Timber Sash Window Companies in the UK

Style Survives the Centuries

Sash windows have been around since the 17th century and remain an important and attractive feature of period properties across the country. They are also sometimes specified for new builds. The window’s two-section sliding design provides efficient cooling during hot weather.

At one time, the advantages of good looks had to be balanced against potential problems of sticking mechanisms due to distorted wood or poorly applied paint; or rattling windows due to timber shrinkage. Now, however, quality timber sash windows are available that meet modern energy efficiency and security requirements without compromising on aesthetics.

Although uPVC sash windows are available, for many older properties this is not an option. Even where there are no planning obstacles to consider, many homeowners appreciate the attractiveness and environmental appeal of timber and will have nothing else.

Sash windows in engineered softwood or hardwood, carefully crafted by skilled joiners, will provide the right look that lasts for decades. High performance double glazed and single glazed wooden sash windows are available in varying styles, including Georgian and Victorian.

Products include sash windows, box sash windows and historic box sash windows. Many firms offer a bespoke service, meaning that original windows can be faithfully replicated and non-standard sizes can be supplied.
