The VS600 vertical sliding sash window from Smart can be used in heritage and conservation areas, while its excellent and natural ventilation rates mean that it’s also suited to high rise buildings.
Thanks to a flush opening with no projection into or out of the building, this window is ideal for commercial buildings such as schools or hospitals.

All our aluminium sliding sash windows are available with a choice of high-performance glazing to suit your project requirements:
We specify the optimal glass configuration for each project based on thermal performance, acoustic requirements and Building Regulations compliance.
Colours & Finishes
All our aluminium sliding sash windows are powder coated using a Qualicoat-certified process and are available in the full RAL colour palette — over 200 standard colours plus bespoke colour matching for heritage and commercial projects.
A different colour can be applied to the internal and external faces of any frame — allowing the exterior to meet planning requirements or match the building's facade while the interior colour coordinates with the internal design scheme.
Dual-colour finishes are a popular choice for windows — anthracite grey or black externally with a clean white internal finish to match your interior.
Anodised aluminium provides a harder, more scratch-resistant surface than powder coat and is available in natural silver, bronze, champagne, and dark grey anodised finishes — commonly specified for commercial projects, high-traffic environments, and where a metallic appearance is required.
RAL and NCS colour matching is available for projects requiring an exact match to an existing material, manufacturer specification, or architect's colour schedule. Samples are available on request prior to order.
