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.

A great experience with these guys from beginning to end. We had 2 windows replaced and had them altered to larger sizes. Also had 2 doors replaced, one to a full size which meant taking out walls and sidelights. A messy job but the team came in and within 2 days it was out with the old ones, all rubble taken away, and new frames in. The second team then came in to install the glass and the bars and make good the walls inside and out to a fine finish. Couldn't fault it. Amazing work. Would and have recommended this company to everyone who has seen and admired our new windows and doors. A++++

A great experience with The Window Sanctuary. They supplied and installed some celestial windows and roof lights to a loft conversion that we carried out. It is a period property with original sash windows and it was important to us that the new windows were in keeping with the character of the original house. We are delighted with the finished product. The customer service was very good and they were amenable when our architect got carried away and the window sizes increased quite materially from the original quotation - thereby working hard to minimise the extra costs. The quotation process was quick and efficient. Their surveyor, Steve, was very professional and also had a strong technical knowledge to help advise us during the build stage. The installation team were very professional and worked extremely hard to get the windows fitted during poor weather. The lady on the front desk, Jeannette, was also very friendly/helpful despite my numerous calls to the office throughout the process. There were a few delays but this was the result of CoVid as opposed to anything in their control, and Simon worked hard to get the order pushed through the suppliers and installed promptly. I always like to support local businesses and this one did not disappoint. Will definitely use them again going forward for any further works. Thank you.

Really enjoyed dealing with the Window Sanctuary. The office team are very friendly and courteous and the installation team were good fun and very thorough. The finishing touches were beyond my expectations. We're delighted with our new windows and the enhanced view they provide.
