What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are the classic old-world style of windows with a very traditional feel and are often viewed as the symbol of traditional architecture. These windows ensure you get a seamless visual link between the inside and outside of a building, whilst also promoting openness and freshness in airflow.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. It is possible to save on energy bills and reduce draughts by installing them correctly.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. Having the window extra heavy also makes it more difficult for a burglar to break in, since a stronger force is required to lift the window 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 easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It’s all in how they open. 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 the best part about our windows is that they are stronger and more reliable than even the highest quality traditional windows! Our reinforced springs prevent sagging and bending, even in the worst conditions, so you won’t have to worry about replacing any parts.
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. Need help?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. Here are our most popular sash windows:
Box Sash Windows
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. There are two vertical wooden or metal sashes of this window, each of which can be opened for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Ace Glazing Portslade-By-Sea’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. It is accomplished by installing a special tapered-rail device that gives the frame extra depth. 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. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either 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. 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. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient.
To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. 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. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them. Detailing is important to us at Ace Glazing Portslade-By-Sea and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style. The period design you will receive from us will be made out of top-class authentic parts to ensure quality craftsmanship.
Victorian Sash Windows
Double-hung sash windows can be described as Victorian sash windows. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day. 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. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Finish your period property with this delightful window style today.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Although Edwardian sash windows have long been popular in historic houses, they are also becoming more popular in contemporary homes. They can be installed in new builds, and they add historic flair to new or existing homes. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape. Some of its historical elements remain intact, which make 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.
Edwardian windows will take the hard work out of maintaining double glazing, and all year round you can enjoy the benefits of lower utility bills thanks to improved insulation.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
Sash UPVC
A uPVC frame is available for our Sash Windows; these windows provide well-insulated and energy-efficient solutions.
Aluminium Frames
Aluminium is one of the most versatile frame materials out there. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
Composite Sash
Our composite sashes are made of a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two pieces of aluminium creating an extremely strong and durable frame. A latex finish helps protect the frames against UV rays and weathering, as well as animals and pollutants that can cause corrosion.
Wood
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!. Taking inspiration from traditional and modern styles, Ace Glazing Portslade-By-Sea’s sash wood frames offer warm, cosy vibes.
