UPVC Sash Windows
Classic proportions, smooth operation and modern performance, our UPVC sash windows recreate the character of traditional timber sliding sashes without the maintenance. They are an ideal choice for Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes, as well as newer properties designed with a period look in mind.
At Broadview Windows, we supply and fit quality sash windows throughout the Hertfordshire area. Manufactured from durable UPVC, they will not rot, warp or need repainting, yet they retain the elegant detailing that makes the sliding sash one of the most recognisable window styles in Britain.
Whether you are replacing worn timber sashes or upgrading older double glazing, our sash windows offer an authentic appearance combined with excellent insulation, security and ease of use.
The charm of a traditional sash window
A sash window consists of two panels, or sashes, set within a frame and sliding vertically past one another. This allows you to open the top, the bottom or both, providing controlled ventilation while the window remains neatly within the frame.
Our UPVC sash windows replicate the slim meeting rails, deeper bottom rails and optional sash horns of a traditional timber design. The result is a window that sits comfortably within the original character of your home, while performing to modern standards.
Typically lasting between 20 to 35 years, they need only an occasional wipe-down with soapy water to keep them looking pristine.
Key features of our UPVC sash windows
Every Broadview sash window is designed to combine heritage appearance with everyday practicality, including:
- Smooth, balanced vertical sliding operation
- Tilt-in sashes for safe and easy cleaning of the outside glass from inside your home
- Multi chambered frames and high-performance double-glazed units
- Secure locking systems and ventilation restrictors
- Optional Georgian bars, sash horns and decorative detailing
Each window is made to measure, so whether you are matching existing openings or replacing a full set of period windows, the proportions can be tailored to suit your property.
Energy efficiency and security
Traditional timber sash windows are often a source of draughts, rattles and heat loss. Our UPVC sash windows are fully sealed with modern weather seals and brush pile, keeping warm air inside and the cold weather out.
With A-rated performance available depending on specification, they can help to reduce heating costs and create a quieter, more comfortable home, particularly for properties on busy roads.
Robust frames, secure locking and quality hardware come as standard, giving you peace of mind without compromising on the traditional look.
Colours and finishes
Our UPVC sash windows are available in classic white, as well as a range of colours and woodgrain effect finishes. A woodgrain finish offers the warm, natural appearance of painted or stained timber, making it an excellent choice where character is important.
Glazing bar configurations, including traditional Georgian patterns, can be specified to match neighbouring properties or to restore the original style of your home.
