Counter-balanced and opening vertically, the sash window started as a solution and rose to become one of the most significant designs of British architecture. Symmetrical and allowing light to flood in, sash windows are associated predominantly with Georgian & Victorian properties, but remained popular right through the Edwardian period up until the outbreak of the First World War.

This FAQ section covers the most common questions about our sash windows.
Unlike casement windows, the differences between sash windows are more nuanced and often reflect the various trends and other factors of the time. Georgian sash windows can be spotted due to their many glazing bars creating multiple rectangles which was in part due to the limits on glass-making technology but also because it was a symbol of wealth, as having very large windows with lots of glass showed you were not duly concerned with the window tax of the day. Victorian sash windows are characterised by ornate details such as sash horns, stained glass and elaborate mouldings, and perhaps more noticeably, much larger panes of glass and less glazing bars thanks to advancements in glass-making technology, whereas Edwardian sash windows combined the design and ethos of both periods.
With our wealth of knowledge our team of experts will help you choose the right sash window for you and your home. All of our timber sash windows are completely bespoke and can be designed to suit any period property. From the inside, the choice is yours: you can keep things traditional with cords and classic sash fasteners, add the juxtaposition of a more modern feeling chain or opt for a cleaner and more simplified aesthetic with our hidden spring system.
All of our bespoke sash windows are constructed using sustainably sourced FSC® Certified wood. The timber goes through an extensive process, honed in Scandinavia, before it is used to construct your windows. All of our timber is kiln dried, planed and free of any defects such as knots. Each piece is then glued and laminated together to create an Engineered Timber. It is these incredibly strong and stable sections which are then used to make your sash windows.
