Common Questions

When choosing the perfect window type for your property, it is vital to understand the various advantages and benefits of each specific window type. The main benefit of installing box sash windows is the fact they are low maintenance.

They also prove time and time again to be very energy efficient and provide a cost saving for you as the homeowner. They deliver a natural insulating impact to your property, with specifically improved thermal insulation included.

Sustainability

A significant factor when deciding on your type of window or when considering any home enhancement comes down to its sustainability.

Will it last for years to come? Will it provide value for money? Needless to say, you also consider the environmental impact that such a decision would make.

With this in mind, the majority of wooden sash windows are made from pine trees, which grow at a fast rate, originating from sustainably managed forests.

For every tree that is cut down, a new tree is planted in its place. A great example where choosing good, ethical materials and services actually does good for the planet!

To add to their sustainability, they are also incredibly energy eﬃcient (A-rated), giving you a cost saving over time on energy bills, another reason they truly are a cost-saving investment to your home.

By upholding the heritage and original features of your property, whilst also ensuring its sustainability in a respectful way, you can take comfort in knowing this is the right decision for you and your home.

Classical Elegance in a Modern Setting

A cornerstone of British architectural history, sash windows have continued to add sophistication and style to buildings for years. Since the 17th century, sash windows have appeared in royal palaces and prominent heritage buildings such as Hampton Court, Chatsworth House, and Kensington Palace.

Wooden sash windows were seen as a pioneer of fashion, and the trend swept across Britain, with popularity flourishing into the 20th century. They have stood the test of time partly due to their practicality. Historically they closed to a narrower gap than hinged alternatives, helping to keep the rain out and preventing the risk of rot.

Their rise to popularity was also due to the sash window's visual appeal, and their compactness taking up the same space open or closed, compared to hinged varieties, which required space to swing in or outwards.

A Sash combines both functionalities with beautiful style and class.

Improved and Adapted Over Time

Pioneers of Georgian architecture fully enclosed the sash movement, even adding to the design by adjusting the fixed top to the more modern two-moveable sashes.

Glass manufacture improved, and panes became larger in size, with the Georgian style of six-by-six becoming gradually fashionable (as you can see, they are still incredibly popular today).

The Victorians took the design of the box sash window further, focusing on elaborate details and incorporating decorative features such as horns, latticework, and mouldings into the structures.

In more modern times, box sash windows have continued to evolve, embracing improvements such as double glazing without sacrificing their classic look.
