Why Invest In New Sash Windows?
Like most customers, you will be approaching your sash window purchase with your own unique goals and needs.
With that in mind, let’s start by asking what the reasons are for investing in new sash windows for your home.
- Is the cold breeze against your back in your favourite reading spot making you uncomfortable?
- Have conversations with your shaken neighbour about her break-in left you worried about your own home security?
- Maybe you’re about to renovate and create the home you’ve always dreamed of, or perhaps the rotten windows are blocking the sale of your property?
- Are your children disturbed by the loud, obscene language of the pub-goers at the kebab shop across the street at 1 a.m.?
- Is the never-ending hum of London traffic giving you sleepless nights? This might be the last straw
- Are you tired of the cost and hassle of maintaining your windows every three years? The headache of arranging for a decorator and scaffolding, when you have so many other important things in your life, is overwhelming.
Our specialist team aims to provide both answers and solutions to popular questions asked by our customers like these. We are more than happy for our customers to reach out to discuss any of the above information with our dedicated project management team.

Problems With ‘Cheap & Fast’ Sash Windows
If you’re looking for cheap windows and a quick turnaround, you can’t expect the highest quality. This often means your windows will likely have:
- High maintenance costs over the coming years, requiring frequent repainting
- Issues with the functionality of your windows
- A style that doesn’t match the original sash windows, often being much thicker due to large-scale automated manufacturing processes that rely on unskilled labour
- Additionally, such windows may lack the energy-efficient properties that help reduce heating costs and improve your home’s comfort. Investing in quality ensures long-term benefits and satisfaction
Opting for cheap windows with a quick turnaround often results in high maintenance costs, functional issues, and a style that doesn’t match original sash windows.
These windows may also lack energy-efficient properties, leading to higher heating costs and reduced comfort. Investing in quality ensures long-term benefits and satisfaction.
Double-Glazing Costs
Double glazed sash window costs can vary. The target cost for double glazed sash windows typically ranges from £900 to over £2,200, reflecting their intricate craftsmanship and numerous benefits.
On the lower end, you might find basic options that offer standard functionality and traditional aesthetics. As prices increase, you’ll encounter windows with enhanced energy efficiency, advanced sound insulation, and bespoke design features such as custom mouldings and glazing bars.
Higher-end models often come with additional benefits like low maintenance requirements and extended guarantees.
While initial costs can be substantial, investing in high-quality double glazed sash windows can significantly improve your home’s comfort, security, and value over the long term.

In contrast to a cheap and fast option, if you’re looking for the highest quality windows with minimal maintenance over the years, long guarantees from a well-established company, and excellent customer service and aftercare, you can expect a higher cost and a longer wait.
These premium windows often provide superior energy efficiency and sound solutions, enhancing your home’s comfort and value.
There’s no right answer, and the options range widely from budget to premium. It’s essential to do your own research and decide which values matter most to you but remember, we are here to help with this important part of the process.
Design of The Window
Remember, the design of the window is crucial.
Features like arches, glazing bars, and bespoke mouldings make a significant difference, enhancing both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of your sash windows.
