In this blog, we’ll be explaining the different advantages of sash windows, as well as what sash windows are and the difference between these and other types of windows. Our range of sash windows can give your home the refresh it needs, as well as plenty more practical benefits!
WHAT ARE SASH WINDOWS?
Sash windows are vertically opening windows that are commonly associated with traditional architecture and design. They are often referred to as sliding sash windows. Typically, they are made up of two sashes where one frame sits in front of the other. UPVC sash window frames have inbuilt weights that make them easy to open and stay in any position you set them at.
HOW ARE THEY DIFFERENT TO OTHER WINDOWS?
Our sash window have some notable differences compared to other windows. The most notable difference is the way they operate. Their vertical or horizontal opening makes them different from casement windows that open on a hinge. UPVC sash windows also have a classic look, which makes them great for adding a historic feel; however, other windows may have a more modern aesthetic.

Security

It prevents them from being opened from the outside, reducing the risk of unwanted people entering. With uPVC sash windows, it’s also easy to incorporate child safety features such as restrictors that can stop them from opening too far.

Ventilation and Insulation
The sliding feature of the uPVC sash windows allows them to easily ventilate and insulate a property. Their ability to open both at the top and bottom offers a large amount of ventilation, as warm air can escape through the top, leaving room for cold air to enter for maximum airflow. Sliding sash windows can also be adjusted easily for precise ventilation control. Sash windows are also just as good at insulating, with their weather-resistant qualities and additional glazing.
