Bespoke Sash Window Suppliers Bristol

Our bespoke work allows us to adapt each project to match the client. If you want something cost-effective but high-quality, we can come up with an arrangement that will suit both sides of the deal.
We can also help create very specific sash windows that match a particular visual style. For example, we can construct window sashes that perfectly match with nearby French doors or find an ideal kind of timber to match the timber wood used in other parts of your property.

Types Of Sash Windows We Offer

Sliding sash windows can come in multiple versions in Bristol, both vertically-sliding and horizontally-sliding.

Box Sash Windows

A box sash is the most basic of sash windows. These are simple two-pane windows with no extra flair, making them a very convenient and reliable choice. They offer a lot of visibility (unless you are using frosted glass) and are incredibly customisable.

Spring Sash Windows

Spring sliding sash windows are spring-loaded rather than using a weight, making them easier to open. This allows the design to stay slimmer than box sash windows but without losing any of the high-performance benefits that regular sash windows would have.

Georgian Sash Windows

Georgian windows have six-over-six designs, meaning that they have six pane segments on each window. This does not impact the performance benefits or durability of the frame or glass in any meaningful way.

Victorian Sash Windows

Victorian sash windows have a two-over-two design, which means two sections on each pane. Like before, this is mostly cosmetic.

Edwardian Sash Windows

Edwardian sash windows are six-over-two, which can lead to multiple creative configurations with the different sections of pane.

Sash Window Frame Materials

The materials used in sliding sash windows will change a lot about the cost, durability and overall style of the end product.

UPVC Sash Windows

uPVC sash windows are meant to replace wood windows. They are low-maintenance and excellent for saving on energy bills through insulation and offer a range of colours and finishes compared to standard wood frames. This is usually the most common range you will find.

Aluminium Sash Windows

Aluminium sash windows are more expensive than uPVC sash windows but are also stronger and more secure, making them a great high-performance window for people who want extra security.

The frame is also recyclable and is much more low-maintenance than wood.

Composite Sash Windows

Composite sash windows are made of a combination of wood and aluminium. This retains the visual style of wood and the benefits of aluminium, making it a good compromise between both. However, they are more expensive than uPVC sliding sash windows.

Timber Sash Windows

Wood timber sash windows can last longer than uPVC sash windows if maintained properly. These timber windows are popular as part of classic homes, but a wood timber sash also requires more attention to detail. Modern finishes help eliminate the vulnerability of timber itself.

Sash Window Glass Types

There are two major glass options available for sash windows. Outliers, like acoustic glass, are specialist options that can be rolled into other types or designs.

Clear Glass

Clear glass offers less privacy without curtains or blinds but also gives you more visibility of the outside world. This is best used in windows and doors that you can cover easily or in less-personal areas of your home.

Frosted Glass

Frosted glass offers more privacy at the cost of visibility. This is often used in doors or windows near a front door, as well as in bathrooms and some bedrooms.
