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. 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. They can reduce the impact of draughts and help save on energy bills if properly installed.
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. 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 strong and secure, so they have remained popular today. To break them, the burglar would have to shatter thick glass panels.
Sash Windows are easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It takes a certain skill to open them. Most of their moving parts are encased between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, and a layer of felt or weather-stripping encloses them from the elements.
And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
In terms of real estate, a home’s windows are considered to be one of its most valuable assets. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Need assistance?

We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
Box sash windows make a beautiful addition to any home, offering functionality and beauty in harmony. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. Trade Timber Windows and Doors Woolwich creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. 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. 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.
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider up to 90 degrees.
Its spring-loaded balance prevents a handle from being used, so, once the window is open, it will stay there until enough pressure is applied to force it shut, like an automatic garage door. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design. A traditional method of using elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ provides sufficient tension for the window to move freely without any hindrance, while still holding in place under all conditions. 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.
Detailing is important to us at Trade Timber Windows and Doors Woolwich and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement 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.
Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, 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.
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. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look. You can choose from a wide range of colours for our stunning, Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green stains that go well with any modern exterior design. Alternatively, they can be made with single, double, or triple glazing. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.
