What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are the epitome of traditional architecture. They create the classic old-world style and are a clear display of class, elegance, culture and sophistication. They are also very effective from an energy efficiency point of view, as they allow natural light to filter behind them whilst mitigating draughts through the frame, often making them popular choices for modern-day buildings looking for a classic aesthetic.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. A burglar also has a hard time forcing a window up if it is heavier due to the additional force required. Sash windows also have historically been more secure than other types of windows because burglars have to break through layers/panels and they are usually back-filled with glass pieces on impact and therefore difficult to enter.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
Sash windows are easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. The secret to opening them is hidden in plain sight. Their moveable parts are sandwiched between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, often with a layer of felt or weather-stripping in between them to keep out the elements. Here’s what’s even better: unlike other traditional windows, you’ll never have to replace springs once they break!
Sash Windows Will Increase The Value Of Your Home
Windows are one of the most underrated and overlooked features of a home and in actuality, have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. Sash windows are a cost-effective way to improve the value and thermal efficiency of residential or commercial properties. Would you like some help?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. Here are our top-selling sash windows:
Box Sash Windows
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. These windows have two vertical wood or metal components; the upper and lower sashes open to allow for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. Tapered-rail devices at the window frame add depth by adding additional taper to the rails. These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. Modern box sash windows feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, making them both energy efficient and aesthetically appealing.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash windows, up to 90 degrees. The balance of the window is spring-loaded, so there is no handle to pull, and once it is opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design.
We use the traditional method of elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ to provide tension for the windowpane to move with ease but still hold firm in all conditions. Combined with lightweight, weatherproof, and paintable frames, our products have become the top choice for time-critical projects.
Georgian Sash Windows
These Georgian style sash windows provide extra ventilation and are an excellent choice for those in search of period style sash windows. Installed in period properties, they are a discrete inclusion that adds to their charm. At Ace Glazing Worthing, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement of quality and style 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
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. To open or close, the bottom half of the frame slides up and down, but the top half remains stationary. The Victorian sash is very traditional, and still make up one of the most common styles of windows today. 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. In addition to the classic look, ornate crowns and returns can be added at the top and bottom. 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. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Edwardian sash windows have long been a mainstay in historic homes, but many people are finding that they work well in contemporary settings as well. Regardless of the age of the home, these can add historic style to new or existing structures. Edwardian sash windows are typified by their unique shape. Several historical features remain unchanged, which makes it unique. Our traditional and authentic Edwardian Sash Windows are not only a symbol of elegance and a refined design but also an investment that will pay for itself many times over with the amount of money you’ll be saving on bills.
In addition to having lower utility bills all year round, with Edwardian windows, maintaining double glazing will be much easier. Having trouble deciding what kind of windows you should install in your home? Get a free quote, call us today at 01273 257 599 to find the ideal match.
Sash Windows Frame Materials
Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Sash UPVC
Our Sash Windows are available in uPVC frames which are designed to offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium Frames
There are many different types of frame materials out there, but aluminium is the most versatile. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
Composite Sash
Composite sashes are made from a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium, creating a sash that is both strong and durable. To protect the frames against damage from the sun, weathering, animals, and chemicals, a latex acrylic finish is applied.
Wood
Whenever it comes to windows, wood is the ideal material. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. Plus, wood’s low perceived cost and high perceived quality meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
