Sliding Sash Windows
Traditional character with modern-day performance
Sliding sash windows are a beautiful choice for period properties, traditional homes and homeowners who simply prefer their distinctive appearance.
Their balanced proportions and vertical opening style recreate the character of a traditional timber sash window, while modern materials and glazing options can provide improved comfort, security and ease of use.
Meridian Homes supplies and installs sliding sash windows across Maldon, Chelmsford and the surrounding Essex area.
Sliding sash windows have been a familiar feature of British homes for generations. Rather than opening outwards on hinges, one or both window sections—or sashes—move vertically.
This distinctive design makes them particularly suited to Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian-style properties. They can also add character to more modern homes.
Today’s sliding sash windows combine this traditional appearance with modern manufacturing, helping homeowners enjoy classic style without the maintenance normally associated with older timber frames.
The classic appearance of a sash window
Why choose sliding sash windows?
Traditional style
Careful proportions and detailing help create the appearance associated with traditional timber sash windows.
Easy operation
Modern sliding mechanisms are designed to make the windows smooth and straightforward to open.
Improved energy efficiency
Modern frames, seals and double-glazed units can help reduce unwanted draughts and heat loss compared with older single-glazed sash windows.
Added security
Secure locking systems and modern glazing provide greater reassurance while retaining the traditional appearance of the window.
Low-maintenance options
Modern uPVC finishes provide the look of a traditional window without regular sanding and repainting.
Made for your home
A choice of colours, finishes, glazing arrangements and decorative details is available, allowing the windows to complement the individual property.
Replacing windows in a period or listed property requires careful consideration. The proportions, materials, glazing bars and other design details may need to reflect the building’s original character.
Meridian can discuss heritage-style and box-sash options for traditional properties, including suitable products for certain Grade II listed buildings.
Listed Building Consent or planning approval may be required before windows are changed. Requirements vary between properties, so customers should obtain the appropriate approval before work begins.
Our team can provide product information to support these discussions where possible.
