you say Sash windows you watch peoples
expressions recoil as if you've said a horrid
dirty word. That's because a lot of the time Sash
windows are still associated with those nasty
cold single glazed timer frames. Of course, they
can look charming and in keeping with the style
of older houses, anything else wouldn't look
right. The problem? The older timer framed
windows are harder to maintain as they get older
and aren't eco friendly in the slightest, you
might as well just put your heater outside.
What are the options? If you are thinking about
sash window refurbishment, for your existing
windows then maybe consider upgrading them as
well. If you can't have anything other than the
timber frames, you can still get them repaired
or refurbished however if you can, consider

Windows offer easier maintenance and have better
energy efficiency. You don't have to compromise
on the style and comfort, you can have
both. What about repairs, are there many
companies who can do it? In London alone there
