Sash Windows
Sash windows are a classic and traditional style of window that have been popular for centuries. They are made up of two movable sashes, or panels, that slide up and down vertically within a frame. Sash windows are often found in older buildings, but they are still used in new construction and are a popular choice for homeowners who want to add character and charm to their homes. One of the main benefits of sash windows is their classic and elegant appearance. They are often made from wood, which gives them a warm and natural look, and can be designed to match the style of your home.
Another benefit of sash windows is their versatility. They can be made to fit any size opening and can be fitted with single or double glazing for added insulation and noise reduction. Sash windows can also be designed to tilt inwards for easy cleaning, making maintenance a breeze.
Sash windows are also highly energy-efficient. Their design allows for excellent ventilation and natural airflow, which helps to regulate temperature and reduce energy bills. In addition, they can be fitted with weatherstripping and draft-proofing to further improve their energy efficiency.
Finally, sash windows are a long-lasting investment. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for decades and add value to your home.
Overall, sash windows are a beautiful and practical choice for homeowners who want a classic and timeless window that is energy-efficient and low-maintenance.
We specialize in the installation and customization of both uPVC sash windows and wooden sash windows. Our expertise covers a wide range of materials, ensuring that we can cater to your preferences and provide you with the perfect solution for your home or project.
uPVC Sash Windows
Stylish, secure and energy efficient vertical sliders to suit every type of home!
Vertical sliders are a traditional style of window. Commonly found in older properties, they are usually manufactured from timber. This elegant type of window is a popular replacement in period houses, its design giving your home a sophisticated charm and style that you won’t achieve from a standard casement window. Real timber windows can be expensive so homeowners look to more affordable solutions such as uPVC. ECOSlide uPVC sash windows are thermally efficient and environmentally friendly which imitate the charm of a classic timber vertical slider, but have all the benefits of a modern uPVC system, giving you the best of both worlds. Whether you live in an older property or a more modern home, ECOSlide uPVC sash windows are a cost-effective solution for replacing like for like replacement or as an alternative to other styles. We can even install splay and 90° bay styles. Choose from a range of colour and hardware options to complete your window and create a look that fits in perfectly with your home.
Authentic Sash Details
It’s the little details that make ECOSlide sash windows as authentic as possible.
ECOSlide PVC-U sash windows are as authentic-looking as possible, featuring slim profile sections with design aesthetics which are pleasing to the eye as well as offering improved views from the inside and outside.
Our windows incorporate the same stylish features found on original timber sash windows such as Astragal glazing bars, decorative sash horns and traditional-style operating hardware. The jambs, sash sections and meeting rail are all engineered to look just like an original timber sash window.

Sash Window Styles
Windows to suit all applications, from traditional styles to contemporary designs.
ECOSlide windows are available in a range of popular sash window design styles to provide 21st century modern replacements for original windows, including splayed and 90o box bay-style windows. We can also manufacture bespoke units in eye-catching architectural shapes such as True Arch, Gothic Arch and Swept Head windows. Transom drops are 50/50 split as standard. Other transom drops can be manufactured to order, but the transom drop will be determined by the grid layout.
Other additional design options are available with internal Georgian glazing bars or external Astragal glazing bars.
Tilt & Easy Clean Function
Low maintenance ECOSlide PVC-U sash windows only require a quick wipe down with a damp cloth to keep them looking as good as new. The window sashes feature an inward opening tilt facility to allow easy and safe cleaning of the outside frame and glass from inside the building. This is particularly useful for multi-storey windows or windows positioned in hard to reach places.
Colour & Foil Finishes
Note: Colours shown are a guide only
ECOSlide sash windows are available in White and Cream solid PVC-U profile colour options.
For a more natural wood effect, our Crystal White, Cream, Golden Oak and Irish Oak foils applied to both outside and inside surfaces give a realistic woodgrain appearance that mimics the grained texture and appearance of an original timber window.
We also offer as standard Colour-on-White options in Chartwell Green, Anthracite Grey, Rosewood, Black Brown, Cream, Golden Oak and Irish Oak. These dual-colour options provide homeowners with customer choice. For example, a characterful external colour can be selected for the external window faces, whilst maintaining a White interior finish to suit internal decoration schemes.
Wooden Sash Windows
Wooden sash windows are characterised by their up-down opening method. Both sashes are placed on rails, enabling sliding of both the lower and upper sash. These windows can also be divided asymmetrically as per your preference.
Cultural and practical conditions in European regions have led to a preference for windows that open to the outside or slide up and down. The strong and constantly blowing wind presses the window against the frame, allowing windows that open outward to be easily closed and securely sealed. The sash (up-down) system also helps save space inside the room.
Our windows are manufactured using glued 3-layer pine, oak, or red meranti wood, and we can accommodate other types of wood based on client requests.
We always consider the suggestions and requirements of our clients, taking into account the specific needs of foreign markets.
All necessary elements of window fittings are individually discussed and agreed upon with each client.
