What Are Spring Balance Sash Windows?
Timber sliding sash windows with spring balance use a spiral mechanism to counterbalance the weight of the sashes. Unlike traditional cord-and-weight systems that need a deep box frame, the springs are concealed within the frame itself – giving a slimmer, more streamlined profile.
That makes the spring option the natural choice when you want the classic vertical-sliding look but don't have the wall depth for a box frame. It's particularly popular for new builds, loft conversions, and extensions where modern construction leaves shallower reveals. If you're choosing between mechanisms, our guide to sash and casement styles explains the trade-offs.
The mechanism gives smooth, effortless operation and needs virtually no maintenance – there are no cords to fray or weights to adjust. Combined with modern double glazing and draught-proofing, these windows deliver excellent thermal performance without compromising on style.

When to Choose Traditional Weights
If your project calls for the traditional mechanism, see our timber sash windows on weights. For most other applications, spring balance offers the best combination of performance, practicality, and value. |
