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
Installed correctly and maintained properly, sash windows are the ideal choice for any homeowner who wants to save energy. It is possible to save on energy bills and reduce draughts by installing them correctly.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. Having the window extra heavy also makes it more difficult for a burglar to break in, since a stronger force is required to lift the window 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. The secret is in the way 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. 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
The windows of a home can have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else.

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install sash windows in many different styles and materials throughout the whole of the UK. Each type of window can have many variations in how many panes are in it and where they are located. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
Box Sash Windows
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. They feature two vertical sashes – upper and lower – that are made from wood or metal and can be opened for ventilation. Developed in England, this style was popularized for its lightweight and excellent heat transmission. Ace Glazing Littlehampton’s box sash windows are also characterised by a warm and stylish exterior design that blends seamlessly with the architecture of your home. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame. These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. 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
Window components that have been modified to work with a counterweight are known as spring balanced sashes. Sash windows with Spring balance can be opened wider than traditional sash windows, up to 90 degrees. 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. 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. Detailing is important to us at Ace Glazing Littlehampton and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement 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
Essentially a classic double-hung sash window, a Victorian sash window boasts a classic double-hung design. To open or close, the bottom half of the frame slides up and down, but the top half remains stationary. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day. There is typically a large gap below the sash where the frame meets the bottom edge – this is called the reveal, and it allows cold air to enter through this space. You can further enhance the classic look by adding large, ornate crowns. 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. Alternatively, they can be made with single, double, or triple glazing. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.
