What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are particularly popular at the moment amongst customers choosing to refit period properties, as they seamlessly complement historic features in old buildings. These windows ensure you get a seamless visual link between the inside and outside of a building, whilst also promoting openness and freshness in airflow.
Sash Windows Are Energy Efficient
Installed correctly and maintained properly, sash windows are the ideal choice for any homeowner who wants to save energy. They can reduce the impact of draughts and help save on energy bills if properly installed.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The sashes (movable shutters) have an added weight to prevent someone from accidentally lifting the window open. A burglar also has a hard time forcing a window up if it is heavier due to the additional force required. 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 also very cost-efficient, which is ideal for anyone looking to simply replace their old windows or add more to an existing home. The secret is in the way they open. 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
Windows are one of the most underrated and overlooked features of a home and in actuality, have more of an impact on its overall value than anything else. As experienced window manufacturers, we know that sash windows are a cost-effective way to enhance the appearance and value of your property. Need assistance?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. Some of the most popular sash windows we offer are:
Box Sash Windows
Box sash windows make a beautiful addition to any home, offering functionality and beauty in harmony. 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. Our box sash windows are perfect for modern homes, with an exterior design to suit a range of different buildings. In this case, the window frame is given additional depth by using a unique tapered-rail device. These windows are crafted from the highest quality materials, providing a classic look and modern soundproofing properties. 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
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. As a result of the spring-loaded balance, there is no handle to pull, and once the window has been opened, it will remain open until enough pressure builds to close it, the same way an automatic garage door does. They’re also more energy-efficient thanks to their innovative double glazed glass design.
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. 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
Our Georgian sash windows are a unique type of window that is perfect for those who require period style sash windows that provide additional ventilation. These components integrate discreetly into period properties and bring a sense of originality to them. Detailing is important to us at Ace Glazing Southwick and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style. 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
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. By sliding the bottom half up or down, and keeping the top half stationary, the frame can be opened or closed. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today. Typically there will be a large gap between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame – this is called the reveal, and it naturally creates space that would allow cold air to enter through the frame. In addition to the classic look, ornate crowns and returns can be added at the top and bottom. Our stunning Victorian timber sash windows are available in a wide range of colours, including beautiful blue and green stained finishes to compliment any exterior. As well as single, double, and triple glazing, they are available in a variety of sizes. Feature this charming window style in your period property today.
Edwardian Sash Windows
Although Edwardian sash windows have long been popular in historic houses, they are also becoming more popular in contemporary homes. They can be installed in new builds, and they add historic flair to new or existing homes. An important characteristic of Edwardian sash windows is their unusual shape. Several of its historical features remain intact, which makes it unique. Edwardian sash windows are unique and offer traditional styles to suit any job or style, as well as saving money because they are energy efficient.
As a result of enhanced insulation, Edwardian windows will make double glazing maintenance a breeze. Are you unsure of what windows are right for your home? Get a free quote, call us today at 01273 257 599 to find the ideal match.
Sash Windows Frame Materials
There are different frames available for our sash windows, so you can choose the one that is best for you.
Sash UPVC
Sash Windows come in uPVC frames that offer energy efficiency and insulation from the elements.
Aluminium Frames
Frame materials like aluminium are some of the most versatile on the market. When used in a window, this product provides excellent thermal performance as it’s lightweight, rust-resistant, and corrosion-resistant.
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
Wood makes a great window material. Several natural fibres make up wood, a renewable resource and biodegradable material. Not only does the wood frame meet every standard criterion set by our customers, but it also performs well and is reliable. Aesthetically and functionally, our wooden frames provide a warm, cosy feel, and they are available in a variety of designs, from modern to traditional.
