The Charm of Sash Windows

Sash windows have been a staple in British architecture since the 17th century. Characterised by their sliding mechanism, these windows consist of one or more movable panels, or “sashes,” that hold panes of glass. Their timeless design complements a variety of architectural styles, making them a versatile option for both period and contemporary homes in Marylebone.

Benefits of Sash Windows

Sash windows add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any home. Their classic design enhances the charm of Marylebone’s historical properties, maintaining the area’s unique character.

The sliding mechanism of sash windows allows for excellent ventilation control. You can open both the top and bottom sashes to create a convection flow, improving air circulation throughout your home.

Modern sash windows are equipped with double glazing, which significantly improves energy efficiency. This feature helps to keep your home warm in the winter and cool in the summer, reducing your energy bills.

Double and triple glazed sash windows also offer superior noise reduction, making them an ideal choice for homes in bustling Marylebone.

Marylebone is a bustling area, and noise can be a concern for many homeowners. Double-glazed sash windows provide effective sound insulation, helping to create a quieter and more peaceful living environment.

Contemporary sash windows come with advanced locking mechanisms, ensuring that your home is secure. Options such as key-operated locks and reinforced glass add an extra layer of protection.

Customisation Options

We understand that every home is unique, and so are its window requirements. Our customisation options ensure that your new double or triple glazed sash windows perfectly match your style and needs. Choose from a range of:

Timber Types

From engineered softwood to engineered hardwood, we offer various timber options to suit your preferences.

Finishes

We have a variety of colours available, typically using the RAL colour chart. However, should you find a colour from another brand, we are able to offer a colour matching service.

Hardware

Window hardware encompasses a diverse selection of both functional and decorative choices, tailored to suit any window or door style. Our options range from classic, traditional designs in Brass or Pewter, ideal for period properties, to sleek, modern styles in stainless steel or chrome, perfect for contemporary homes. This extensive range allows you to personalise your triple glazed sash windows and casement windows to seamlessly blend with your interior décor while ensuring durability and practicality.

Architectural Styles

In terms of historical eras, we typically provide windows that are suitable for various architectural styles. For Elizabethan and Tudor homes from the 16th century, casement style windows are commonly used. Stuart and Jacobean properties from the 17th century also feature casement style windows. Georgian homes from the 18th to early 19th century are characterised by sash windows with plenty of glazing bars. Regency homes from the early 19th century exhibit sash windows with various styles between Georgian and Victorian. Victorian homes from the 19th century often feature sash windows with much more glass and fewer glazing bars. Edwardian homes from the early 20th century showcase varying designs of sash windows and casement windows.
