uPVC
uPVC replicate the look and feel of traditional timber box sash windows but offer superior thermal efficiency, significantly lower maintenance, increased weather protection and improved home security.
Timber
This is an older style of box sash windows that uses heavy wood timber for the window frames. It is typically more expensive and heavier than uPVC and requires more maintenance.
Double-Glazed
Double-glazing refers to the choice of glass panes that are inserted into windows. Double glazing is an eco-friendly option for reducing your energy consumption and costs, as well as noise reduction and improved security.
Triple-Glazed
If you live in a noisy area, the significant noise reduction benefits of triple-glazed box sash windows may be reason enough to go for this option. Other benefits of triple-glazing include thermal efficiency and reduced condensation.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a box sash window?
Also called ‘sash and case’ windows or ‘hung sash’ windows, box sash windows have one or more sliding panels which each contain a pane of glass. In most cases, each frame has two sashes that both slide vertically, giving you the option of an opening at the top or bottom of the frame (or both). It’s ideal for ventilating a room as it allows hot air to escape and cooler air to be drawn in from outside for effective airflow.
Should I replace with uPVC?
Wooden sash windows look stunning but require ongoing maintenance and are prone to letting in the elements. Unfortunately, repairs are costly and often only temporary. A good alternative is to replace them with uPVC box sash windows for a solution that is more durable, completely weatherproof and can be customised to closely mirror the finish of a wooden box sash window.
What is the difference between box sash windows and sliding sash windows?
The difference between the two is mechanical, as aesthetically, the two window types look the same. With a box sash window, the vertical window box contains a system of pulleys and ropes, which make it easy to lift the sashes. They’re often used for larger windows. Sliding sash windows use spiral balances, a simple mechanism that uses springs instead of pulleys and ropes.
Explore Your Window Options
Being a popular option (and for a good reason), the ideal solution will depend on where you will be using them. Other popular window systems include:
Flush Sash Windows
Flush sash (or flush casement windows) finish flush with the external window face so that, when closed, the window sash creates an even contour for an elegant aesthetic. They’re a popular choice for contemporary projects as they offer a simpler, smoother design.

Sliding Sash Windows
Sliding sash windows are often the best choice for decks, patios and other areas where an outward opening sash would get in the way. Often referred to as gliders or sliders, these windows typically refer to horizontal sliding windows and vertical sliding windows. They have a minimalist aesthetic as well as excellent functionality and require less maintenance than other styles.

Vertical Sliders
Vertical sliding windows use a similar opening mechanism to horizontal sliding windows. Options include single-hung and double-hung windows and are a popular option for bathrooms and bedrooms.
