A Journey Through the History of Sash and Case Windows
16th – 17th Century: The Early Beginnings
Sash and case windows began as simple openings with rudimentary glazing in 16th-century England. By the 17th century, advancements in glassmaking led to the classic timber sash windows we recognise today.
18th Century – The Georgian Era: Symmetry and Elegance
Georgian sash windows featured larger glass panes divided by slim glazing bars, creating a refined aesthetic. These windows became hallmarks of Georgian architecture, known for their symmetry and balance.
19th Century – The Victorian Period: Intricate Designs
Victorian sash windows introduced elaborate mouldings and decorative features. Improved manufacturing techniques allowed for greater creativity, resulting in some of the most iconic window designs in British history.
20th Century: Adapting to Modern Times
As industrialisation progressed, new materials like metal and uPVC emerged. However, timber sash windows remained a favourite for their unmatched beauty and durability.
The Contemporary Era: A Renaissance in Timber Windows
Today, timber sash and case windows are celebrated for their blend of tradition and innovation. With features like double glazing and sustainable materials, they deliver energy efficiency while retaining their timeless appeal.
