Sash Windows in Farnham & Throughout Surrey Postcodes

Our Timber Sash Window Collection for Properties in Farnham & throughout GU9

Bespoke sash timber windows embody elegance, charm and finesse.
A testament to their English heritage, sash windows were created by
Sir Christopher Wren in the late 17th century, when they became a
symbol of elegance and grandeur in Farnham & homes in Surrey
Also known as hung sash windows, these stunning emblems of British history are
created with one or more movable panels, or ‘sashes’. These form a frame to hold panes of glass,
which are often separated from other panes by glazing bars.

 

Their 300-year old success story is no coincidence, with their enduring popularity in Farnham
boiling down to a few key factors. Firstly, their mechanism allows excellent control of the opening
window sash to enable you to perfectly manage the ventilation in the room.

 

Secondly, the window’s structure can be manufactured to an incredibly slender
specification, resulting in a stunning amount of natural light admitted to the room and a charmingly
elegant appearance, inside and out. Finally, their bespoke nature helped them to become the
principal feature of many magnificent properties of the Queen Anne and Georgian eras,
some of which can be found in Surrey homes.

Box Sash Timber Windows in Farnham and Throughout Surrey

Box Sash Timber Windows in Farnham and Throughout Surrey

Since their inception in the 17th century, box sash timber windows in Surrey have consistently been one of the most sought-after sash window styles in Farnham, and are particularly popular in homes within conservation areas. Their fascinating history dates back to the Great Fire of London, when innovators of the time realised that fitting the box to a four inch recess of the external wall would reduce the risk of spreading fire. In addition to these practical advantages, masking 80% of the box behind the wall also gave the timber sash windows an understated elegance which quickly proved popular among designers of the period working in Surrey.

Balanced on lead weights, our replacement wooden box sashes are completely made to measure. The sashes themselves are either hung on nylon cords or smooth-running chains, whichever you prefer. Choose from 27 bespoke specification upgrades to enhance any feature of your exquisite timber sash windows for your GU9 property, including your desired pulley wheel style or sash horn design.

Spring Sash Timber Windows
in Farnham

Late in the 20th century, the glazing industry welcomed a new product that was exceedingly popular in Surrey: the spiral balanced sash window, otherwise known as the spring sash timber window. This new design was able to be fitted directly into the structural aperture. While this was a viable advantage, some felt that the visible sash springs also cheapened the charm of the original timber sash windows that were so charming in Farnham.

Fast-forward a hundred years or so, and Privett Timber Windows’ innovative carpenters have created a new option for your Farnham property: an exclusive spring sash timber window with ‘hidden’ springs, thereby maintaining the character of the traditional sash window. This state-of-the-art spring sash wooden window retains both the slim glazing bars of the box sash window and boasts a finer sash window box. Our innovative spring sash timber window has proven incredibly popular among new-build projects in Farnham. Extension projects in Surrey also provide a great opportunity to showcase this product, where the slimmer box can be fitted directly into the structural opening.

Conservation Sash Timber Windows Farnham

Conservation Sash Timber Windows in Farnham

There exist almost 10,000 conservation areas in England today, many of which exist in Surrey. Many local councils lay down their own regulations for timber windows, whether they be putty-glazed, slimmer glazing units or sections.

Conservation areas exist to preserve the historic legacies of traditions, and we’re delighted to be able to help you play a role in safeguarding your own piece of history.

Upgrades and Finishes for Your Farnham Project

With 27 bespoke specification upgrades to choose from, you’re in the unique position of being able to enhance any feature of your bespoke sash window in your Farnham home.

From better soundproofing to reduced maintenance cycles and improved temperature control; from warp-resistant timbers, hidden trickle vents, cords and chains to specialised glass and authentic mouldings, our master craftsmen combine advanced technology with exquisite classic finishes to perfectly enhance your home’s period sophistication.

Upgrades and Finishes for Your Farnham Project
Beautifully Crafted Glazing Bars

Beautifully Crafted Glazing Bars

Originally, sash window glazing bars were created for Farnham homes in order to support smaller panes of glass at a time when primitive production methods did not permit the manufacture of larger panes.

Our preferred glazing bar design is fine lamb’s tongue, which adds finesse and grace to original sash window designs. Sophisticated and refined, fine lamb’s tongue is a mark of understated elegance and quality, particularly among Surrey properties.

Slim Meeting Rails

Slim meeting rails exist in a number of Farnham properties, representing where both sashes meet when the window is closed. Upgrading to slim meeting rails demonstrates a faithful representation of timber sliding sash designs in Surrey homes, yet most modern window manufacturers fail to replicate them correctly.

Our carpenters combine traditional carpentry techniques with the latest in technological innovation to produce exceptional quality slim meeting rails that stand the test of time.

Slim Meeting Rails
Timber Sash Window Horns

Timber Sash Window Horns

Timber sash window horns were added to Farnham sash window designs in the 1850’s to assist with the extra stress put on the joints of the sashes when glass panes became larger and heavier.

Depending on your personal preferences, we can either match the exact shape of your existing horns or you may choose a standard shape from one of our 30 sash window horn designs.
