Heritage Style
The appearance of a traditional sash, built for modern living
Sliding sash windows are one of the defining features of many period properties across Brighton, Hove and Sussex. Their vertical proportions and distinctive opening style give them a character that conventional casement windows cannot reproduce in quite the same way.
Our Legacy uPVC sliding sash windows recreate that traditional appearance while introducing the practical benefits expected from a modern replacement window.
The result is a window designed to complement period and traditional-style properties while providing modern glazing, security and considerably less routine maintenance than a traditional painted timber frame.
Why Choose uPVC Sliding Sash?
Traditional detailing with practical modern benefits

Modern operating mechanisms help provide smooth vertical movement while retaining the familiar functionality of a sliding sash window.

Made for your home

Traditional Character
Designed to sit naturally within period properties
The proportions and detailing of a sliding sash window can have a major influence on the appearance of a traditional property. Legacy sash windows are designed with those visual details in mind, helping replacement windows feel more sympathetic to the character of the building.
Modern Performance
Easier to live with every day
Behind the traditional appearance is a modern uPVC window system combining double glazing, weather resistance, contemporary locking hardware and low-maintenance materials.

uPVC Sliding Sash Window FAQs
Common questions about sliding sash windows
What is a sliding sash window?
A sliding sash window uses vertically moving glazed sections rather than a conventional outward-opening casement. The format is strongly associated with Georgian, Victorian and other traditional British property styles.
Are uPVC sash windows suitable for period homes?
They can be. Well-proportioned uPVC sash windows can provide a traditional appearance while offering modern glazing and lower maintenance. Suitability depends on the property and any planning, listed building or conservation requirements that apply.
Are uPVC sliding sash windows energy efficient?
Modern uPVC sliding sash windows use contemporary frame systems and double glazing, which can improve thermal performance compared with many older single-glazed sash windows. Exact performance depends on the chosen specification.
Do uPVC sash windows need much maintenance?
uPVC sash windows are relatively low maintenance. Routine cleaning and normal care of the operating hardware are generally required, without the regular sanding and repainting associated with painted timber frames.
