Traditional timber box sash windows are marvels of Georgian and Victorian engineering that have graced British homes for over 400 years. These elegant, functional windows consist of numerous precisely crafted components working in harmony to create smooth operation and lasting durability. Understanding the anatomy of a sash window is essential whether you’re restoring period windows,…
The Specialist in Traditional Sash Windows team has over 200 years of combined experience installing and restoring Edwardian sash windows for customers across London, the Home Counties, and the South East. Our wooden sash windows and box frames are built to order from our workshop in Guildford and installed by our experienced specialist fitters.
As part of our commitment to sustainable production, we exclusively use high-quality timber for our Edwardian sash windows. We NEVER use uPVC plastic for our frames, the manufacture of which uses eight times more energy than timber windows. In particular, we specialise in Accoya timber for our sash windows: a beautiful, natural wood that is vastly more durable and sustainable than plastic alternatives.
Our work is fully guaranteed, with up to a 50-year timber warranty against rot for added peace of mind.
The benefits of installing new Edwardian sash windows:
- Restore the elegant, light-filled look distinctive of Edwardian homes and add value to your property
- Maintain the character of your house. We always ensure compliance with listed building regulations
- Replace warped, jammed, or difficult-to-open window frames
- Improve heat retention and reduce draughts with traditionally crafted timber frames
- Upgrade to the latest in window technology and security (our supplied security locks are insurance-approved & child safe)
- Improve airflow and smooth operation with expertly balanced sashes
- Reduce noise through the use of acoustic safety glass

- Timber: While we exclusively use wood for our traditional sash windows, you can choose from several timber options, including grade A redwood (a softwood) and our most popular, long-lasting, and durable Accoya timber.
- Glazing: Options include Double Glazing, Acoustic Glass, Toughened Safety Glass, Laminated Safety Glass, and Sandblasted (Satin) Glass. For bathroom or speciality windows, we can install patterned panes from specialist suppliers such as Barron Glass & Pilkington Glass.
