What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are a beautiful architectural creation that is often seen as the mark of a traditional style. In addition to their aesthetic value, these windows are excellent from an energy efficiency standpoint, as they allow natural light to filter behind them while mitigating draughts through the frame, resulting in popular choices for modern-day buildings seeking a classic aesthetic.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
Traditionally, sash windows have been popular among homeowners because of their classic looks and high energy efficiency. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. It also makes entry more difficult for burglars as a force is needed to push the window up in the case of resistance. 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. 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. Our windows are made with a patented technology that eliminates the need for traditional springs. This makes them a lot more durable than other windows, which means that you’ll never have to worry about any springs snapping!
Sash Windows Will Increase The Value Of Your Home
Windows are a vital investment, one of the most visible parts of a home, and a key factor in its overall value. As experienced window manufacturers, we know that sash windows are a cost-effective way to enhance the appearance and value of your property. Would you like some help?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install sash windows in many different styles and materials throughout the whole of the UK. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. Here are our most popular sash windows:
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 Polegate’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame. These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
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. Its spring-loaded balance prevents a handle from being used, so, once the window is open, it will stay there until enough pressure is applied to force it shut, like 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
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. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them. Detailed work is important to us at Ace Glazing Polegate, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements of quality and style. To ensure quality workmanship, we utilize only top-grade authentic parts, so you can ensure you’re getting a period piece that’s of the highest quality.
Victorian Sash Windows
Classically designed, a Victorian sash window is a double-hung window. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays 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. If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. You can choose from a range of gorgeous colours for our stunning Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green staining to complement any exterior. Alternatively, they can be built with a single, double, or triple glazing arrangement. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Despite their traditional usage in historic homes, Edwardian sash windows are increasingly being used in contemporary houses as well. Installing them in new builds or existing homes would add a touch of historic flair. The unique shape of Edwardian sash windows makes them distinctive.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
Various frame materials are available for our sash windows to meet your specific needs.
Sash UPVC
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium Frames
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.
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. 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
The best window material is wood. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Wooden sash frames from Ace Glazing Polegate provide a warm, cosy ambience, and are available in a variety of styles, from modern to traditional.
