Sash windows in Turkey Street

The housing in Turkey Street is largely interwar semis and terraces, with some post-war houses and 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.

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.

Many of these houses still have their first-generation double glazing, which is now past its best. Homes near the A10 or the Hertford Road can get traffic noise, and acoustic glass helps. Most replacements here do not need planning permission. Our Edmonton factory is about 4 miles south.

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.
