What is a uPVC Sliding Sash Window?

A uPVC sliding sash window is a type of window that combines traditional design elements with modern materials and functionality. Their key features are:

• uPVC: This is a type of plastic that’s durable, low-maintenance, and resistant to weathering, unlike traditional timber frames. It’s commonly used for window frames because it doesn’t warp, rot, or require regular painting like wood.
• Sliding Sash: The term “sash” refers to the movable part of a window, which holds the glass. In a sliding sash window, the sashes (the frames that hold the glass) slide vertically to open or close the window. This is different from a hinged window, where the sashes open outward.
• Design: uPVC sliding sash windows are designed to mimic the classic look of traditional timber sash windows, often seen in Victorian or Georgian homes. They offer the elegance of the traditional sliding window but without the upkeep associated with wooden frames.

Sliding sash windows are a desirable feature of many period properties. The traditional timber slide and sash windows are highly convenient and space-saving, but they also have their drawbacks. Unfortunately, old-fashioned timber sash windows are prone both to draughts and rot and are inherently insecure.

Energy Efficiency

The first significant benefit to upgrading traditional sash windows to modern double glazed units is the significantly improved energy efficiency. Double glazing minimises heat transfer through the units, while the uPVC used in creating the frames is a naturally sound insulator. All our uPVC double glazed sash windows achieve an A energy rating as standard.

Security

Our modern sliding sash windows also bring security advantages, helping you feel safer in your own home. All our sliding sash windows have a multi-point locking system and much stronger glazing than your existing windows. High security locks are far harder to break, as is the uPVC frame itself.

Low Maintenance

uPVC sliding sash windows offer enhanced durability and reduced maintenance compared to their wooden cousins. The uPVC sash window frames are far more resistant to warping, fading and rotting, while their smooth surface makes them really easy to clean with just soap and water. Also, modern uPVC sash windows feature smooth sliding mechanisms to make operating the actual windows far easier.

Kerb Appeal

The traditional style of sliding sash windows can be a sought-after feature for prospective home-buyers and brings enhanced kerb appeal. With our customisation options and range of colours, you can achieve the look and feel for your home that you desire, wowing guests and passers-by all the time. And with our new uPVC windows offering many benefits compared to old timber windows, your property’s value may well increase.
