A sash window offers a distinctive character to your property. Characterised by its astragal bars and sliding movements, these designs give you beautiful designs and a traditional look to your property.
At Abbey Windows, we have installed sash windows for Reading homeowners for almost 40 years. We work with Roseview to deliver their range of high quality sash windows designs. Read on to find out how they can benefit your home.
Sash Windows Details and Mechanism
The first thing you might be wondering is how sash windows work. Sash windows are different to a normal window with a side mounted hinge as they open from the top, the bottom, or both ways. The Georgian style sash windows offer a six over six pane style, with Georgian bars to keep the glass together. Edwardian styles let in less light but offer a unique appearance that turns heads instantly, while Bay sash windows protrude outwards from the property to allow stunning views.
The internal sliding mechanism makes these windows compact for housing and ideal for city centres, as they don’t swing out on a park or a busy road. What’s more, this lets in plenty of ventilation, saving on air conditioning bills.
Our sliding sash windows are similar to tilt and turn windows as they tilt for easy maintenance – sash windows, though, only tilt inwards, and only selected styles.
Types of Sash Windows
We work with Roseview, who manufacture a variety of market-leading sliding sash windows. You can discover a wealth of different styles, design possibilities and customisation options, perfect for you and your property.

The Ultimate Rose design offers authenticity and a modern look to your home. They feature a 35mm midrail which is one of the slimmest on the market. Your window offers a deep sill design that looks indistinguishable from a timber window.
The Ultimate Rose window gives a fully functional thermal performance. It is A rated for thermal efficiency and soundproof capabilities. As a result, you will get a peaceful and quiet interior in your home.
Charisma Rose
Charisma Rose windows are Made in Britain and give homeowners a contemporary design. This makes it versatile in the process. They are also maintenance free so all customers have to do is wipe them down with a damp cloth and it looks fantastic.
Using a 60mm midrail, these windows give you a contemporary look that ensures a bespoke design. It is the perfect choice for modernised projects and new builds, resulting in a sleek and beautiful aesthetic.
These windows feature a fantastic insulation of sound which is ideal for homeowners who live on a busy road or a loud neighbourhood.

And, the robust design will protect your home against toughened weather conditions such as wind and rain.
