The sliding sash windows was originally created for highly practical reasons.

It is one of the few windows that can be opened, for ventilation or easy cleaning, without obstructing the exterior, for example a pavement or walkway.

It is no wonder that the vertical sliding sash window has remained a favourite design with builders and homeowners for centuries.

All window styles can include features such as arched head top sashes and bay windows

The replacement of traditional timber sash windows with the new PVC-u version eliminates all the common problems associated with timber framed sliding sash windows.
