Timber Sash Windows
Timber is the material of choice when it comes to sliding sash windows. The original sliding sash windows were all made from wood and are still considered the material of choice for the purists and connoisseurs of the traditional sash window. Some conservation areas and listed buildings can only be fitted with timber sash windows. The range of sash windows from The Knight Collection are available in a wide choice of different materials, including Pine, Meranti and Oak, as well as a range of finishes, including clear, stain and paint, enabling us to supply you with customised timber sash windows that will sit perfectly within your home.
The connoisseur choice
Timber Sash Windows
Although UPVC sliding sash windows are very similar to timber, timber has a different effect, which cannot be achieved with plastic. It is a misconception that wooden sash windows are a maintenance nightmare. Timber offers many benefits over plastic and only requires periodic maintenance, checking for signs of wear and tear once a year. Modern paints and wood finishes are much harder to wear than their historic equivalents and also enable the timber to breathe; therefore, timber windows now require even less maintenance than ever before.
We have a range of budget timber sash windows developed to our specification for the UK market. We are able to offer these windows at a price point that has not been previously possible for timber sash windows, and they are manufactured with many of the same features as their more expensive competitors, such as breathable paint, double glazing, and multiple seals.
Manufactured with a timber core our sash windows have the majority of the features found on original sash windows from yesteryear including a thin top and mid rail, deep bottom rail, mechanical joints, authentic putty and glass lines as well as various astragal and Georgian bars available.
All of our windows the The Knight Collection are manufactured in a state of the art manufacturing plant ensuring all of our windows are manufactured efficiently to a high standard ensuring a cost effective high end product to the user.

Materials
Cost-effective
Pine

Accessible, easy to handle and cost-effective. It is recommended for customers who value traditional solutions and economical use.
Durable and resistant.
Oak
The best building material out of native broad leaved trees, better than pine or even larch. Oak wood is hard, very durable and resistant to abrasion. It is characterised by high durability and resistance to changing moisture conditions. It has been widely appreciated all around the world for centuries.
Extremely resistance
Meranti
This exotic species of hardwood timber from Indonesia has extremely high resistance to weather conditions. The windows made of this material are not only durable but also very warm and quiet. Meranti wood density strongly depends on the species and can range from 300 kg/m3 to 1050 kg/m3 . It is recommend for places exposed to moisture. In windows and doors production most commonly used meranti is the one with a density above 450 kg / m3 , which ensures consistent quality of the final product.
Teknos
Our timber windows are coated with a 4 stage paint process from Teknos involving a wood preservative, primer, intermediate coat and topcoat. Tecknos coatings are formulated to keep your products looking attractive year after year, resisting the elements, maintaining appearance and value.
Each layer in the Teknos Aqua system has been carefully formulated both for its specific purpose and to work in synergy with the other products in the system to achieve maximum performance, including:
- Vacuum impregnation, wood preservative and combi primers product to preserve and prime the wood.
- Primers to fill the wood's pores and provide an anchor for intermediate or topcoats.
- Specialist primers and intermediate coats to block and inhibit tannin staining.
- End grain and construction joint fillers to protect the most vulnerable areas of exposed joinery.
- Intermediate products to fill the pores of coarser wood species, providing a more uniform surface for top coating.
- Flexible, micro porous topcoats for an attractive, durable yet flexible surface.
Stained
Our different timber materials can all be stained using a range of colours to enhance and protect the wood and achieve a look that fits your property.
Painted
