The Window Sanctuary provides excellent timber sash windows in Tonbridge. Timber sash windows exude charm, capturing the magic of the Victorian era while providing a warm and comfortable living space free from draughts. If timber sash windows have caught your eye on homes around Tonbridge, then The Window Sanctuary is delighted to help you create this spectacular look for your home. The Window Sanctuary is Tonbridge’s local expert for timber sash windows.
At the Window Sanctuary, we provide two types of sash windows in Tonbridge that suit properties of all periods, including Edwardian, Victorian, or Georgian.
Our traditional sash windows are made of timber and are highly recommended as they offer 28mm double glazed units with the highest energy rating, providing thermal efficiency and compliance with recent building regulations.
Our products undergo a rigorous 5-stage process to ensure they are protected and long-lasting. They are painted with 3 coats of micro-porous paint, allowing them to withstand the elements with minimum maintenance for up to 10 years. With over 200 RAL colours to choose from, these windows complement and improve the overall look of your home.
Our traditional timber sash windows are designed with lead weights and ropes within the frames to counter-balance the weight of the sash. We replace all ropes and weights when we install new windows. Alternatively, we can install a spiral balanced hinge instead, allowing the windows to open and close without the use of ropes and weights. You can also specify bespoke window furniture such as Fitch fasteners or Board & Clasp fasteners.
For period properties with existing timber windows, we offer heritage sash windows that replicate the original designs and can accommodate high-performance, slimline, sealed units. Heritage sash windows are suitable for listed buildings or those in conservation areas and are designed with twelve individually glazed units. This option is much better than installing secondary-glazing, and we can assist with your planning application if required for a nominal fee.
Upgrade your sash windows in Tonbridge with the Window Sanctuary and enjoy the fresh character and warmth they will bring to your home.
Energy saving insulation
With our energy-efficient thermafloat warm-edge sealed units, our timber sash windows offer an exceptional overall U value of 1.5 w/m2k. By upgrading to the glazed version, you can enjoy an even lower U value of 1.1 w/m2k, keeping your home warm and reducing your heating costs. To ensure maximum protection from draughts, our seals are made from Q-Lon, and our lockable furniture is PAS 24-compliant. Choose from a wide variety of quality fittings available in complementary finishes.
OUR 5-STAGE PROCESS
A rigorous 5-stage process ensures that each of our products is protected and painted, and can withstand the elements with minimum maintenance.
Our method is:
Stage 1 – A chemical dip to minimise moisture absorption
Stage 2 – A chemical dip to protect against fungi, insect infestation, and mould growth
Stage 3 – Application of primer and undercoats using micro-porous products
Stage 4 – Spray finish first coat according to your colour choice
Stage 5 – Spray finish second coat
Micro-porous paints allow all timber fibres to be penetrated and to build up protection from within, unlike cellulose paints which form a skin on the outer face and require time-consuming treatments on a regular basis. To keep new products in pristine condition, we recommended a quick wipe down and a further coat be applied after approximately 7 years.

Emma, Susanne and the team offer a first class service from start to finish. It's the second time we've used The Window Sanctuary, and we will continue to do so as we change more of our windows and doors. Great communication, great installation process, we love our windows! Thank you

I came to the Window Sanctuary after another window company had sold and fitted windows that were completely inappropriate for replicating the original 1920's Crittall windows, although this was the brief they had. The Window Sanctuary proved to have an entirely different approach: they could not have taken more care to ensure that every detail mirrored the Crittall originals, and that the windows were exactly what I wanted. I understand that the Window Sanctuary has generations of window making and fitting behind them, and it shows. Some of the new windows had to go into the original 1920's frames, and the WS fitting team's joinery skills were outstanding in being able to rout back the wood really carefully to make sure that the new windows had a completely solid fit. This was in contrast to the previous company's fitting team, who I can only describe as butchering the frames to get their windows in, causing a waterfall inside the windows when it rained. The Window Sanctuary are a team of very skilled craftsmen: I learned first hand how rare this is. Thank you.

We used The Window Sanctuary for two jobs on our property, a complete replacement of windows on our barn and then on our main home. I think in total over 40 windows or so including internal doors and substantial bifolds. All in all we worked together for just under 2 years and it was totally seamless, from design stage all the way through to final installations. Honestly I cannot recommend Oliver, Geoff and team enough, and I love that they are a local business - the service really was too notch.

We had a few quotes for 2 x black aluminium windows and French aluminium doors with fixed side panels. The Window Sanctuary were the most competitively priced and were quick to respond to our quote request and follow up questions. The timeline they gave for delivery and installation was accurate and the installers did a great job. We are really happy with our high quality and stylish looking doors and windows! Makes such a difference to our house.

The Window Sanctuary replaced all my old Crittal Windows with slimline heritage aluminium windows to retain the period look of my grade 2 listed property and furthermore replaced the old rotten timber sash windows with new hardwood timber sash windows bringing the property back to life. The guys were hardworking very knowledgeable and very professional I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm highly enough Warm regards Fraser Owen

From the start The Window Sanctuary were friendly and polite and a pleasure to deal with. They offered lots of advice, especially helpful as our installation was a little tricky. We also had lots of issues with our extension which caused delays our end, which The Window Sanctuary worked around, even though it meant the installation had to be carried out in two lots, when initially it was meant to happen in one go - they were very accommodating and patient, thank you! Would definitely recommend.

The Window Sanctuary supplied and installed our patio doors. We are extremely happy with the service they provided and couldn’t be happier with how the doors have turned out. They are exactly the look and quality that we were after.
