Sash windows in Friern Barnet

Homes in Friern Barnet are mostly Edwardian and interwar semis, terraces and converted flats. Some 1920s houses have sash windows alongside bays, so note whether the bay sashes slide or are fixed before deciding how closely to match the original arrangement.

In mansion blocks, sash replacement is often controlled by the freeholder or managing agent, so get written approval of the glazing pattern and material before ordering. 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.

The North Circular runs along the southern edge, and properties near it hear heavy traffic day and night. Well-sealed frames with acoustic glass can make a real difference to sleep. Getting here from Edmonton is a straight run of about 5.1 miles along the A406, which keeps surveys and fitting 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.
