Sash windows are the new fashion in UPVC windows. Sash windows can give your home or business the classic look of an old Georgian, Victorian or Edwardian building without sacrificing any of the modern day benefits of uPVC double glazing. Their classic style is ideal to replace existing sash windows and they can even add a splash of tradition to a modern home too.

The restriction is normally set to between 100mm and 200mm. Also known as limit stops or a frame stop.

Placed on the outside of the sash as an original feature. They are not fitted as standard and therefore must be specified
with your order/quote. Available in white, cream and tan.
