Book a consultationAll of our products are manufactured using FSC® 100% engineered laminated timber.

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.

Contact UsOur sash windows are the only certified noise-reducing timber sash windows offering overall window noise reduction up to 42dB. The windows also feature glazing which achieves a dB rating of up to 47dB which is perfect for reducing noise from outside traffic and antisocial noise from within cities.
Book a consultationWe offer both sliding sash look alike (side hung casement) and regency casement (top hung casement) mock sash designs in our range of contemporary lipped casement windows. This style of windows is ideal if you want the sash window look but is impractical because of narrow reveals. In this instance, a traditional sash window doesn’t offer the clear opening needed to comply with UK escape regulations.

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