Dundee Sash Windows
Sash windows are a popular style of window because of their easy-to-use, compact design. Sliding vertically to open instead of swinging outwards like a normal window, this provides an entire pane of glass worth of ventilation and helps save space within your home, making them great for smaller residences.
Sliding sash windows for your Dundee home
Vertical sliding sash windows have long been a popular option for Dundee homes, especially for older traditional properties. Their popularity means that we often get requests for replacement sash windows around the city, not only to replace old ones but to upgrade to triple or double-glazing.
Does your Dundee home require new, sliding sash windows with upgrading glazing to replace your old inefficient ones? Renew the style of your home and reduce your heat loss, as well as your heating bills – contact us today.
Why choose sliding sash windows?
To see how elegant and practical Dundee sash windows are, take a look at the following breakdown of their features:
- Sliding sash frame – The frame houses the glass panes, and slides vertically via grooves/channels, or horizontally across tracks. Its tight-fit design prevents drafts, keeping your home warmer and more stable.
- Glazing – Double-glazing is made up of two panes of glass, with a space between them filled with argon gas or air to act as insulating material. This blocks heat loss through your windows, which would otherwise add to your energy bills.
- Counterweight system – This counterweight system balances the sashes, and allows you to smoothly operate it effortlessly using the pulley cord/chain’s slide and tilt facility, which acts as the sliding sash handles.
- Staff and parting beads – These wooden or plastic strips separate the sash and hold it in place, reducing rattling, increasing security and improving thermal efficiency overall.
- Locking mechanism – Sliding sash windows have a secure locking system of various styles, but our sliding sash locking secured via a catch/lock has them all beat.
What styles of sliding sash windows are there?
There are several different styles of sash windows available to Dundee homeowners. These include:
- Single-hung sash windows – The “single” refers to how only one sash is operable in this vertical sliding windows format, both cost-effective and limiting in ventilation capabilities.
- Double-hung sash windows – Both the upper and lower sashes of the window are operable, giving two window panes worth of ventilation.
- Horizontal sliding windows – Sash windows that slide horizontally along tracks, as opposed to the vertical grooves and channels.
- Georgian sash windows – A period-style property piece featuring several panes of glass within each sash, divided by glazing bars.
- Victorian sash windows – This type of sash window features large panes of glass that host fewer divisions, allowing more natural light into the home.
- Edwardian sash windows – This is a combination of Georgian and Victorian sash styles, with large panes in the lower sash and smaller panes in the upper.
- Arched/curved-head sash windows – Sash windows that have a stylised, curved or arched upper sash, offering an elegant window style considered “high end”.
- Bay sash windows – This style features a series of sash windows arranged in a bay configuration, creating a more spacious feel by filtering in natural light.
- Triple sash windows – This type features three sashes within one frame, often with the central sash being fixed in place, with only the sides operable.
- Sliding box sash windows – Traditional sash window finish with weights and pulleys housed within a box frame.

What are the benefits of Pro Glaze's Sash Windows?
- Lower energy bills – Our glazing work (both triple and double-glazing) enables your windows, regardless of the type or style, to block between 60-90% of all heat being lost from through your home’s windows.
- Noise reduction – Double-glazing glass is also acoustic glass, meaning it blocks around 70% of all external noise outside of your Dundee home, allowing you to set your vibe.
- Condensation reduction – Our glazing work will ensure that condensation doesn’t occur. Since it’s a reaction that only happens when moist air comes into contact with a cold surface, our glazing glass counteracts this by keeping the temperature of the actual window warm.
- Home security – We have a secure locking system alongside the extra strength that glazing provides to glass.
- Possible property value increase – Two things make a property sell higher – aesthetics and function. Not only do our windows look great, but with enhanced thermal efficiency, they increase the chances that the value of the investment will be retained via an increase in property value. Thermal efficiency is a trait that is in demand in the property market. Check to see if your latest EPC indicates the property is close to a grade increase.
