What is a Sliding Sash Timber Window?
Sliding Sash windows feature two window sashes that are positioned vertically with one in front of the other and are often seen in period and heritage properties but can also add an element of luxury to new home renovations.
Smooth opening and closing
Our most popular wooden sash windows feature a spiral balance system - a concealed spring-loaded mechanism - for smooth operation. However, we can also supply sash windows with a traditional cord weight and pulley system.
