What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are the epitome of traditional architecture. They create the classic old-world style and are a clear display of class, elegance, culture and sophistication. 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
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. 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
One of these features is the additional weight added to the sash of a window which prevents them from being easily lifted. 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
Sash windows are low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. It takes a certain skill to open them. To reduce the risk of rust, the moveable components are sandwiched between two incredibly strong hardwood sides, often with a layer of felt or weatherstripping in between. And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install several types of sash windows. Each window type has many variations in the number and location of its panes. These are some of our most popular window styles:
Box Sash Windows
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. There are two vertical wooden or metal sashes of this window, each of which can be opened for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. Our box sash window frames come in a range of wood finishes that perfectly blend with your home’s exterior design. By using a series of tapered rails, an extra depth is added 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. 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
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. The balance of the window is spring-loaded, so there is no handle to pull, and once it is opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. The energy-saving properties of their innovative double-glazed glass design make them even more cost-effective.
To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. 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. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly. Detailed work is important to us at Ace Glazing Chichester, and the Georgian sash along with the columns and arches are real statements 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
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. One of the most popular window styles in today’s market is the Victorian sash. 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. Various glazing configurations are also available, including single, double, and triple glazing. Bring a unique touch to your period home with this delightful window style.

You can use them in new projects, and they add a sense of character to existing or new houses. The distinctive shapes of Edwardian sash windows of the era are outstanding.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
There are different frames available for our sash windows, so you can choose the one that is best for you.
Sash UPVC
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
Aluminium Frames
Frame materials like aluminium are some of the most versatile on the market. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
Composite Sash
Composite sashes are made from a high-density polyethene (HDPE) core sandwiched between two sheets of aluminium, creating a sash that is both strong and durable. A latex acrylic finish is applied over the frames to protect them from UV rays, weathering, animal damage, and chemicals that might lead to corrosion.
Wood
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Quality, elegance, and design are three major factors that don’t compromise wood frames in any way. They meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!
