What types of home are sash windows suitable for?
Sash windows ooze character and can transform the look of any home. Whether you want to complement the look of a contemporary home or restore a traditional feel, we can tailor our service to suit you. Each installation is hand-finished and has all the visual attributes of traditional joinery.
Are Fairco sash windows suitable for conservation areas?
Fairco have installed windows in many listed buildings and conservation areas and we are very familiar with the standards set by local councils, such as types of materials and windows to be used.
For non-conserveration areas our heritage sash are unbeatably authentic. They are the pinnacle of sliding sash, with a sleek and slim profile that offers the greatest timber. For homes without such strict requirements, standard Fairco sash windows are the perfect choice, providing an authentic style with a modern performance.

How do the Fairco team help design the windows for each home?
Firstly, our team visit your home to get the exact measurement for every opening. Then they consult you on your interior colours, and see what will work well with your external walls – be they granite, render or redbrick. We then discuss the various design options as per the customers tastes. Our elegant sash windows are tailor-made to match your design needs.
Can sash windows be customised?
We offer an unparalleled variety of options to match the authentic look of a particular home, such as astragal bars, decorative horns, deep bottom rails and arched head sashes.
With optional seamless run through horns or unique seahorse horns we can replicate the style commonly found on Edwardian, Victorian or Georgian style windows. Although sash horns were purely decorative, they were often used by joiners to demonstrate superior craftsmanship and are a great finishing touch for homeowners looking for perfect timber style.

Of course. Colour and finishes are an integral finishing touch for our heritage sash windows. They are available in 10 colours, with the possibility to have different colours inside and outside.
