Timber sash windows have a timeless appeal that can instantly add classic charm and character to any property. But it’s not just about looks, these windows keep your home warm and secure, making a more comfortable environment to live in.
What is a timber sash window?
A timber sash window can also be referred to as a sliding sash window. It is a style of window that uses the traditional vertical sliding design, typically consisting of two panes of glass that slide in front of the other within the frame.
Benefits of timber sash windows
Energy efficiency
Timber sash windows are made of wood, a naturally insulating material with very low thermal conductivity, making it ideal for retaining heat. Timber windows will help reduce energy bills by helping to keep homes warm in the colder months.
Ours offer U-values as low as 1.0 W/m²K – keeping the heat in, and the cold out – and are compliant with BS 6375:2015 Parts 1 & 2, a classification confirming they are weathertight.
Sustainable windows
In an era where climate change is becoming a large problem, sustainable choices are more important than ever. Timber sash windows keep the heat in, and the cold out, and to top it off they’re sustainable windows too! Timber windows have a significantly lower carbon footprint compared to alternative materials, making them the ideal choice for eco-conscious homeowners, architects, and developers.
At Nine Zero, we source our timber from responsible suppliers certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). Additionally, all our timber waste is recycled on surrounding farms, further minimising our environmental impact.
When considering ‘whole-life cost’, timber windows are between 14-25% cheaper than other materials such as PVCu and aluminium.
Security that’s second to none
Safety is paramount, and our timber sash windows provide the peace of mind you need. Crafted from inherently strong wood, these windows are tested to PAS 24, which is the highest security standard available for windows and doors. They are also Document Q compliant, ensuring your project aligns with the security standards set out for new dwellings under UK Building Regulations and robust protection against intruders. Multi-point locking systems are also fitted as standard, and all glazing is internally beaded.
Perfect for listed buildings
Timber sash windows are a great option for homes in conservation areas, or for listed buildings that must meet strict requirements in order to protect the heritage of the property. Our Heritage range is specifically designed for this purpose, and our wealth of experience ensures your project will be handled with the care it deserves.
