Sash windows in W3

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.

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.

Few places have as many railways, with the Elizabeth line, Central line, District and Piccadilly lines and the Overground all passing through, along with the A40 Western Avenue and Uxbridge Road. Acoustic glazing is often requested. Acton is about 11.1 miles from our Edmonton factory, and we plan visits to fit around the traffic.

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.

• Traditional look with modern weather sealing
• Matched to original proportions and glazing bars
• Fewer draughts and rattles than worn originals
