To this day, sash windows still remain an elegant part of history in the UK. A feature of many Victorian and Georgian properties, sliding sash windows are a charming reminder of the past, now capable of providing all of the benefits modern uPVC has to offer. Truly a classic window style, sash windows may have been used for hundreds of years, but that doesn’t mean that modern properties need go without.
Complete with such traditional features as deep bottom rails, authentic ironmongery and optional astragal bars, sliding sash windows from Albany help add a touch of traditional elegance to any style of property, historical or modern.
