In House Manufactured uPVC Sash Windows
Our Legacy uPVC sash windows are one of our most popular home renovations. We manufacture these sash windows in house here in Brighouse, West Yorkshire, ensuring the absolute best in quality and performance.
Our massive area coverage allows us to work with trade partners across the country, and we can manufacture all sorts of styles, including Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian. You won’t find an uPVC sash windows system that offers greater authenticity than our Legacy model.
Modern Window Materials
Quickslide’s Legacy sash windows are made using only the best materials from our partnering uPVC extruder, Spectus. Advanced materials matched with our expert fabrication have enabled us to achieve an evolutionary design for our secondary glazed sash windows that certainly doesn’t disappoint in aesthetics, performance or security.
One of the key advantages of our uPVC sash windows is that they can last much longer than their timber counterparts with much lower maintenance requirements. uPVC can resist warping and won’t splinter, crack, or fade from harsh British weather conditions.
uPVC Sash Window Designs
Our uPVC sash windows are designed to be the perfect timber replica. Their composition makes them a perfect solution for conservation areas and other heritage buildings. They slide vertically and can also tilt within the frame, providing an easy maintenance solution for homeowners in your coverage area.
Additional design features, such as run through sash horns and a deep bottom rail, are available to add an authentic touch of class to the uPVC sash windows. Plus, we are pleased to offer 90 degree mechanical joints for a sash window replacement that doesn’t compromise on the original aesthetic. The 90 degree mechanical joints and seamless welds are available for woodgrain foil only. There are also seamless welds available for woodgrain only that disguise the 45 degree weld completely for those looking for a completely uninterrupted finish.
With our optional authenticity features, these windows can look as close to timber as possible while granting much higher energy efficiency, security, and lower maintenance requirements. As a brand new feature, we'll also soon offer a slim mid rail as an option for our uPVC sash windows.

Weatherproofing
Our Legacy uPVC sash windows are built to last and to resist the ever changing conditions the British weather throws at them, all without losing their immaculate appearance. An aesthetically pleasing weather bar and high quality integral window cills add additional and unique levels of defence against rainwater. Our colour matched wool piles also add robust seals against wind and rain while maintaining a seamless aesthetic.
Thermal Efficiency
The frames and sashes are multi chambered and use the power of specialised argon gas to help trap heat between the panes. Our modernised double glazed sash windows can make an excellent timber replacement as they can achieve an energy rating of ‘A’. Additionally, they can reach a U-value as low as 1.4 W/m2K. Homeowners can stay warm year round when you choose Quickslide.

Our double glazed sash windows deliver the most advanced levels of security without adding complex operations. They are practical and come with all the safety features a homeowner would need. They have the option to take advantage of a comprehensive high security PAS 24 package, which meets the latest requirements for new builds.

Our Legacy model offers nothing but the highest quality, as well as meeting our high standards for aesthetics, performance, and security.
There are many aesthetics that fall under the “sash” style. These include Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian. Quickslide can provide each of these styles and can even provide curved variations, which you can find here.
Are Sash Windows Energy Efficient?
Quickslide double glazing is filled with argon gas to provide optimal thermal efficiency. Homes can stay warm and stylish when you choose Quickslide.
How Secure are Sash Windows?
Quickslides come with modern locking mechanisms and are made with highly durable materials that can resist warping and sudden blows. We also offer a PAS 24 upgrade package for those serious about security.
Double glazing is more robust than singular glazed panes due to the thicker doubled up panes, making them harder to break through while also being more energy efficient.
