Yorkshire sash windows are traditional horizontal sliding sash windows, where the sashes slide from side to side rather than moving vertically. They are commonly associated with traditional properties in Yorkshire and other parts of the UK.

What’s the difference between Yorkshire sash windows and vertical sash windows?

The main difference is the direction in which the sashes open. Yorkshire sash windows slide horizontally, while vertical sash windows slide upwards and downwards. The most suitable style will depend on your property’s original design and your requirements.
