Types of Sliding Sash Windows We Offer
Double-Hung The classic design where both upper and lower sashes are operational, sliding vertically within the frame. This provides maximum ventilation control, allowing you to open from the top, bottom, or both simultaneously. These windows offer authentic traditional appearance with full functionality.
Single-Hung Featuring a fixed upper sash and operational lower sash, these windows maintain the traditional aesthetic with a simpler mechanism. With fewer moving parts, they offer a cost-effective solution while preserving the characteristic appearance of period properties.
Victorian Style Distinguished by their decorative sash horns and typically featuring larger glass panes with fewer divides, Victorian sash windows add distinctive character to period properties. Our craftsmen faithfully reproduce all the defining features that made Victorian windows so coveted.
Georgian Style Characterised by multiple smaller panes in each sash, often in “six-over-six” configurations, Georgian windows offer classic symmetrical appearance and traditional charm. Our authentic reproductions capture the elegance of this historical period.

Benefits of Sliding Sash Windows
Authentic Craftsmanship Available throughout London, each window is handmade one of our three British workshops by skilled craftsmen using traditional joinery techniques. We pay meticulous attention to period details, enhancing your property’s character and value.
Material & Construction Quality Our sliding sash windows are crafted from premium Scandinavian kiln-dried redwood, selected for its exceptional strength, stability, and resistance to warping. This superior timber ensures your windows maintain their appearance and functionality for decades.
Modern Performance While maintaining traditional aesthetics, our windows incorporate modern innovations like double glazing, weatherproof seals, and smooth operating mechanisms that meet or exceed current building standards.
Superior Ventilation Control The unique sliding design allows precise control over airflow. Open the top for warm air release, the bottom for cool air intake, or both for maximum circulation, with optional restrictors for secure ventilation.
Enhanced Security Our sliding sash windows feature robust locking mechanisms and reinforced meeting rails, with modern security features discreetly integrated without compromising traditional appearance.
