The Process of Making Bespoke Sash Windows

The Process of Making Bespoke Sash Windows

Bespoke sash windows are handmade to suit the exact dimensions, style, and materials of your home. This process combines traditional craftsmanship with high-performance timber options to deliver stunning, long-lasting results.

Timber Selection

The process begins with choosing the right timber. High-performance woods like Accoya are ideal for this purpose, offering strength and resistance to warping.

Profile Matching

If the window is a replacement or restoration, joiners must accurately reproduce original profiles. This ensures consistency with neighbouring units and meets planning standards in heritage areas. Learn more in our profile matching guide.

Crafting and Assembly

Each sash is cut, shaped, and jointed by hand. Mortice and tenon joints are commonly used for strength. The sashes are then dry-fit to ensure perfect alignment before final gluing and assembly.

Finishing Touches

After assembly, windows are sanded, primed, and painted or stained. At this stage, ironmongery like pulleys and cords are installed. The sashes are tested for fit and movement.

Custom-made windows not only suit your home perfectly—they also preserve your property’s long-term value and help you make sense of the various components involved.
