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. 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
Since they offer classic looks and excellent energy savings, sash windows have long been a popular choice among homeowners. The right ones can reduce draughts and lower energy bills if they are purchased and installed correctly.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The added weight of the sashes (operating shutters) can prevent someone from lifting the window open. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. 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
Sash windows are low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. The secret is in the way they open. Moveable parts are enclosed between two solid hardwood sides, often covered with an additional layer of felt or weather-stripping to prevent the elements from getting into them. It also won’t need any spring replacement once it snaps, unlike other traditional windows!

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We install an extensive range of sash windows. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per window. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
Box Sash Windows
There are many styles of sash windows we offer, including the box sash. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. The heat-transfer efficiency and lightweight nature of this style contributed to its popularity in England. 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. It is accomplished by installing a special tapered-rail device that gives the frame extra depth. These windows are constructed with genuine materials and come with a choice of high-quality grills and lattices, making them the perfect choice for your home. Modern box sash windows feature triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, making them both energy efficient and aesthetically appealing.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it 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. Due to their innovative double-glazing design, these windows are also more energy-efficient.
To move the windowpane with ease in all conditions, we use traditional elongated slots and wooden springs to provide the tension needed. 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 provide additional ventilation and are perfect for homes that require period style sash windows. When installed, they are a discrete inclusion that adds an original look to period properties.
