The beauty and charm of a traditional timber sliding sash window is something that is rarely questioned. Unique design brings character to many domestic and commercial properties alike, completing the traditional appearance that is so sought after.
The narrow sightlines, intricate profiles and period styling of sash windows have maintained their position as the premium window style throughout history and are still as practical as ever.
The decision to replace wooden windows often involves much deliberation as property owners are concerned about installing replacements that will destroy the character and charm of their home.
By combining traditional aesthetics with innovative design, George Barnsdale have developed a superior range of sliding sash windows. They offer all the benefits of modern double glazed windows whilst retaining the elegance and aesthetic detailing of the originals.
Key features of our timber sash windows include:
- A premium product manufactured from the finest materials and retaining traditional period features.
- Exceptional thermal performance as standard with an A rated option.
- Engineered timber providing excellent durability, all from FSC certified, sustainable sources.
- Market leading warranties with a 10 year paint guarantee as standard.
- Excellent weather performance with third party test validation.
The alternative for those people looking for a slimmer aesthetic or for historic properties that can’t have triple glazing is vacuum glass. Some planning authorities approve vacuum glass for buildings in conservation areas because they look like single glazing but perform as well as triple glazing.
In addition to the Traditional Range, George Barnsdale box sash and spiral balance sash windows are also available in the Historic Timber Windows Range. Narrow profiles and historic sash moulds with a range of glazing options allow the windows to meet the requirements of heritage, listed and conservation requirements. They also maintain the high performance standards of the traditional range, including the use of double glazed units.
