Replacement sash windows offer the best of both worlds: the classic looks of sash windows with the benefits of UPVC keeping your home warm, quiet and totally secure. At West Yorkshire Windows we have combined the good looks of traditional sash windows with the latest technological advancements in UPVC double glazing to create replacement sliding sash windows which not only slide up and down but also tilt inwardly for ease of cleaning and ventilation.
Our vertical sliding sash windows retain many of the popular features which have stood them in such good stead over the years, yet also consist of several contemporary components designed to bring them fully up-to-date. Thanks to our amazing design, our sliding sash windows are perfect for any home style in Yorkshire whether you live in a new build or an older property.
Our UPVC range is a great alternative to timber, which combine timber’s good looks with the low maintenance and thermal efficiency of the modern materials.
Our Extreme sliding sash windows
Our Extreme sliding sash windows combine classic aesthetics with clever engineering. They’re the ultimate modern window solution. Expect superb thermal performance and a quieter, more comfortable home, without compromising on traditional style.
Extreme UPVC Sliding Sash Windows
Originally rising to prominence in the 1600s, the sliding sash window remains a staple in British architecture. The familiar dual-sash setup, where one sash glides effortlessly past the other, has been faithfully recreated in our Extreme window range. Designed with two sashes, positioned so that one sits just in front of the other, the window glides open and closed with ease. West Yorkshire Windows’ Extreme sliding sash windows stay true to this time-honoured layout, while seamlessly integrating modern-day innovation.
Smart upgrades like energy-efficient double glazing (or triple, if you’d like to go even further) and precision-built components, ensure year-round comfort and authenticity.
Colours that showcase Extreme’s standout style...
White windows are everywhere you look, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, it doesn’t exactly help one home stand out from the next. Of course, white is still part of the Extreme colour collection (it wouldn’t be complete without it!), but it’s joined by a broader range of easy-to-maintain finishes in more distinctive shades.
Chartwell Green brings to mind scenic countryside views and rolling greenery, while Matt Black makes a bold, modern statement. You don’t have to decide on one as our dual-colour options let you choose separate finishes for the inside and outside frames.
A key element of functionality...
Choosing the right handle is an essential part of accessorising your windows, with the goal of finding one that enhances the design and complements your home.
Our handles are packed with security features, each option including integral components. Speak to a West Yorkshire Windows advisor to learn exactly what each part does, whether your consultation is in person or online.
Our handles come in a range of exciting finishes...
As you consider your frame colour, you can also choose a finish for your window handles, available in white, black, chrome, and gold. Your choice will depend on whether you prefer a modern or traditional look.
No matter how often you use them, the handle finishes are designed to resist rust, flaking, and general wear, keeping them looking great for years to come.
Plain glazing is just the beginning...
Every glazing option for sliding sash windows offers its own unique qualities, yet all share the same strengths in delivering excellent thermal efficiency, allowing natural light to flood in, and maintaining a stylish appearance. Cutting-edge technology powers all our glazing, including both clear and privacy styles.
Additional advantages include enhanced insulation and noise reduction, making your home warmer and more peaceful. Unsure which glazing suits your needs? West Yorkshire Windows’ knowledgeable advisors are ready to help guide your choice.

Learn more about our Sliding Sash Windows
Sash windows have a timeless quality that looks fantastic on almost any Yorkshire home. Find out more about what makes our sash windows exceptional below.
What are sliding sash windows?
The sliding sash window is one of the most classic window styles and can be seen at many traditional residences.
To tell apart a sliding sash window from all other window design styles, look out for it having two vertically sliding panels, also referred to as the sashes. Originally, these sashes would be crafted from wood, but contemporary sashes tend to be made using UPVC. There are hidden, counterbalanced weights within the window frame and these help each sash move up and down so easily.
Sliding sash windows are synonymous for being so tasteful and timeless. One of their biggest conveniences is the fantastic source of ventilation they can provide – use one or both sashes in conjunction to add some air flow to your living area. People’s love of sliding sash windows is also to do with how effortlessly they merge with homes possessing traditional architecture.
West Yorkshire Windows has retained the trademark styling of an authentic sliding sash window but brought it up-to-date with enhanced security mechanisms and modern energy efficient glazing.
Homeowners and architects are unified in their adoration of sliding sash windows, an allure that has endured for hundreds of years and will do so for many hundreds more.
How do you open sliding sash windows?
Sliding sash windows have a very undemanding opening and closing method.
Look for the discreet latch situated on the lower sash of the window to open the window. This latch will either need to be gently lifted or slid in order for the sash to be released (it can vary between sliding sash designs).
After unlocking, take hold of the bottom sash and lift it upwards, which it will do with a simple smoothness along the vertical track. Follow this process to initiate the level of ventilation you want.
Do the reverse of this to return the window to a closed position, making certain that the sash is fully engaged so that the look and functionality of our sliding sash windows is preserved.
How can I customise my sliding sash windows?
Personalisation of sliding sash windows can entail everything from selecting a colour to choosing the hardware.
You have all the licence you need to make our sliding sash windows look unlike anybody else’s as we want you to be able to get your personality into them and bring out the best of your home.
The colour options are as wide-ranging as you could hope they would be, with finishes to suit any external facade and internal decor. A classic white colour sits in a palette that also features realistic wood grain effects and spirited shades, so there’s something for everyone.
Once your colour choice is decided and out of the way, it’s time to move on to picking a preferred glass. Most are happy with plain energy efficient glazing in double or triple glazed form, but there’s also decorative and patterned glasses available.
Do you provide aftercare for replacement windows?
West Yorkshire Windows will be here for you long after your window installation is complete.
Our relationship with you doesn’t end once our fitters have left you to enjoy the benefits of your new sliding sash windows. That’s almost only the beginning of it as for the duration of the guarantee you are eligible for aftercare – it’s all part of the service.
We hope that you don’t have to avail of aftercare, but from time to time, things can happen, and if you incur any issue with our windows, it’s good to know that you have a means of resolving it at no cost to you. Call or message us if you need one of our installers to come out and remedy any kind of problem. This will be arranged for the soonest available slot so that you’re not kept waiting for a solution.
Are sliding sash windows suitable for conservation homes?
Planners are known to accept sliding sash windows for homes within conservation areas.
A very particular style of window is necessary for window upgrades at conservation homes so that any replacements preserve the historical character of long-standing buildings. Sliding sash windows have the required style attributes as they are specifically crafted to replicate the appearance of older window offerings.
Local planning committees often vote in favour of the fitting of sliding sash windows for these types of projects as they recognise the lengths that have gone into crafting them to match historic guidelines. The giant steps made in window technology in recent decades has helped us develop heritage-look sash designs that offer modern standards of energy efficiency and security, so they are in no way style over substance.
So, the short answer is that you have a very good chance of being allowed to use sliding sashes as a window replacement as they brilliantly emulate the same window style of yesteryear and match its proportions.
