Specialist manufacturers of PVCu Vertical Sliding Box Sash Windows ...It's All We Make.

Newsflash! – 2008 see’s a number of window businesses fail…how can you avoid it affecting you?

Hello, welcome to the masterframe sash window website

This year has already seen a number of casualties in the “double glazing” industry, large and small. Often these failures are because they try to make lots of different products, doors, windows conservatories etc, very few concentrate on just one product.

When people find out about masterframe for the first time and learn we only make one product, (sliding box sash windows), they immediately expect one of two things:-

• we must either be the cheapest or
• offer exceptional quality and value to stay in business.

Let us start by stating, we are all about best value for you, our client and that we are probably the most expensive manufacturer of PVCu sliding sash windows in the UK, and that's by design.

Its NOT because we're greedy, seeking big "fat cat profits" at your expense.

It Is because we provide a greater choice, with more options and higher performing products, than any other manufacturer of PVCu sash windows, that if selected add costs to the window.......in other words you'll get what you pay for.

We do realise some people may be put off by this statement, fearing they are being overcharged or simply buying on price alone, believing "cheapest is best" then ripping off their own customers.

Fear not, we simply couldn't survive if our clients thought we were overcharging, we depend entirely upon sash windows so we must be competitive

Please be confident that due to the continual investment in design, innovations, and steadfast commitment to use only the highest quality components, (that alternative manufactures simply don't offer) YOU can select which of the features you'd like to include on your new windows, and frankly which are superfluous extras than simply aren't required for your particular circumstances

You see, masterframe specialise in sash windows, we don't make anything else, this means you specify precisely the product which best suits your property or business knowing its your choice to invest more or reduce down the specification you believe is best for you..

You may never have heard of masterframe, that's entirely expected, you see we tend to supply other window companies. That's not to say we are insignificant. We actually make more PVCu sash windows each week, than Everest, Anglian, Bowater Zenith and BAC make, all added together!

Formed in 1988, and focused on producing just sash windows, has enabled us to develop them to a level that others simply do not reach. Yes, that is a massive claim to make, one which we will happily explain on this site in detail.

Approved by planners, installed across the UK from Lands End (in the Lands End Hotel) to Highlands and Island of Lewis and the Hebrides, you'll find our products exceed your expectations, and change most people's perceptions of PVCu sash windows, even conservation officers.

Many companies are starting to offer sash windows as alternatives, their prices may at first glance appear more attractive, that's probably due to them not having an independent quality mark like the BBA, or not offering an energy efficient window like EST Its also guaranteed they wont have found, (let alone solved) the flaws in production that make masterframe sash windows unique.

Many companies are starting to offer sash windows as alternatives, their prices may at first glance appear more attractive, that's probably due to them not having

•  An independent quality mark like the British Board of Agreement BBA,
•  Or not offering an Energy Efficient sash window that’s Recommended by the Energy Savings Trust,  
• Or has not passed the Enhanced Security testing for sash windows preferred by the Police through their Secured by Design programme.
• And they’re guaranteed not to have found the weaknesses of design (let alone solved) the production flaws like  things like foam draught baffles, foam cill pads, Georgi clips and cross over joints, balance retaining clips are designed to solve (and come as standard on your sash windows)

We don't, make exaggerated claims, instead we seek to demonstrate exactly what goes into our products; the external bodies that check our quality; and answer your fears before you purchase new sash windows, allowing you to make a decision you are comfortable with, once you are satisfied they are the best sash windows for your project.

Our company seeks to revive sash windows as they were the finest design of window ever produced, and are still  the most efficient style of window for ventilation (due to convection and circulation). We aim to balance todays demands of every more energy efficient windows, carbon reduction and reducing global warming, with the needs of planners and conservation officers, who demand sympathetic fenestration which retains the style, design and character of the properties they are fitted into.

Since 1984 our MD has sought to revive the popularity of sash windows, having assisted the design of the UK’s first PVC sash window in 1985, making nothing else since 1991.

Although not a large company; we pride ourselves in producing great products, enabling installers of windows (whoever they may be) to provide fabulous sash windows that harmonise with their surroundings.

So how can we now help you, a buyers guide, glossary of terms, or perhaps you’d like to see the sort of company we are from the video library.

We await your questions, and being of service……. enquiry form.

Thank you for considering masterframe for your sash windows.
