What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. Sash windows are effective and practical, allowing natural light to filter into the room while keeping out the cold. Because they don’t move around like other types of windows, they make a great choice for an architect or engineer who wants classic aesthetics and high levels of efficiency.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. If they are bought and installed correctly, they can help save on energy bills and reduce the effects of draughts easily.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. The extra weight also helps slow down entry by a burglar due to the force needed to push the window up if there is resistance. Sash windows have long been recognised as robust and secure, with up to separate panels usually filled with broken glass to make a burglar’s task even more difficult.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
Sash windows are also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. There is a secret to unlocking them. Moveable parts are enclosed between two solid hardwood sides, often covered with an additional layer of felt or weather-stripping to prevent the elements from getting into them. And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
Sash Windows Will Increase The Value Of Your Home

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install an extensive range of sash windows. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. We have listed our most popular sash windows below:
Box Sash Windows
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. There are two vertical wooden or metal sashes of this window, each of which can be opened for ventilation. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. The box sash windows give homeowners a clean and classic look by enhancing the outlook of any property and are also designed to blend seamlessly with the building structure, making them an aesthetically pleasing choice for homeowners. Tapered-rail devices at the window frame add depth by adding additional taper to the rails. These windows feature authentic materials and premium decoration options, making them perfect for any style of home. Triple glazing and warm edge sprigging are also included in box sash windows, which offer attractive features your home can benefit from inside the home or outside.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with a counterweight. Up to 90 degrees of opening can be achieved with a Spring Balanced sash window, much more than other traditional windows. Because the balance is spring-loaded, there is no handle to pull, and once the window is opened, it will stay open until enough pressure builds up to push it closed, similar to an automatic garage door. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them more energy-efficient.
With elongated slots and wooden springs, we provide tension to allow the windowpane to move freely while still holding firm in all situations. The combination of these features, combined with our weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frames have proven to be the most popular choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
Georgian Sash Windows
Our Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that is perfect for those who require period style sash windows that provide additional ventilation. Installed in period properties, they are a discrete inclusion that adds to their charm. A real statement of quality and style, the Georgian sash with its two sills and arches are an important detail for us here at Ace Glazing Bexhill. We use top quality, genuine parts to ensure excellent quality so you can be sure you’ll get an awesome period design.
Victorian Sash Windows
Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. One of the most popular window styles in today’s market is the Victorian sash. Typically there will be a large gap between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame – this is called the reveal, and it naturally creates space that would allow cold air to enter through the frame. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look. Our stunning Victorian timber sash windows are available in a wide range of colours, including beautiful blue and green stained finishes to compliment any exterior. Alternatively, they can be made with single, double, or triple glazing. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
Sash UPVC
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
Aluminium Frames
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.
Composite Sash
Several layers of high-density polyethene (HDPE) with two layers of aluminium create a frame so strong and durable that, when replaced, it will last hundreds of years. The frames are then painted with an acrylic latex finish to protect them from UV rays, weathering, bird and animal damage as well as chemicals that can lead to corrosion.
Wood
Wood makes a great window material. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Plus, wood’s low perceived cost and high perceived quality meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!. Taking inspiration from traditional and modern styles, Ace Glazing Bexhill’s sash wood frames offer warm, cosy vibes.
