Sliding Sash Windows

Modern uPVC Sliding Sash Windows are an excellent choice for new-build properties or for replacing draughty, weathered timber windows.

Our uPVC Sliding Sash Windows are crafted from high-quality materials with multiple internal chambers, enhancing thermal efficiency and sound insulation. Combined with steel reinforcement, these windows provide strength, stability, and long-lasting security, delivering a warm, low maintenance, and highly secure solution for your home.

Benefits of Sliding Sash Windows

Each of our uPVC Sliding Sash Windows is made to measure, manufactured to the specific requirements of your project. To complement the character of your property, you can choose to include vertical or horizontal glazing bars, creating a look that suits both traditional and contemporary homes.

When choosing your windows, you can choose whether one or both sashes slide up and down. For added convenience, an optional tilt function makes it easy to clean your windows safely and conveniently from inside your home, combining practicality with classic design. You can also include a deep bottom rail and authentic run-through sash horns within your window design, to closely replicate a classic wooden sash window.

What Colour Hardware for Sliding Sash Windows

Handles and coordinating hardware are available in an elegant selection of finishes, including White, Chrome, Satin Chrome, Black, Black Nickel, Antique Gold, Rose Gold, and Gold, allowing you to achieve the perfect finishing touch for your sash windows.

For enhanced security and complete peace of mind, each window is fitted with a locking cam catch in a matching finish. This ensures a cohesive look throughout your home while providing reliable protection and security.

Sliding Sash Window Ventilation

Sliding Sash Windows provide excellent ventilation for your home. When both sashes are open, warm, stale air escapes through the top while cool, fresh air enters through the bottom, creating a natural and effective airflow.

We can also incorporate discreet trickle vents at the top of your window. These allow a continuous flow of fresh air, helping to maintain good indoor air quality and reduce the risk of condensation.
