Description

Traditional Box Sash Windows are a modern double-glazed replacement for original period windows often found in Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian historic properties. Offering high security, thermal, weather and acoustic performance, our Traditional Box Sash Window is an ideal solution for both period and new build properties where quality, high-performance timber sash windows are required.  

This window is internally beaded to meet PAS 24 security levels and has applied slim glazing bars to keep the aesthetics of the original window but with a much higher performance, typically achieving a whole window U value of 1.4 W/m²K and acoustic ratings of 29-38dB. 

Constructed with slim frame and sash profiles, the Traditional Box Sash Window functions with a classic system of cords, weights, and pulleys. These windows are typically installed within a check reveal, allowing the box to remain largely concealed behind external brick or stonework, although it can also be fitted flush with the brick face, where the box remains visible and is often finished with an architrave. 

TRC’s Traditional Box Sash Windows can be supplied fully finished with a 3-coat spray-applied microporous water-based paint system or can be supplied primed only for a topcoat to be applied on site by others. 

All our windows come with a choice of sash lifts, fasteners, locks and pulley wheels with a wide range of option finishes including antique brass sash, polished chrome, satin nickel, polished brass, matt bronze and polished nickel.

Features and benefits:

  • Smooth-running and robust, they feature a classic weight-and-pulley mechanism.
  • Suitable for non-listed buildings and contemporary developments, the sash windows are available in a selection of hardwood and softwood frame finishes, along with RAL colours.
  • With the option of safety glass, obscured glass, acoustic glass or solar control glass, the wooden double-glazed sash windows can be tailored for every situation.
  • Bespoke windows and doors are available; consult manufacturer for details.

Guarantees:

TRC Contracts Ltd offers robust guarantees on all TRC window ranges we supply and install. The following general terms apply on all new windows:

  • Expected Lifespan: All our windows are designed with a 60-year service life guarantee.
  • Manufacturing and Material Defects: 10-year guarantee.
