Sliding sash windows with cords&weights are based on a traditional system that has been used for centuries in English homes. The opening mechanism relies on cords and counterbalancing steel or lead weights, allowing the sashes to glide smoothly up and down.

This tried-and-true solution retains an authentic look, which is especially important in heritage and period properties.
We manufacture these windows from a variety of timber types, ensuring longevity and a timeless appearance – particularly when paired with details faithful to original Victorian design.

Thanks to our extensive expertise and advanced manufacturing technologies, we offer sliding sash windows in several frame thicknesses to suit the architectural style of your home.

Available profiles:

• sliding sash with 145 mm frame and 44 mm or 56 mm sash (particularly recommended for conservation areas and listed buildings),
• sliding sash with 150 mm frame and 50 mm sash,
• sliding sash with 165 mm frame and 56 mm or 68 mm sash.

All systems can accommodate a wide range of glazing options –  from single glass (4/6 mm), slimline units (12/14 mm) and double or triple glazing, to state-of-the-art vacuum-insulated LandVac™ glass.

Each of our windows features a carefully designed and tested sealing system to ensure high energy efficiency and long-lasting performance.
This way, you get the charm of traditional joinery with the performance and thermal standards of the 21st century.
