Crafted Sliding Sash Windows

Our bespoke sliding sash timber windows have a traditional character, charm and beauty, which blends well with old style properties and adds a classic elegance to modern homes

These finely crafted windows can be internally or externally beaded according to preference and can be further customised with a wide range of period details including stylish arched frames, decorative bars and various horns and hardware options. We offer a choice of two distinct opening systems to suit your home and lifestyle:

  • Cords and Weights – a very traditionally styled pulley mechanism often found in old houses, with the old-fashioned heavy- duty cords and weights within the box frame.
  • Spiral balance – an easy-to-use mechanism with pre-tensioned springs concealed within the timber frames, ideal for smaller reveals in more confined areas.

Opening Functions

Used extensively in Britain since the seventeenth century, sash windows can add charm to any building, old or new. Achieve a truly stunning classical effect with a window operated by cords & weights. The sashes slide up and down using traditional pulleys with heavy duty cords and weights. Simplex fittings can be fitted to the bottom sash, allowing it to open on butterfly hinges to facilitate cleaning.

Ideal for smaller reveals. Combining period style with modern technology, spiral balance sash windows are a great alternative for smaller reveals. The sashes slide by means of partially hidden pre-tensioned springs, with a smooth, easy-to-use mechanism that’s simply a joy to operate!

A 22 mm bar profile is then bonded to both sides of the window. Glazing beads and the 22 mm bar profile are made from a timber composite material, which offers the natural appearance and look of timber whilst remaining stable and rot free.
