What Are Sash Windows?

Sash windows are a type of window that consists of one or more movable panels, or "sashes," that slide vertically within the frame. This classic design is popular in period homes, offering a distinctive aesthetic with the added benefit of ventilation and easy cleaning. Sash windows can be made from a variety of materials, including timber, uPVC, and composite, allowing you to choose the option that best suits your needs.

Benefits of Sash Windows:

• Aesthetic Appeal: Sash windows bring an elegant, classic look to both traditional and modern properties, elevating the curb appeal of your home or business.
• Natural Ventilation: The sliding sashes allow for controlled airflow, promoting ventilation and improving indoor air quality.
• Energy Efficiency: Modern sash windows are designed with energy efficiency in mind, helping to keep your property well-insulated and reducing energy bills.
• Ease of Maintenance: Newer sash windows are easy to clean, with some models offering tilt-in features that allow for hassle-free maintenance.
• Noise Reduction: Double-glazed or acoustic sash windows can provide significant noise reduction, creating a quieter living environment.
