Mock Sash Windows FAQs

• What's the difference between traditional sash windows and mock sash windows?

  The main difference between traditional sash windows and mock sash windows is how they open and close. Instead of using a conventional vertical sliding system, mock sash windows function as casement or storm-proof windows. These typically feature a fixed pane and a tilting movable panel.

  This open-close function results in an easier and quicker installation process, but that’s not the only benefit of installing mock sash windows. They require less maintenance than traditional sash windows, and they’re also an affordable alternative – a bonus if you want to maintain and enhance the character of your property without blowing your budget.
• Can mock sash windows be installed in period properties?

  Timber mock sash windows can be used in period and heritage and as windows for listed properties and are a popular choice. In particular, those from the Georgian and Victorian eras, or in any instance where it’s important to respect the history of the property.
