    Redwood or hardwood timber sash windows

    All of our products are manufactured using certified sustainably sourced engineered laminated timber. We offer redwood (Scots Pine) and hardwood (Dark Red Meranti) and both have the same extensive warranty. When comparing the two materials, our hardwood has more of an open grain structure meaning it gives more of a textured finish, particularly when stained.

    Sliding Sash Window FAQ's

    How do sliding sash windows operate?

    Sashes slide vertically within the frame. At Bereco we offer cords and weights sliding sash windows, which is a traditional weight and pulley system. We also offer spiral balances which are a tensioned spring mechanism where a coiled spring is discretely concealed inside an encased coloured tube to match the windows finish.

    Do you offer traditional sliding sash windows?

    We offer sash windows in traditional cords and weights or a modern spiral balance method of operation featuring traditional or heritage style mouldings and bars that are perfect for replacement windows or conservation areas.

    What is the difference between spiral balance and cords and weights?

    They are a completely different opening mechanisms. The cords and weights option has wider jambs to hold the lead or steel weight, but there is no difference in the warranty we offer.

    Do you offer a tilt facility on your sash windows?

    At Bereco we don’t offer a tilt facility. This style of window usually comes with unsightly and non-compressing brush seals that can affect weather performance. However, our cords and weights option is available with an easy clean system that allows the bottom sash to open inwards side hung.

    Can I have hardwood cills on softwood frames?

    Even though we can offer this, both our hardwood and redwood timbers have the same warranty and are engineered from defect-free timber that is preservative-treated and fully factory finished. At Bereco every individual timber element of our windows is treated with preservative using the most technologically advanced coating systems from Teknos, which is why we can offer our 30-year warranty against rot and fungal decay.

    Do I have to opt for sash horns?

    No you don’t, it’s completely up to you. But if you do want them we have seven different styles to choose from.

    We replaced the window that our designers and construction team had ordered from Potton as it was far too high and small. I ordered a much bigger window direct from Bereco. They were extremely helpful and kept in touch regularly, helping us by bringing the date forward as we needed the replacement window urgently to allow work to progress.
    The window fitted perfectly. It was of a very good quality and I am really pleased I decided to order a bigger one.

    Judith

    At all stages throughout the process of getting information, getting a quotation and dealing with queries, placing the order and organising delivery the staff were very polite, clear and professional.
    The product arrived safely and has been admired by local skilled timber craftsmen.

    Ian Bloese

    A really good company to deal with. Very helpful team of people from sales, technical support and delivery. Any time I called, I did not have to wait to speak to the right person and help was immediate. So not only great customer service but also terrific products, well designed and exact fit. Competitively priced.

    Graham Roberts

    I was very happy with Bereco’s service levels and the products are excellent, very good quality. I would have no hesitation in recommending them to others.

    Simon Hazelton

    Beautifully constructed windows which do the job perfectly. Handled Covid disruption effectively. Installation went smoothly. All in all a job very well done. Would recommend without reservation.
