What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are a beautiful architectural creation that is often seen as the mark of a traditional style. They are also very effective from an energy efficiency point of view, as they allow natural light to filter behind them whilst mitigating draughts through the frame, often making them popular choices for modern-day buildings looking for 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. They can reduce the impact of draughts and help save on energy bills if properly installed.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. 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 also have historically been more secure than other types of windows because burglars have to break through layers/panels and they are usually back-filled with glass pieces on impact and therefore difficult to enter.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
You can keep your sash windows in good working order with little attention needed thanks to their design, plus their durable material helps them last for many years. It’s all in how they open. 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
Did you know that the condition of your windows can have a greater impact on the value of your home? If you’re renovating an older building or constructing a new one, sash windows will make the structure more desirable to potential buyers. Need help?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We specialise in installing 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
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. These windows have two vertical wood or metal components; the upper and lower sashes open to allow for ventilation. Originating in England, this style was largely popularised due to its lightweight and efficient heat transfer. Ace Glazing East-Grinstead 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. These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed from 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. 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. The energy-saving properties of their innovative double-glazed glass design make them even more cost-effective.
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. Combined with lightweight, weatherproof, and paintable frames, our products have become the top choice for time-critical 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. Installed in period properties, they are a discrete inclusion that adds to their charm. 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 East-Grinstead. 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
Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. 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. You can further enhance the classic look by adding large, ornate crowns. There are many beautiful colours available for our Victorian timber sash windows, including a lovely green and blue stained finish to match any exterior. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.

Sash Windows Frame Materials

Sash UPVC
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium Frames
The versatility of aluminium makes it one of the most widely used frame materials. Applied to windows, it provides excellent thermal properties because it is lightweight and rust-resistant at the same time.
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. To protect the frames against damage from the sun, weathering, animals, and chemicals, a latex acrylic finish is applied.
Wood
The best window material is wood. Wood is a renewable resource and is made from biodegradable natural fibres. 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!
