Sash windows in Bow

Homes in Bow are mostly Georgian and Victorian terraces, post-war estates and new-build flats. In conservation areas and on listed buildings, councils may insist on timber sashes or repair rather than replacement, so check with the planning team before choosing materials.

Victorian and Edwardian terraces often have two-over-two or one-over-one sashes with horns, and matching that pattern exactly keeps the front elevation consistent with neighbouring houses. Newer homes built in a traditional style sometimes have mock sashes, and genuine sliding sashes can replace them where you want a more authentic opening action.

Noise is the main issue for many homes here. Bow Road, the Bow Flyover and the A12 carry heavy traffic, so acoustic glazing or secondary glazing is worth considering for rooms on those sides. From our Edmonton factory we are about 5.6 miles away, which keeps surveys and fitting days simple.

Sliding sash windows open vertically and give period homes their familiar look, with balanced sashes, horns and glazing bars. We make replacement sash windows to match original proportions, suiting owners of Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian properties who want better insulation and security without losing traditional character.

• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
• Smooth vertical sliding operation
