Sliding Box Sash Windows Sliding box sash windows are perfect for a traditional look as they date back to Victorian and Georgian times. As well as their appealing look they are extremely practical as they are well suited to wet and cold weather conditions. Their unique vertical sliding function allows the window to be opened without letting too much heat out or any rain in. Sash windows are designed with sturdy frames made from high quality materials, this means they are less susceptible to rot and distortion.

Sliding box sash windows can be custom made with soft or hardwood and painted or stained in a variety of finishes. Throughout Georgian times, oak was the most popular type of timber used for sash windows. During the Georgian period, sash windows were often seen on the rear of many buildings, the Victorians however placed them on the front of their homes, making them a central focus to the character of their buildings. Traditional Victorian box sash windows often had lavish curved designs with intricate mouldings and latticework to make the exterior of their homes look beautiful.
