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.
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. 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 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 easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It takes a certain skill to open them. 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!

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. 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. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. By using a series of tapered rails, an extra depth is added 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. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees.
Because the balance is spring-loaded, there is no handle to pull, and once the window is opened, it will stay open until enough pressure builds up to push it closed, similar to an automatic garage door. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them more energy-efficient. The traditional method for providing tension for the windowpane to move with ease while holding firm is the use of elongated slots and wooden springs. 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. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Worcester-Park and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style.

Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Our Sash Windows are available in uPVC frames which are designed to offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. The material is lightweight, rust-resistant, and provides excellent thermal properties when used in windows.
Composite sashes are made from a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium, creating a sash that is both strong and durable. 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.
