Why sash windows

Authentic traditional charm

Sash windows are built in a classic style which makes them great for conservation properties. If what you desire is a sash window with the maintenance-free feature of a uPVC window in a traditional design, then you will love our woodgrain option.

Practical

Not only are sash windows stylish, but they are also practical. Sash windows can be opened either at the bottom or top to let in more air. If you would like a more secure option, sash windows can be fitted with the restrictors which allow you to ventilate a room without having to open your windows completely. If you go with the uPVC option, your sash windows can be tilted inwards for easy cleaning and access.
