Love the look of traditional timber windows, but not the rot, repainting and sticking that come with them? Glitz Windows & Doors supplies and fits aluminium flush sash windows across South London and Surrey. You get slim frames, crisp lines and a period look, backed by the strength and low upkeep of modern aluminium.
In a flush sash window, the opening sash sits level with the outer frame instead of standing proud of it like a standard casement. When it’s closed, the window looks like one clean, flat surface, much like an original timber sash.
Aluminium takes that look further. The material is strong enough to hold large panes of glass in very slim frames, so you get more light and sharper detailing than you would with most other materials. Modern frames are thermally broken, which means an insulating barrier inside the frame stops heat from escaping. The result is a window that looks like it belongs on a period home but performs like a new one. See our full range of Aluminium windows for other styles and finishes.
You’ll sometimes see them called flush casement windows. It’s the same idea: a casement that opens outwards but sits flat within the frame.
Flush sash windows have the proportions and shadow lines of traditional joinery. Aluminium won’t rot, swell or need repainting every few years, so the look lasts without the weekend jobs.
Aluminium’s strength lets us keep frames narrow and glass areas large. Rooms feel brighter, and the windows look neat from both inside and out.
Thermally broken frames combined with double or triple glazing keep heat in and reduce draughts. They also take the edge off traffic and street noise, which matters on busy South London roads.
Multi-point locking and toughened glass options come as standard [confirm], so a period look doesn’t mean weaker security.
Powder-coated aluminium resists corrosion and fading, and holds its finish through years of British weather. A wipe-down now and then is about all it needs.
Choose from a wide range of RAL colours, from classic white and heritage greens to anthracite grey and black. Dual-colour finishes let you pick one shade for outside and another for inside.
Every window we supply is made to fit your exact opening, not a standard size. On period homes that matters even more, because openings are rarely perfectly square.
We can match the proportions, glazing bars and detailing of your existing windows, so the new ones sit naturally on the house. Options include:
A good window only performs if it’s fitted well. As experienced flush sash window installers, we look after every stage ourselves, so you deal with the same team from start to finish.
We visit your home, check each opening and talk through your options. You'll get a clear, written quote with nothing vague in the small print.
Together we choose the style, glazing, colour and hardware. We'll flag anything to consider early, such as conservation area rules.
Your windows are made to your exact measurements. We'll give you a realistic lead time up front so you can plan around the work.
Our flush sash window fitters remove the old frames, prepare the openings, and fit the new windows square, level and properly sealed. We protect your floors, keep mess down and clear up at the end of each day.
Before we leave, we test every window, adjust the hardware and show you how everything works. As a FENSA-registered installer, we handle the paperwork so your certificate comes to you.
If your timber windows are rotting or sticking, or your old uPVC has yellowed and lost its seals, replacement is one of the best upgrades you can make. You’ll notice warmer rooms, fewer draughts, better security and a much smarter look from the street.
We remove the old frames, make good around the openings and fit windows that suit the age and style of your home. You can replace a single window or the whole house, and we’ll keep the styles consistent so it all looks right.
If your home is in a conservation area or is a period property, we’ll help you choose designs that respect its character. Always check with your local planning authority before ordering.
You don’t always need new windows. If your frames are sound, a repair can be a much more affordable fix. We can usually sort:
If the frames are badly damaged or very old, we’ll tell you straight and talk you through replacement instead.
We've spent more than 25 years working on windows and doors across South London and Surrey. We know the local housing, from Victorian terraces to 1930s semis, and what works on each.
We're FENSA-registered, so your installation meets Building Regulations and you'll receive an official certificate. You'll need it when you sell.
You'll speak to people who know the area and are close enough to get to you quickly if something needs sorting.
Free measurements, a clear written price and no pressure to go ahead.
Posted on Google Barnaby DawsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adeel and his colleagues were very considerate and efficient. When an issue arose they resolved the matter quickly and to a high standard.Posted on Google Zayd WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had several quotes from the large national companies and local companies. From the outset Adeel from Glitz made me feel comfortable, no pressure selling like some of the others, no over quoting or recommending extra equipment that wasn't needed, just a fair and honest assessment. Once I received the quote Adeel was very attentive, giving us his time to make some final design choices which was really helpful as we were new to this. Throughout the process Adeel kept us informed and made us feel comfortable. The work was carried out well and the installers were great. Would recommend highlyPosted on Google Lilka JayTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Adeel and his team built a porch for me last week and I couldn’t be happier with the results. He had helpful advice about the design and kept me informed during the process. I can definitely recommend his company. Eliska HoarePosted on Google Valeria STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We recently had our French door replaced by Adeel and his team (Ali & Jib), and we couldn’t be happier! The door is of outstanding quality, beautifully made, and everyone who visits compliments it. Adeel has been incredibly kind from the start, accommodating every request with clear, easy communication. On delivery day, he even called to see if I was nearby so they could place it inside- such a thoughtful touch! The team was friendly, efficient, and professional. We’ll definitely call them again. Highly recommended!Posted on Google Gursharon BirdTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

From meeting Adeel for a quote to having our new windows installed, the whole process has been smooth and effortless. I was kept in the loop with delivery times and start dates and the guys who installed the windows were extremely polite and worked very quickly. They also tided up after themselves. Would recommended for anyone looking for new windows!Posted on Google Jay SmithTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. High quality customer service and quality of workmanship. Would highly recommend. Was a pleasure to work with this company.Posted on Google Gioia CattiniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Working with Adeel was great. He is a very good communicator, he listened to our requests carefully and gave us good suggestions on how to design the windows for a great looking result. The new windows are exactly how we wanted them to be and very good quality as well. The job was executed quickly but with attention to details. We had an issue with one of the window's handle but Adeel took charge of replacing it fast. We will definitely contact Adeel again gor future works.
It depends on the number of windows, their sizes, the layout, the glazing and the finish. Flush sash windows usually cost more than standard casements, and aluminium generally costs more upfront than uPVC. Get in touch for a free survey and an itemised quote for your home.
Both open outwards on side or top hinges. On a flush sash, the opening section sits level with the frame for a traditional, flat look. On a standard casement, it sits proud of the frame.
Yes. Their slim frames and flat profile closely match traditional timber joinery, which makes them a popular choice for Victorian, Edwardian and Georgian homes.
Often yes, but the rules are stricter. The council may ask for windows that match the original style, and some properties need consent. Always check with your local planning authority before ordering. We’re happy to advise at your survey.
Usually not. Replacing windows in a typical house is often permitted development. Exceptions include listed buildings, conservation areas with an Article 4 direction and some flats or leasehold properties.
With basic care, they can last for decades. The powder-coated finish resists fading and corrosion, and a wipe-down now and then is usually all they need.
Often they can be repaired. Misted glass, worn hardware, tired seals and sticking sashes are all common fixes. If the frames are badly damaged, replacement may make more sense. We’ll take a look and give you an honest answer.
