Weights

Sliding Sash Weight Balance windows are the most recognisable traditional English windows. They have been a characteristic feature of English architecture since the 18th century. The two vertically sliding sashes are operated by two independent weight and cord mechanisms introduced by RobertHooke in 1670. Our selection of best quality timber and the hand finish we add, guarantee a unique and stylish look.
