Love the look of traditional timber windows but not keen on the sanding, painting and draught-proofing that comes with them? Flush sash windows could be exactly what you’re after. At Glitz Windows, we design, manufacture and install flush sash windows across South London and Surrey, bringing that authentic period look to character properties without any of the upkeep real wood demands.
Whether you’re in a Victorian terrace in Croydon, a cottage-style semi in Surrey, or a new-build that just needs a bit more kerb appeal, our flush sash range is designed to suit the property, not fight against it.
A flush sash window is a style of window where the opening sash sits flat or “flush,” within the outer frame, rather than sitting proud of it like a standard casement window. This creates the same clean, chunky sightlines you’d see on an original timber sash window, but it’s built using modern uPVC or aluminium profiles.
The result is a window that looks the part on a period property — think slim glazing bars, deep frame profiles and crisp shadow lines while giving you all the practical benefits of a modern glazing system: better insulation, tighter seals and far less maintenance than timber ever could offer.
They’re sometimes called flush casement windows and you’ll often see them recommended for conservation areas and listed-adjacent properties where planning officers want to preserve a street’s traditional character.
From cottages to conversions, our flush sash windows are designed to complement the architecture they're fitted to, keeping the character of the property intact rather than fighting against it.
Built from weatherproof, UV-stable materials, our flush sash windows are designed to perform for decades with minimal fading, warping or seal failure — a stark contrast to timber frames that need regular attention to avoid rot.
Better thermal performance and sound insulation add up to a home that's quieter, more even in temperature and cheaper to heat — comfort improvements you'll notice from the first week.
We’re a South London and Surrey-based window company that focuses on getting the small details right — the ones that separate a flush sash window that looks genuinely period-appropriate from one that looks like an obvious retrofit. Every installation is measured, manufactured and fitted by people who understand character properties, planning sensitivities and the practical realities of retrofitting older homes.
You’ll get straight answers, a fair, itemised quote and a fitting team that turns up when they say they will — no pressure, no hard sell, just honest advice on whether flush sash is the right fit for your property.

Flush sash windows can be manufactured in a couple of different frame materials and the right choice depends on your property, budget and the look you’re after.
Our uPVC flush sash windows are the most popular choice for homeowners after a timber look without the timber price tag. They come with excellent thermal performance, low maintenance and a wide choice of woodgrain foils and heritage colours — a good fit for terraces, semis and cottage-style homes across South London and Surrey.
For homeowners after slimmer sightlines and a more contemporary edge, an aluminium flush sash window is a strong option. Aluminium frames are slimmer and stronger than uPVC, allowing for larger panes of glass and they hold up well against warping, making them a good fit for extensions and more modern period blends.
Our fitters are trained, punctual and respectful of your home or workplace. We protect floors and furnishings, keep dust to a minimum, and clear up properly before we go. You'll always know who's coming and when.
You'll get a clear, itemised quote with no hidden extras and no pressure to sign on the spot. We explain what affects the price so you can compare like with like, and we're happy to quote for different materials side by side.
We're based on Chipstead Valley Road in Coulsdon, and we've been fitting windows across South London and Surrey for over 25 years. Much of our work comes through recommendations from neighbours and previous customers.
A good window is about the details: neat sealing, sashes that sit square, and handles that move smoothly. Every installation is checked and adjusted before we leave, so your windows open, close and lock exactly as they should.
Flush sash windows aren’t a one-size-fits-all product. We offer a range of configurations to suit different properties and openings, including:
Whatever the shape of your existing opening, our team can talk you through which configuration will keep your home’s character intact.

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.

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.
