Typically, they feature a six over two pane configuration, with the upper sash divided into six smaller panes and the lower sash consisting of two larger panes. This arrangement allows for ample natural light while maintaining a sense of proportion and elegance. The windows are often taller and wider than their Victorian predecessors, reflecting the Edwardian preference for bright, airy interiors.

The materials used in constructing Edwardian sash windows were of the highest quality. Timber, particularly pine or hardwoods like oak, was the material of choice, selected for its durability and aesthetic appeal. The craftsmanship involved in creating these windows was exceptional, with attention paid to every detail, from the joinery to the glazing.

Double Glazed Sash Window FAQ’s

Can Sash Windows be Double Glazed?

Modern sash windows can be double glazed, but if you are in a listed building or conservation area where you are not allowed to replace your sash windows with double glazing, you can look at applying secondary glazing to your London property.

What Colours Do Sash Windows Come in?

uPVC sash windows are available in both a selection of block colours such as Cream, Chartwell Green, Grey, Smooth White, Black, and White, and woodgrain foils such as Irish Oak, Cherrywood, and Golden Oak. Woodgrain coloured sash windows can easily replicate the traditional wood appearance.

How Can I Improve the Security of My Sash Windows?

All of our uPVC sash windows come equipped with state of the art key locking mechanisms and are more secure than the classic timber sash windows. Sash catches will secure the bottom sash, while sash stops allow the windows to be opened partially for ventilation with little room for unwanted visitors. We offer different glazing options which will also help.

How Can I Soundproof my Sash Windows?

Whilst we offer double glazing with our sash windows, the best way to soundproof your existing sash windows is with secondary glazing. We offer secondary glazing installations that will reduce the noise pollution of your home, helping to keep loud and unwanted noises from affecting your everyday life.
