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. 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
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. 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 (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. Sash windows are known to be more secure than other types of windows because a burglar must break through the different panes of glass if they want to gain access.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
Sash Windows are easy to clean, and their design provides them with minimal upkeep. It takes a certain skill to open them. Most of their moving parts are encased between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, and a layer of felt or weather-stripping encloses them from the elements. It also won’t need any spring replacement once it snaps, unlike other traditional windows!
Sash Windows Will Increase The Value Of Your Home
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. 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. Have a question?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. 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
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can open for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. 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. 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
Windows with spring balanced sashes use a counterweight in addition to a balance spring. A Spring balanced sash window can be opened much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees of opening. 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. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient.
A traditional method of using elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ provides sufficient tension for the window to move freely without any hindrance, while still holding in place under all conditions. Combined with lightweight, weatherproof, and paintable frames, our products have become the top choice for time-critical projects.
Georgian Sash Windows
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly. At Ace Glazing Rye, our Georgian sash is fitted with two sills and arches to create a real statement of quality and style We make sure the parts we use are of the highest quality to ensure quality work so you can get an authentic design you are sure to enjoy.
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. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day. The gap beneath the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge is called the reveal, and it lets cold air into the house. 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. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.

Installing them in new builds or existing homes would add a touch of historic flair. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
Sash UPVC
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium Frames
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
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. In addition to protection from UV rays, weathering, animals, and chemicals that might cause corrosion on the frames, a latex acrylic finish is applied over them to ensure their longevity.
Wood
Wood windows are the best option. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Wood frames are widely used for their durability and natural appeal — making them popular among customers. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
