Sliding Sash Windows in Norwich & Norfolk

Our sash windows are a great alternative to traditional timber windows. They provide wooden style with modern security, thermal performance and weatherproofing. Windows Plus cater to homeowners across Sprowston, Wroxham, Catton, North Walsham, Norwich and Norfolk and North Suffolk.

These high performance sash windows beautifully echo the traditional appearance of timber windows. However, they don’t have the same need for maintenance. Unlike wooden windows, uPVC double glazing doesn’t become affected by the weather and age. As a result, you’ll be able to fit and forget your new double glazed windows. Just the occasional wipe of a cloth will keep them at their best.

While the look of these sash windows is traditional, the security and protection that they offer is modern. Featuring lockable catches within the profiles, these uPVC windows will prevent intruders from trying to enter your Norwich or further afield home.

Our sash windows come with 24mm double glazed units as standard and are manufactured with Low E glass, which regulates heat transfer through the glass, ensuring cooler interiors in summer and warmer ones in winter. There is an option to upgrade to toughened glass which is much harder to break and if it does break, it shatters into small, dull fragments, reducing the risk of injury. There is also an option of upgrading to laminated glass that offers enhanced safety and insulation benefits. It is thicker than standard glass and features a special interlayer that holds the glass fragments together in case of breakage.

Regarding the privacy solutions, you can choose an obscured glass option or for a more elegant look – integral blinds are the perfect option. Obscure glass features a textured or patterned surface that obscures visibility while still allowing light to pass through. Our obscure glass range offers 5 different privacy levels without sacrificing natural illumination. Integral blinds are a sleek and functional solution, seamlessly integrated within the double glazing of our windows and available in a range of 3 colours. They offer control over light and privacy, plus their enclosed design ensures protection from dust making them low maintenance.

We offer a range of finishes from smooth to woodgrain on our sliding sash windows, providing an authentic finish no matter the choice. Our extensive colour selection including our woodgrain options, have been specifically designed for exterior applications.

Run-Through Sash Horns

Add detail and a heritage style to your sliding sash windows with optional run-through sash horns. Our sash horns are seamlessly integrated into the window frame rather than applied as separate pieces for added authenticity.

Ovolo Shaped Profile

The ovolo-shaped profile features a classic and elegant curve, adding charm and character to our sash windows. Smooth lines improve aesthetics while also providing structural integrity and durability for long-lasting performance.

Timber-looking Joints

Replace the standard 45-degree welds with mechanical joints for added authenticity. Timber-looking joints expertly replicate the traditional appearance of hand-joined timber windows like in the olden days.

Standard Mitre Welds

Our standard 45-degree mitre welds create a smooth and strong connection at the corners, ensuring structural stability and a clean aesthetic finish.

Slim Midrail

Our sash windows look even more traditional than before with a new slim midrail, over 10mm slimmer than its standard counterpart, measuring just 37mm.

Deep Bottom Rail

Opting for a deeper bottom rail than our standard option subtly creates a more authentic appearance. A fully mechanical deep bottom rail offers a historical touch, echoing the design elements found in historic window styles such as Victorian sliding sashes.

Weatherbar

A weatherbar is an important part of traditional sash windows. It provides an extra barrier between the bottom rail and cill, but the ovolo shaped bar is primarily decorative, helping our windows look even more authentic.

Astragal Bars

Traditional windows were often made of individual panes of glass, but modern windows can effortlessly create the same effect with astragal bars fixed to the surface with spacer bars inside the double-glazed unit.

Slide & Tilt Functionality

Sash windows with a slide and tilt facility offer versatility in ventilation and cleaning. This innovative feature allows both sashes to tilt inwards for easy access to the exterior glass, making it easy to clean and maintain the windows. Please note the top sash does not tilt on windows with a different finish externally and internally e.g. woodgrain and smooth white.

Integrated Cill

The integrated cill fits seamlessly along the window's lower section, elevating its appearance and shielding against moisture by deflecting water from the frame. We provide two sizes for installations: 150mm for installation on an existing cill and 210mm where a projecting cill is required.

Trickle Vents

The changes made to Building Regs in 2022 state that trickle vents are required on almost all windows and doors. Our vents are colour matched to perfectly combine compliance and traditional aesthetics.

Woolpile

Woolpile strips provide a superb seal against rain and wind, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment. We use different coloured woolpile to ensure the strips complement the frame colour, providing a seamless aesthetic and ensuring every single window is perfectly finished.

Classic elegance and historical charm

Sliding sash windows are renowned for their classic elegance and historical charm, making them a popular choice for period properties and those looking to add a touch of traditional style to their homes.

These windows feature one or more movable panels, or "sashes," that slide vertically to open and close. This timeless design has been a staple in British architecture for centuries and continues to be appreciated for its aesthetic appeal. Whether installed in a Victorian townhouse or a Georgian cottage, sliding sash windows enhance the character and authenticity of any home.

Smooth operation and practicality

Modern sliding sash windows are designed for smooth operation and practicality, combining the beauty of traditional design with contemporary functionality.

High-quality materials and advanced engineering ensure that the sashes glide effortlessly within their frames, providing easy access to fresh air and natural light. Many models include features such as spring balances or cords and weights to facilitate seamless movement. Additionally, sliding sash windows can be fitted with tilt-in sashes, allowing for easy cleaning of both the interior and exterior surfaces from inside the home. This practicality makes them a convenient option for busy homeowners.

Energy efficiency and security

While maintaining their classic look, modern sliding sash windows offer significant improvements in energy efficiency and security.

Double or triple glazing options are available to enhance thermal performance, reducing heat loss and helping to maintain a comfortable indoor environment year-round. The use of weatherstripping and high-quality seals further improves insulation and minimises drafts. In terms of security, contemporary sliding sash windows are equipped with robust locking mechanisms and reinforced frames to prevent unauthorised entry. These enhancements ensure that sliding sash windows provide not only aesthetic beauty but also the practical benefits of energy efficiency and home security.
