What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Inspired by classic design, they come in a range of styles and finishes, complementing architecture from new builds to period buildings. In addition to their beautiful aesthetic qualities, they are very effective in terms of energy efficiency, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while minimizing draughts through the frame, making them an ideal choice for modern buildings that seek 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. 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
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. A burglar also has a hard time forcing a window up if it is heavier due to the additional force required. Sash windows are particularly secure and consist of three layers of glass, which makes it very difficult for a burglar to break into the property.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
You can keep your sash windows in good working order with little attention needed thanks to their design, plus their durable material helps them last for many years. It’s all in how they open. 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. 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
Did you know that the condition of your windows can have a greater impact on the value of your home? Sash windows do create value in buildings, and because they stay open without the use of any additional equipment, they can ultimately help you save on energy costs. Would you like some help?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
Box Sash Windows
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. Ace Glazing Hove creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame. These windows are constructed with genuine materials and come with a choice of high-quality grills and lattices, making them the perfect choice for your home. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed from inside or outside your home.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it with a counterweight. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider up to 90 degrees. A spring balance eliminates the need for a handle; once the window is opened, it stays open until enough pressure has been built up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient.
The traditional method for providing tension for the windowpane to move with ease while holding firm is the use of elongated slots and wooden springs. These factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
Georgian Sash Windows
Georgian sash windows provide additional ventilation and are perfect for homes that require period style sash windows. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly. Detailed work is important to us at Ace Glazing Hove, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style.

Sash Windows Frame Materials

Composite Sash
Using high-density polyethene (HDPE) to strengthen the frame, we sandwich it between two metal pieces to create exceptionally strong and durable sashes.
