Handmade Bespoke Windows

From contemporary to traditional, there’s no other material that matches the natural beauty of timber windows – few materials can compare to the elegant look and quality of bespoke timber windows. From modern casement windows to traditional heritage style windows, H&C Joinery takes great pride in manufacturing high quality windows to our client’s exact requirements.
For windows in listed buildings or in conservation areas, we are able to replicate the existing window style to provide a new window that stays true to the original design and to the heritage of the building.

Handmade Sliding Sash Windows
Designed to complement and enhance the functionality and aesthetic appeal of any property, sliding sash windows work in both contemporary and traditional settings.
Having been around since the mid-17th century, these windows have certainly stood the test of time, with only slight design changes during the Georgian and Victorian era’s.
Here at Heritage & Contemporary Joinery, we hand-make and install bespoke sliding sash windows the traditional way, with minimal deviations from the original designs that have been used for generations. Our only improvements on the original design is incorporating modern draught proofing, secure locking systems, energy efficient glazing, and applying fully factory finished micro-porous paint finish to your exacting requirements.
We only use the finest timber and always recommend our customers opt for either engineered timber sections or Accoya – modified timber with a guarantee of up to an incredible 50 years!
Traditional Box Sash Windows
Perfectly at home in both classic and contemporary properties, the traditional sash window boasts a wide outer box frame, used to conceal the pulley and weights system. This easy-to-use system has been utilised for centuries in order to counterbalance the weight of the sashes for ease of opening. A simple but effective operating mechanism allows sash windows to be crafted in larger sizes, as seen with the large windows commonly found in Victorian and Georgian properties.
Extremely versatile, functional, and durable, traditional box sash windows sit behind the first leaf of a masonry wall in a rebated reveal, only showing a narrow site line of the wide outer box frame. With narrow glazing bar profiles they create an elegant look for period properties.

Spiral Balance Box Sash Windows
Spiral balance box sash windows are a great addition to any property, instantly adding style and charm to traditional and modern homes. If you’re looking for high quality performance and stunning aesthetics, spiral balance box sash windows should certainly be your first port of call.
The use of spiral balance operation for sliding sash windows has continued to increase in popularity, due to the fact that their narrow frame means that the outer frame sits perfectly within the modern methods of constructing cavity walls with flush reveals.
