Timber sliding sash windows are suitable for replacements in historic listed buildings and conservation areas. Modern sash windows are also available for new contemporary buildings.Original sash windows consist of two glazed sashes, which slide vertically in a timber frame, supported by cords that are balanced with lead weights. In windows with spiral balances the sash can slide and tilt.Box sash windows usually have thin glazing bars, decorated with oval or lambs-tongue mouldings, and shutters were often positioned either side with similar detailing to provide security or warmth.We fit high quality balances: spiral and weights supplied from “UK Balance” and “Mighton”. In addition we can supply a range of linings, window boards and architraves in matching material.

Timber Sash Windows – Straight Slider

Timber Sash Windows – Straight Slider

The traditional vertical straight sliding window has been made for the last 300 years or more, in our window however, we have two modifications. One is that the sashes are operated by spiral balances as opposed to weights and pulleys, although these can be incorporated if required, (Albeit at an additional cost). The other is that we have applied up to date technology and design to the seals, on both the weatherproofing and sound insulation. The sashes are secured with a solid brass Fitch Fastener.

Timber Sash Windows – Slide & Tilt

Timber Sash Windows – Slide & Tilt

The Slide & Tilt window is the same as a vertical straight slider, but with tilt-in facility, primarily for cleaning purposes. This is only manufactured with spiral balances, operating within an aluminium channel. The sashes are again secured by a solid brass Fitch Fastener. Traditional handles cannot be an integral part of the sashes as they would impede the operational function of this window. We can however attach dummy handles.

Timber Sash Windows – Vari Vent

Timber Sash Windows – Vari Vent

The vari-vent window is what we consider to be the jewel in our crown. This is a window which we have designed and developed ourselves. To our knowledge we are the only company in the world that manufactures this window.Primarily it looks like a vertical straight slider, but for ease of use and to obtain maximum ventilation the top sash opens outwards on stainless steel friction stays while the bottom slides vertically and tilts inwards. The bottom sash is fitted with two 100mm brass slide bolts so that the bottom sash can be secured whilst the top sash is open. When completely closed, the sashes are secured by a brass locking casement fastener.

Traditional 

All of our sash window weights including lead, steel and stackable offer great value and are particularly cost effective. They’re also extremely practical as they can be used within, 95% of all sash windows, making them hugely popular.

Type D Balances

These are light duty, economical general purpose balances for domestic or commercial applications. They are manufactured in three weight groups suitable for sashes having glazed weights of up to 18.15Kg (40lbs) and service hatches up to 6.8Kg (15lbs). All ‘D’ type balances are adjustable within their weight range to suit actual glazed sash weights. A special adjustment tool is available. Where maximum assisted lift is necessary it is advisable to use ‘F’ type balances when sash weights exceed 17Kg (3.5lbs).

Type F,K and M Balances

These are heavy duty balances, purpose-made to suit actual sash weights. They incorporate a mechanical feature which, using a screw driver, allows for fine adjustment to be made on site, thus achieving accurate equilibrium with the sash. Subsequently, minimum effort is required to lift heavier installations. These balances are particularly recommended for retirement homes, hospitals or nursing homes.
