Historic Style Sash Windows
There is a variety of historic windows, which is why at Quickslide, we can manufacture a whole catalogue of sash window styles to match period properties built throughout the UK’s history. Victorian arched windows and Edwardian or Georgian arched windows add a sense of softness and more natural flowing curves to a home. Read below to learn more about our historic window types in more detail and how they differ.
Victorian Sash Windows
An ever-popular design, Victorian windows are recognisable by their ‘two over two’ pane aesthetic. As glass manufacturing became easier, larger panes became more popular thanks to their clearer sightlines. We have integral blinds for Victorian windows available, alongside a range of glazing options, including obscuring glass. You can install our Victorian style windows anywhere within a home while offering great levels of privacy and security.
Georgian Sash Windows
Georgian windows have been around since the 17th century, and Quickslide’s uPVC Georgian style windows maintain that heritage looks while offering excellent double glazing efficiency. A Georgian window is typically a sash window that has a ‘six over six’ pane design. This style became popular due to the difficulties with glazing manufacturing long ago. At Quickslide, we use uniquely shaped astragal bars for our Georgian windows.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Edwardian windows are a sort of mixture between the above two styles, having a ‘six over two’ design. Edwardian sash windows can bring together the best of both worlds with beautiful criss-crossed patterns and crystal-clear sightlines. No matter the choice, all of our styles come with bespoke secondary glazing and can come with our range of contemporary or authentic features. These features can include 90-degree mechanical joints, woodgrain foils, deep bottom rail, slim midrail to resemble wooden sash windows as much as possible, a tilt facility for easy cleaning access, and Avia smart hardware.

Energy Efficiency
Sash window insulation has come a long way since the 17th century. Compared to single glazed timber windows, our contemporary double glazed sash windows can provide homeowners with incredible thermal insulation. The secondary glazing sash windows we supply can reach U-values as low as 1.4 W/m²K and an ‘A’ energy rating. Homeowners can stay warm and cosy when you choose Quickslide, they may even see reduced energy bills year after year!
Modern Security
Window locks for sash windows have come a long way, and we know that customers have security at the forefront when it comes to upgrading their homes. The sash window locks that we incorporate into all of our designs are capable of resisting modern intrusion techniques, but for even further security and peace of mind, we also have a PAS 24 certified upgrade package. The window sash lock, restrictors, frame, glazing, and more can ensure that homeowners remain safe and sound.
Weatherproof Design
Our sash window seals and woolpiles can help keep out cold draughts and leaks, leading to an even warmer, safer home. Even after long exposure to the elements, our range of robust colours and woodgrains can continue to look fresh and colourful without losing their lustre. Draft proofing for sash windows can be a bigger challenge compared to casements, but at Quickslide, the Legacy uPVC sliding sash window can provide excellent weather and intrusion protection.
Low Maintenance
Another benefit to sliding sash windows made from uPVC is that they are incredibly low maintenance. Compared to timber windows which tend to need repairs, varnishing, painting, and more after exposure to harsh weather or time, uPVC windows can last for longer while also offering better thermal efficiency. All it takes to clean our windows is some water, a sponge, and soap to remove excess dirt that may collect in the nooks and crannies. The optional tilt facility makes these windows even simpler to keep fresh.

what Are Sash Windows?
Sliding sash windows are identified by their vertical opening sashes. Consisting of two framed window sashes, this distinctive style is perfect for any property that requires a traditional touch. This versatile window design can be customised with various colours and hardware accessories to complement each home.
What Are The Benefits Of Having My Sash Windows Double Glazed?
Secondary glazing for sash windows can massively reduce the amount of heat that escapes a home, leading to better energy efficiency and potentially lower energy bills for the homeowner. When you choose Quickslide’s historic-style sash windows, you can provide your customers with excellent thermal performance that doesn’t compromise the historical aesthetic. A double glazed sash window will also offer better sound insulation, which, when combined with our obscuring glass, can help you provide customers with sash windows that can fit anywhere across a property.
Why Choose uPVC Sliding Sash Windows?
Compared to other materials, modern uPVC sash windows, also known as PVC sash windows or PVCu, can last for many years without wear and tear. They don’t absorb moisture like timber can, and their colours can remain vibrant without the need for repainting or chipping. Additionally, our Victorian style windows or other historical styles can help homes maintain their old appearance while benefiting from all the advantages of robust contemporary design.
How To Clean Sash Windows?
When cleaning your sash or casement windows, you should not use any harsh products such as bleach or nail varnish to get any marks off as it could scratch or warp the frames. Quickslide recommends using a clean cloth together with a non-coarse neutral solution such as washing up liquid mixed with hot water.
