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. The secret is in the way they open. Moveable parts are enclosed between two solid hardwood sides, often covered with an additional layer of felt or weather-stripping to prevent the elements from getting into them.
It also won’t need any spring replacement once it snaps, unlike other traditional windows!
In terms of real estate, a home’s windows are considered to be one of its most valuable assets. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home. Need help? Talk to Our Experts Contact us for a free, no-obligation quote on your repair or replacement needs.
We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. These are some of our most popular window styles:
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Widmore’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.
These windows feature authentic materials and premium decoration options, making them perfect for any style of home. 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.
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with a counterweight. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash 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. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them 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 features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number 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. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
Detailed work is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Widmore, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements 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.
Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. The bottom half of the frame slides up and down to open or close, while the top half stays stationary. The Victorian sash is very traditional, and still make up one of the most common styles of windows today.
The reveal is the space left between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame, and it naturally creates openings for cold air to enter. You can further enhance the classic look by adding large, ornate crowns. Our stunning Victorian timber sash windows are available in a wide range of colours, including beautiful blue and green stained finishes to compliment any exterior. Alternatively, they can be built with a single, double, or triple glazing arrangement. This delightful window style is a perfect choice for anyone who possesses a period home.

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.
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. 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 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. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. Wood frames are widely used for their durability and natural appeal — making them popular among customers. Sash wood frames at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Widmore offer a warm, cosy feel and come in both modern and traditional styles.
