How sash windows can elevate your home

Modern finishes meet traditional style with classic sash windows.

For many period properties, sliding sash windows are the perfect finishing touch. Timeless and stylish, they have enduring popularity; however, if you have original sash windows, you may be aware that they can warp and become draughty over time. Although beautiful, the original timber designs require regular upkeep to prevent rot and keep them looking their best

If you’re keen to keep the appeal of a sash window without the high maintenance and poor thermal qualities, consider upgrading to its modern counterpart. Made from durable uPVC, it’s the ideal replacement for a beautiful yet functional window.

Today, uPVC sash windows have all the charm and character of their predecessors but are energy-efficient and built for the present.

At Clearglaze, our team of expert installers specialises in fitting uPVC sash windows in Bath, Bradford-upon-Avon and surrounding areas.

Low maintenance. Our high-performing uPVC doesn’t warp and uses the spring balance system, providing a smooth slide mechanism. An inbuilt tilt-in feature also means they can be accessed easily for cleaning and are ideal for upper-level windows.

Energy efficient. Traditional sash windows have a reputation for allowing heat to escape as the timber becomes affected by weather and rot. Our windows have A+ thermal efficiency and keep your home warm and cosy in the colder months. Other options include solar glass, which reduces glare and reflects heat to stop the space from overheating, and acoustic glass, which helps reduce road noise.

Enhanced security. You should always feel safe at home. Our sash windows are fitted with anti-jemmy bars, which prevent the window from being levered open. They also come with key-operated locks and limit stops, which restrict the window from being opened too far—ideal for children’s bedrooms. The standard double-glazed glass can be toughened and even etched for privacy.

Substance and style. Thanks to clever modern technology, natural woodgrain foil uPVC is indistinguishable from its original timber counterpart in terms of appearance and is perfect if you want to embrace a traditional timber feel. For a more modern look, choose from unlimited colour options and a selection of beautiful hardware. Our bespoke service means we can find window solutions that work for the most complex of spaces or keep simplicity where required.
