What Are The Benefits Of Sash Windows?
Sash Windows Have A Traditional Charm
Sash windows are the classic old-world style of windows with a very traditional feel and are often viewed as the symbol of traditional architecture. 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
For over a century, sash windows have been a popular choice for homeowners because of their classic looks and excellent energy-saving properties. When specified and installed correctly, they can be a cost-effective way to regulate temperature and minimize the effects of draughts.
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. 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. And the best part about our windows is that they are stronger and more reliable than even the highest quality traditional windows! Our reinforced springs prevent sagging and bending, even in the worst conditions, so you won’t have to worry about replacing any parts.
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. Sash windows are a cost-efficient way of giving character and charm to your home. Have a question? Contact one of our experts Simply get in touch with Ace Glazing Thornton-Heath for your free quote.

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We offer a variety of sash window types and styles. There are a variety of ways to arrange the number and location of panes in each type of window. These are some of our most popular window styles:
Box Sash Windows
A box sash window is one of many styles of sash windows we install. It’s a traditional style window that features two vertical wooden or metal sections – the upper and lower sashes which can 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. This is achieved by a unique tapered-rail device, which adds extra depth to the window frame. 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. In addition to triple glazing and warm edge sprigging, box sash windows offer attractive features that are visually pleasing whether viewed 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. Unlike traditional windows, a Spring balanced sash window can be opened wider 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. With their advanced double-glazing glass design, they’re also more energy-efficient.
We use the traditional method of elongated slots and wooden ‘springs’ to provide tension for the windowpane to move with ease but still hold firm in all conditions. 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. These additions create an original look in period properties when installed discreetly. As part of our commitment to quality and style, we matched the Georgian sash with our two sills and arches. The period design you will receive from us will be made out of top-class authentic parts to ensure quality craftsmanship.
Victorian Sash Windows
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. The bottom half of the frame slides up and down to open or close, while the top half stays stationary. Window sashes made in a Victorian style are still among the most common types in use today. The reveal is the space left between the bottom edge of the sash and the frame, and it naturally creates openings for cold air to enter. The classic look can be enhanced further by adding ornate crowns or returns to 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. Alternatively, they can be made with single, double, or triple glazing. Get this charming window style today to complete your period home.
