What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Inspired by classic design, they come in a range of styles and finishes, complementing architecture from new builds to period buildings. Sash windows are effective and practical, allowing natural light to filter into the room while keeping out the cold. Because they don’t move around like other types of windows, they make a great choice for an architect or engineer who wants classic aesthetics and high levels of efficiency.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. 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 added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. The extra weight also helps slow down entry by a burglar due to the force needed to push the window up if there is resistance. Sash windows are strong and secure, so they have remained popular today. To break them, the burglar would have to shatter thick glass panels.
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. 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. And here’s the best part: unlike other traditional windows, you won’t have to worry about replacing any springs once they snap!
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. 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. Need assistance?

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. Here are our top-selling 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. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Ace Glazing Cuckfield creates top-quality, dual-purpose box sash windows that are characterized by a contemporary design and top-quality craftsmanship. Tapered-rail devices at the window frame add depth by adding additional taper to the rails. The windows are made from high-quality materials and decorated with premium materials to fit any home style. 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
Spring balanced sashes are windows that have been modified to allow them to use a counterweight. Up to 90 degrees of opening can be achieved with a Spring Balanced sash window, much more than other traditional windows. 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.
The traditional method for providing tension for the windowpane to move with ease while holding firm is the use of elongated slots and wooden springs. 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
We offer Georgian sash windows, which are unique types of windows that fit those with a need for a period style window that also provides ventilation. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly. A real statement of quality and style, the Georgian sash with its two sills and arches are an important detail for us here at Ace Glazing Cuckfield. 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
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. 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. 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. In addition to the classic look, ornate crowns and returns can be added at the top and bottom. There is a wide variety of colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a beautiful blue and green stained finish that will complement any exterior. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Finish your period property with this delightful window style today.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
The frame material for sash windows can be varied according to the customer’s preferences.
Sash UPVC
uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
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
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
Wood windows are the best option. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. 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.
