Maintain the traditional charm of your property with our Sliding Sash windows replacement. Despite what you may have heard, this type of windows don’t have to be drafty and difficult to care for. ERG’s windows are strong and practical, while delivering an authentic timber look. With a vertical opening, you can open the window anything from an inch to half the window’s height, so you can decide on the amount of fresh air you let in.
Perfectly suited to Scottish homes looking to bring a period charm to their home through their windows, our sash windows are the perfect choice for a variety of property styles including townhouses, Victorian homes and new builds.
Our vertical sliding window includes two sashes that slide upwards or downwards, as needed.
Traditionally made from timber, our UPVC and aluminium substitutes are able to provide the same traditional appeal and styling as timber. Our alternatives are also low maintenance and thermally efficient so you can get the look of timber but with added benefits.

Sliding Sash Frame
Available in welded joints with 45-degree corner welds for a smooth, sleeker finish and mechanical joints to take the design to another level, the 90-degree welds give a more traditional sash window finish.
Ultimate Glass
High performance next generation glass for superb energy efficiency. With acoustic glass to block out the sound of a bust neighbourhood, or patterned privacy glass for a bathroom, we’ll have the perfect solution for you.
Sliding Sash Locking
Secured using a snail cam that is fitted to the top face of the sash. By turning the lever, the cam is released from its keep, giving you the option of either a key-locking or non-locking system.
Sliding Sash Handles
Our handles come in a range of colours to suit your home, they’re built to last with robust materials and quality finishes.
Weather Proofing
Wool pipe strips that provide an excellent layer of defence against the elements. Available with colour-matching wool pile to ensure that every detail of you window matches perfectly.

ERG Scotland windows offer maximum energy savings...
Worried about the rising cost of energy bills? Your outdated windows may be playing a part in making your bills even higher than they need to be. ERG’s replacement windows will put a stop to this.
Our windows minimise internal heat loss, so your home will be warmer and your energy bills will be lower.
PERSONALISE THE DESIGN
If you have decided on which window style is perfect for your requirements, you then choose how you would like to personalise the design. You can customise your window by deciding between our overwhelming selection of coloured finishes, glazing options and crafted hardware.
A superb array of colours...
ERG can now produce UPVC windows in a massive selection of colour options so you can decide between something unique and on-trend like Chartwell Green or a classic white or cream that is timeless. Each sits alongside finishes of Grey and Irish Oak wonderfully.
Glazing comes in many different forms…
As soon as that front door shuts and you enter your home, you understandably expect a little bit of privacy, Our privacy glazing blurs the inside of your house from the outside, which can provide you with much-needed privacy when you want it most. Thus, it may make sense to use this type of glazing in your bathrooms. Sunlight is still able to easily pass through the glass so your house stays light and welcoming.
Intricately crafted handles...
Our patient, skilled craftspeople are all about creating excellence with details when it comes to making our handles.
Each one of our exceptional handles contain a secure locking system that will make sure the windows stay securely fastened as needed.

LEARN ABOUT OUR SLIDING SASH WINDOWS
Our range of windows combines the best of modern glazing with the traditional charm of sash frames. If you’re considering replacing your existing sash windows or upgrading your windows with ERG Scotland we expect you to have some questions. We’ve answered some common sliding sash window questions below, but if you can’t find an answer below or want a personalised quote contact our window design today for advice.
What are sliding sash windows?
Admired and adored for close to 500 years.
There is much dispute over the origins of the sliding sash window. Some claim that it derives from Holland, whilst others vehemently argue that it was first developed in France.
While we can’t give you a conclusive tracing of its beginnings, we do know that it’s existed since the end of the 16th Century and has vertically opening windows consisting of two framed window sashes, one positioned in front of the other.
These window units sit in frames with vertical grooves and it’s these grooves and the counterbalances e.g., cords and pulleys, that enable the frames to smoothly move up and down without pressing against each other.
How do you open sliding sash windows?
Opening a sliding sash window is easy work.
One of ERG’S window advisors can demonstrate how to open a sliding sash window in our Invergordon showroom, where we have the product displayed.
The window catch needs to be unlocked first, located on top of the sash, so that it’s in an open position.
Use the lift hooks to slide the bottom sash upwards. If there is a tilt facility, push the tilt buttons on the top of the bottom sash to make the window tilt inwards.
The top sash can be slid downwards using the D handle or ring pull and tilted inwards too once the bottom sash is tilted.
There are tilt catches on the top of the sash and they both need sliding simultaneously towards the middle of the sash so that the top sash can be tilted inwards.
How can I customise my sliding sash windows?
Fully customise our windows.
We want you to get sliding sash windows that look exactly how you want them to, and so are happy to let you customise their design, inside and out.
Tailor them to your home, beginning with the choosing of a window style to suit the kind of property you own, and then select a window material.
The windows also need configuring. You could stick with a like-for-like configuration or shift to a different window arrangement (functional preferences will decide this) if you fancy a change of shape.
For some, colour is the most important customisable element of all.
Our broad colour spectrum features muted and vibrant finishes, and you can request a dual-coloured window to contrast the internal and external sides of the frames.
From colour, move on to the glazing, which is where things like energy efficiency, privacy, and security come into the equation.
And the final thing is to furnish the windows with furniture – handles, locks, hinges etc.
Are sliding sash windows suitable for conservation homes?
Accepted by planners in many conservation areas.
Guidelines for window replacements in conservation areas are very strict to prohibit changes being made to historic buildings that may diminish their character.
ERG’s windows brilliantly replicate the styling and finishes of historic windows, which works in their favour when assessed by planners.
UPVC is more readily accepted as a window material for window upgrades at period homes than it used to be as modern UPVC can be made to look incredibly timber-like.
We’ll consult with your local authority to check they are happy with our authentic windows succeeding your old designs before we install them.
Do you provide aftercare for replacement windows?
ERG is here for you long after the completion of your installation.
Our relationship continues with you well after the completion of the replacement window project as the 20-year guarantee given out entitles you to receive aftercare, should you ever need it.
We obviously hope that you don’t experience any issues with your sliding sash windows (most of our customers don’t), but if you do, we’ll quickly be out to your home to resolve whatever has occurred so that they properly function and perform again.
Just call our friendly team to report any fault and a date and time will hastily be arranged for one of our installers to pay a visit.
