Our sliding sash windows are designed with the aesthetic of a traditional sash window with the the benefits of incorporating modern high technology security features:
- Engineered timber to minimise seasonal movement and timber wastage
- Double glazing to meet future energy saving requirements, (part L,2013)
- Low maintenance high performance finishes
This, together with the high performance weather seal, minimizes heat loss and reduces drafts which in turn saves energy. This combination also reduces noise.
The windows are available with or without glazing bars and are available in standard sizes or can be made-to-measure. Detailed drawings to illustrate your exact requirements are available on request.
Arched or curved windows are available along with various options for bay windows.

Finishing
- Our high performance paints and stains will maximize the life of your windows allowing maximum duration between maintenance.
- Unlike re-painting in the past the re-application of finish does not require laborious scraping and sanding. Modern micro-porous paint systems allow the timber to breathe preserving the integrity of the wood. When the time comes a light sanding over the window will provide a key to reapply the top coat.
