At SM Windows & Doors, we supply and install sliding sash windows in York and across North Yorkshire, giving period and modern homes a classic look with none of the draughts and rattles of the old originals. York is full of handsome terraced and Victorian homes, and in many of them a well-made sash window is exactly what keeps the character intact.
Sliding sash windows open vertically, with one pane gliding smoothly over the other, so they keep that traditional proportion that suits older properties so well. Whether you are replacing tired, draughty frames or want to bring back the right look on a period home, we offer sash options that pair the classic style with modern warmth and security.
Sash windows that suit York's period homes
Around York, plenty of streets sit within conservation areas, and homes in places like Fulford, Bishopthorpe and Clifton often need windows that respect the age of the property. Sliding sash windows do just that, keeping the slim sightlines and vertical proportions people expect while performing far better than the originals. If you live in a conservation area, it is always worth checking the current rules with the local authority before you start, as requirements can change. Here is what we offer:
- Sliding sash windows that keep a classic appearance with modern performance
- Authentic detailing such as run-through sash horns and slim glazing bars
- A wide choice of colours and finishes, including popular options like anthracite grey, black, cream and Chartwell green
- Energy-efficient glazing to help keep your home warm and reduce energy bills
- Smooth, easy-to-use mechanisms with tilt options for simple cleaning
Made to measure and fitted with care
Every sash window is made to measure and fitted by our own team, so you get a precise fit and a tidy finish that sits right in an older opening. We take the time to talk through your options in person, measure up properly and leave your home clean once the work is done. If you love the traditional look but want natural wood, take a look at our timber windows in York, or compare styles with our casement windows if you are still deciding.
If your existing sashes stick, rattle or have rotten cords, our window and door repairs team can often put things right without a full replacement. We cover York and the surrounding towns and villages, including Haxby, Poppleton, Tadcaster, Wetherby and Selby, so wherever you are in North Yorkshire we can pop out for a look.
