Sliding Sash Bay Window
If you are looking to replace traditional sliding sash windows we can supply new double glazed, fully finished timber sash windows to your requirement. We manufacture windows to match the design and detailing of your existing sash windows to ensure the new windows remain in keeping with the original design of the building. We can produce Georgian, Edwardian, Victorian sash and any traditional sash windows you might require.
Timber sash windows are the most traditional of window designs. We can supply it as a box sash with lead counterweights or the more modern sprung balance sliding sash using a solid frame. Casements can be fitted with double or single glazing incorporating a Georgian glazing bar. Each timber sash window is assembled by hand to ensure a quality unit, and fitted with weather gaskets to the parting bead and staff beads; this will improve acoustic and thermal performance.
The sliding sash was the uPVC window of its day and often made by the carpenters on site when a property was being built. The original windows used to have very little in the way of draught seals and this, along with the single glazing, could be cold and therefore suffer from condensation. Our box sash windows maintain the overall appearance of traditional windows but with all the advantages of modern weather seals, double glazing and secure locking.
When fitting sliding sash windows into new build properties, or replacing original windows it is well worth considering a sprung balance sash window. This looks just the same as a traditional box sash window but without the side boxes containing the lead counter weights. Instead we use a stainless steel spiral that is fixed to the side of the casement and acts in the same way as the lead weights. This is easy to maintain, comes with a 10 year guarantee and gives a nice smooth action.
