Traditional timber double hung villa sash windows are a classic and elegant choice for residential architecture. They are commonly found in traditional and period-style homes, including villas. Sash windows consist of one or more movable panels, or sashes, that slide vertically to open and close.

Sash windows have a timeless appeal and are often associated with historic and heritage buildings. They add a touch of elegance and authenticity to traditional villa architecture.

They can be customised to suit the specific style and character of a villa. They are available in various shapes, sizes, and configurations, allowing for design flexibility.

Double hung windows offer excellent control over ventilation. The ability to slide the sashes allows for easy adjustment of airflow, enabling efficient ventilation and fresh air circulation.

Our timber double hung windows equipped with double glazing and weatherseals. This helps to improve thermal insulation, reduce heat loss, and enhance energy efficiency in the home.

Double hung timber windows, especially those with double glazing, provide good sound insulation. This can be beneficial for homeowners who live in noisy areas or near busy streets.

Double hung windows, with their large glass panes, allow ample natural light to enter the interior space. This can create a bright and welcoming ambiance, while also reducing the need for artificial lighting during the day.
