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. 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
The classic look and excellent energy efficiency of sash windows have made them a popular choice for homeowners for over a century. If they are bought and installed correctly, they can help save on energy bills and reduce the effects of draughts easily.
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 have long been recognised as robust and secure, with up to separate panels usually filled with broken glass to make a burglar’s task even more difficult.
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. There is a secret to unlocking 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. Here’s what’s even better: unlike other traditional windows, you’ll never have to replace springs once they break!
Sash Windows Will Increase The Value Of Your Home
In terms of real estate, a home’s windows are considered to be one of its most valuable assets. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home. Need help? Talk to Our Experts For a free quote on all your glazing needs, get in touch with Ace Glazing.

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install an extensive range of sash windows. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. These are some of our most popular window styles:
Box Sash Windows
As one of many styles of sash windows we install, box sash windows are among the most popular. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. The box sash windows give homeowners a clean and classic look by enhancing the outlook of any property and are also designed to blend seamlessly with the building structure, making them an aesthetically pleasing choice for homeowners. Tapered-rail devices at the window frame add depth by adding additional taper to the rails. These windows provide unprecedented levels of authenticity, craftsmanship, quality, and personalization. Modern box sash windows feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, making them both energy efficient and aesthetically appealing.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
A spring balanced sash is a window that has been modified to allow it to be used with a counterweight. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider up to 90 degrees. A spring balance eliminates the need for a handle; once the window is opened, it stays open until enough pressure has been built up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them 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. The combination of these features, combined with our weatherproof, lightweight, and paintable frames have proven to be the most popular choice for period and time-sensitive projects.
Georgian Sash Windows
Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that provides additional ventilation and provide a period style sash window. 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 Horsham. 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
Classic double-hung windows are Victorian sash windows. The bottom half of the frame slides up and down to open or close, while the top half stays stationary. Victorian sash windows are one of the most popular window styles in today’s market. The reveal is the space left between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame, and it naturally creates openings for cold air to enter. If desired, the classic look can be further enhanced by the addition of ornate crowns and returns. You can choose from a wide range of colours for our stunning, Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green stains that go well with any modern exterior design. They are also available in single, double, or triple glazing configurations. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.
Edwardian Sash Windows

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. Several historical features remain unchanged, which makes it unique. Edwardian sash windows that are traditional and authentic can fit any style and any job, but also will pay for themselves many times over thanks to the money you’ll save on your utility bills.

Sash Windows Frame Materials
You can choose from a variety of frame materials for your sash windows.
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. In addition to protection from UV rays, weathering, animals, and chemicals that might cause corrosion on the frames, a latex acrylic finish is applied over them to ensure their longevity.
Wood
When it comes to windows, wood is the best choice. The natural fibres of wood are biodegradable and renewable resources. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Sash wood frames at Ace Glazing Horsham offer a warm, cosy feel and come in both modern and traditional styles.
