What are Yorkshire Sash Windows?

Yorkshire sash windows, also known as horizontal sliding sash windows, are a distinctive type of window that originated in North Yorkshire. Unlike traditional vertical sash windows, these windows feature sashes that slide horizontally within the frame. This unique design not only provides excellent ventilation but also serves as a convenient fire escape. The compact nature of horizontal sliding sash windows makes them suitable for a variety of property types, from modern homes to period properties. Particularly prevalent in the North and West Yorkshire areas, these windows are a popular choice for homeowners looking to preserve the historic charm of their homes while enjoying the benefits of modern window technology.

Using only a water-based painting system which allows timber to “breathe” and adapt to climatic changes, our finishes provide maximum protection against weathering, fungal attack and UV degradation. The water-based application significantly reduces harmful emissions and disposal issues associated with solvent based systems.

Working with our paint partner, Sikkens, we can finish in any RAL colour, stain, or match against all well known paint ranges and brands. With the ability to have different internal and external finishes, your windows and doors can be finished just as you require.

Our factory is audited quarterly to ensure that the finished product has the highest quality paint finish and performance you would expect.
