All About Sash Windows

Traditional sash windows are beautiful things. Practical to use, and often flooding a room with fresh air and light. However, if your home still has original timber sash windows you may well be familiar with the downsides of them in a contemporary context. When you’re looking to be warm, snug, and secure in your home, as well as controlling your energy use and expenditure, it’s hard to say that period sash windows are ticking these boxes.

Sash windows, with their elegant design and classic charm, have been a beloved feature of British architecture for centuries. Whether gracing a Georgian townhouse or a modern home, these windows bring a touch of timeless beauty that is hard to match.

In 2025 the Future Homes Standard will be introduced to compliment building regulations. This is to ensure that new homes produce 75-80% less carbon emissions that homes delivered under the old regulations. As is typical in the window and door industry, standards that are initially introduced for new homes, soon play a part in determining the required standards for replacement projects in existing homes.

Here at Barnet Window Company we specialise in replacement sash windows. Our longstanding relationship with Masterframe as a Premier Partner gives us access to a wide range of products that vary in how closely they are designed to look and feel like an original sash window, so you can be sure that we can propose a solution to suit your tastes and budget.
