What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old 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
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
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. 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
Sash windows are easy to maintain, thanks to their design and high-quality materials that retain their integrity for many years. It’s all in how they open. They are sandwiched between two powerful hardwood sides, which are often weather-stripped or covered with felt and other materials to prevent leaks. 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
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else.

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. Here are our most popular sash windows:
Box Sash Windows
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. English in origin, this style became popular due to its efficiency for transferring heat and its lightweight material. Ace Glazing Wadhurst creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. It is accomplished by installing a special tapered-rail device that gives the frame extra depth. These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. Triple glazing and warm edge sprigging are also included in box sash windows, which offer attractive features your home can benefit from inside the home or outside.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Up to 90 degrees of opening can be achieved with a Spring Balanced sash window, much more than other traditional windows. As a result of the spring-loaded balance, there is no handle to pull, and once the window has been opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds to close it, the same way an automatic garage door does. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are 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. These features combined with our fully weatherproof, lightweight and paintable frames, have made them the number choice for period and time-sensitive 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. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties. As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. 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
Classically designed, a Victorian sash window is a double-hung window. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. Victorian sash windows are one of the most popular window styles in today’s market. A sash has a natural space between the bottom edge and the frame called the reveal, which naturally encourages cold air to enter through the frame. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. As well as single, double, and triple glazing, they are available in a variety of sizes. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.
