Bespoke Timber Sliding Sash Windows
Timber sliding sash windows were introduced during the Georgian period and continue to be a popular choice of window for homes of distinction built during this era, as well as today’s stylish modern new builds. Made from engineered hardwood our sliding sash windows have been developed using the latest technologies and are recognised within the industry for their design, exceptional quality and high performance. Offering all the practical features you’d expect from any new window system including high-level security, energy efficiency and low maintenance, with our sash windows you’re guaranteed a quality product which will complement your home.
Outstanding Ventilation with Timber Sliding Sash Windows
Despite their traditional origins, sliding sash windows are still one of the most effective ways to ventilate a room. By opening both top and bottom sashes, the top opening lets hotter air rise and escape from the building, while the bottom opening lets cooler air into the room from outside, creating an efficient air circulation effect. Due to the sash opening mechanism, sliding sash windows can also be particularly useful where it is not possible or convenient to have an outward-opening sash, for example where the window is adjacent to an external path or walkway. It is also possible to place garden furniture and the like much closer to the windows, which can be an advantage where space is an issue.
We can manufacture sliding sash windows in a wide range of shapes and sizes, with frames available up to 3m high, and with up to three sashes in the width of a single frame. We can also design and manufacture feature windows with curved heads and a wide variety of curved and special glazing bar designs. Whether matching or replacing existing windows, or looking for something to set your new-build apart, we are confident that we can provide something special to give your home a unique and elegant distinction.
