Why Sash?

Sash windows are a classic choice, adored for their elegant aesthetic and timeless appeal that complements both historic and modern architecture. Beyond their visual charm, they're incredibly practical. Their traditional design allows for vertical sliding, offering versatile ventilation options by opening from either the top or bottom. Modern variations often include a tilt-and-turn mechanism, which allows the sashes to tilt inwards for easy cleaning and enhanced airflow, providing a perfect blend of heritage style and contemporary functionality.

 

Choosing your Sash Windows:

​

When it comes to sash windows, each material brings its own set of perks!

• Wood offers that classic, authentic look that's super charming and fits right in with traditional architecture. It's also a natural insulator, which means it's great for keeping your home cozy and energy-efficient. Plus, wooden frames can be painted or stained any color you like, giving you tons of flexibility to change up your style over the years. They're also incredibly durable and can last for decades, even centuries, with proper maintenance.

​

• PVC (uPVC) is a popular choice for a reason – it's practically maintenance-free! You don't have to worry about painting or varnishing, and a quick wipe is usually all it takes to keep them looking fresh. PVC windows are also very energy-efficient, often outperforming older wooden frames, and they're usually a more budget-friendly option upfront. They're pretty good at resisting rot, rust, and fading too.

​

• Aluminium frames are known for being incredibly strong and durable, allowing for thinner frames and larger glass panes, which means more natural light flooding into your space. They're also resistant to corrosion and don't warp, crack, or swell, making them very long-lasting with minimal upkeep. If you're going for a sleek, modern, or industrial look, aluminium often nails that aesthetic perfectly. They can also be very energy-efficient with thermal breaks.
