The sliding sash window, often referred to as a ‘Georgian window’, reflecting the period when this style reached the peak of popularity, is a classic window design.

• The sliding sash window profile has a ‘multi chamber’ design, for extra strength and thermal efficiency.
• The profiles are fabricated into windows either by mechanical fixing or by a specialist welding process. Both methods are equally secure and effective.
• It is extensively tested for air and water permeability to ensure it withstands the demands of the temperate climate. The careful use of seals, draughtproofing strips and drainage slots ensures this is a high performance window.

The traditional timber sliding sash window brings a number of problems. So it was no surprise that many saw the replacement of timber sliding sash windows with new PVC-u versions as an easy choice. It took the latest computer aided 3D design systems, plus considerable investment to achieve the necessary combination of a slim, but strong and durable, frame.

It has a timeless elegance and beautiful proportions which enhance the appearance of almost any home - period or modern, town or country. It is one of the few windows that can be opened, for ventilation or easy cleaning, without obstructing the exterior, for example a pavement or walkway.

It is no wonder that the vertical sliding sash window has remained a favourite design with builders and homeowners for centuries. Of course, the Classic New Era window is not the least expensive window you can find. If price is the sole criteria then, to be honest, this is not the window for you.

Yet if you are a discerning householder, determined to reflect your standards, isn’t your home worth it? If your home has listed building status, is in a conservation area, or covered by any other planning regulation or legal covenant, you should consult the appropriate authority to clarify the position before replacing your windows.

Beneath the surface ‘good looks’ of the vertical sliding sash window there are a host of design features to improve your windows performance and appeal.

STYLES
All window styles can be produced including features such as arched head top sashes and bay windows.

TILT OPTION
By making the most of modern designs and materials, the sliding sash window can be made so that either or both sashes have an optional ‘tilt inwards’ facility* incorporating stay arms for safe use. This can help with ventilation and make cleaning much easier.

GLAZING
All windows are designed with 24mm double glazed sealed units.

BALANCES
All windows are supplied with the appropriate spring balance fully installed to match the weight and size of the sashes.

SAFETY
An optional sash travel restrictor is available which limits the distance the sash will open.

PERIOD DETAIL
Period details available include the decorative ‘horns’ featured on the top sliding sash; the availability of brass effect sash lifts; locking cam catches and sash restrictors.

GLAZING BARS
To produce that aesthetic Georgian appearance, Neo glazing bars can be applied to the centre of the double glazed unit or, for the most authentic appearance, glazing bars can be added to both the inside and outside of the double glazed sealed unit.
