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. 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
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. 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. 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 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 low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. The secret to opening them is hidden in plain sight. 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. 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.

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 most popular sash windows:
Box Sash Windows
Box sash windows make a beautiful addition to any home, offering functionality and beauty in harmony. 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 Hastings’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. 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. Box sash windows also feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, which provides attractive features that look good from inside or outside your home.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with 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. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them 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 factors have made them the best choice for period and timely projects, in addition to their fully weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frame.
Georgian Sash Windows
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. Their distinctive appearance adds originality to the properties of the era in which they are installed.
