Sash Windows in Liverpool: A Timeless Choice for Traditional Homes

Sash windows are a common sight across Liverpool’s residential streets, particularly in areas with Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian housing.

These sliding windows have been a feature of British homes for centuries and continue to be a practical choice for homeowners today.

If you’re considering new windows for your Liverpool property, timber sash windows provide an option that works well with both period and more recent homes, offering the traditional appearance that many homeowners prefer.

What is a sliding sash window?

A sliding sash window consists of one or more moveable panels (called sashes) that slide vertically within the window frame.

Sliding sash windows feature two sashes, with the bottom sash typically sliding upward whilst the top remains fixed, though both can move in a double-hung design.

Classic Georgian sashes were originally designed with thin glazing bars creating multiple small panes of glass. This design evolved through the Victorian era into larger single panes, whilst maintaining the elegant proportions that make sash windows instantly recognisable.

Modern timber sash windows retain these traditional aesthetics whilst incorporating contemporary features like double glazing, draught-proofing systems, and improved security mechanisms.

Benefits of sliding sash windows for heritage homes

At Bereco, we offer a range of sash windows that combine the style you love with the performance your home needs.We offer both traditional cords and weights sash windows along with spiral balance windows (where the spiral mechanism is semi-concealed in the frame) to suit your needs.

There are many reasons to choose sliding sash windows for your Liverpool home.

Authentic period character

Sash windows are essential for maintaining the authentic appearance of Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian properties. Our range includes contemporary, traditional, or heritage moulding profiles to replicate the exact look you’re after.

Conservation compliance

Many Liverpool properties sit within conservation areas or hold listed building status. Our range of timber sash windows can be designed to meet strict planning requirements whilst maintaining historical accuracy.

Ventilation & fresh air

The sliding mechanism of sliding sash windows allows for easy ventilation control. You can open windows at both top and bottom, creating natural air circulation that helps regulate temperature and humidity.
