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. 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
Traditionally, sash windows have been popular among homeowners because of their classic looks and high energy efficiency. If they are bought and installed correctly, they can help save on energy bills and reduce the effects of draughts easily.
Sash Windows Offer Increased Window Security
The sashes (operating shutters) have a great impact on the window’s strength and its weight. Due to the heavier weight, breaking in is also substantially more difficult if there is resistance to pushing the window up. Sash windows are particularly secure and consist of three layers of glass, which makes it very difficult for a burglar to break into the property.
Sash Windows Are Low Maintenance
Sash windows are low maintenance thanks to their design and durable materials. It’s all in how 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 a vital investment, one of the most visible parts of a home, and a key factor in its overall value. Sash windows do create value in buildings, and because they stay open without the use of any additional equipment, they can ultimately help you save on energy costs. Would you like some help?

What Are The Types Of Sash Windows We Install?
We specialise in installing several types of sash windows. With each type, there are many variations in the number and location of panes per 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. A traditional style window, it includes horizontal wooden or metal rails that open for ventilation. This style originated in England and became popular due to its lightweight and efficiency in transferring heat. 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 feature authentic materials and premium decoration options, making them perfect for any style of home. The triple glazed and warm edge sprigging of box sash windows offer an attractive look from either inside or outside your home.
Spring Balanced Sash Windows
Using a spring balanced sash means modifying a window to use it with a counterweight. Spring balanced sash windows are capable of opening much wider than other traditional windows, up to 90 degrees. A spring balance eliminates the need for a handle; once the window is opened, it stays open until enough pressure has been built up to close it, similar to an automatic garage door. Additionally, the double-glazed glass design makes them more energy-efficient.
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. We attribute this to the weather-proof, lightweight, paintable frames we offer, that allows us to serve the needs of time-sensitive and period projects.
Georgian Sash Windows
We offer Georgian sash windows, which are unique types of windows that fit those with a need for a period style window that also provides ventilation. Their distinctive appearance adds originality to the properties of the era in which they are installed. Detailing is important to us at Ace Glazing Walthamstow and the Georgian sash fitted with our two sills and arches are a real statement of quality and style. We make sure the parts we use are of the highest quality to ensure quality work so you can get an authentic design you are sure to enjoy.
Victorian Sash Windows
A Victorian sash window is a classic double-hung sash window. Open or close the frame by sliding the bottom half up or down, while the top half stays stationary. Traditional Victorian sash windows remain one of the most common types of windows to this day. 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. Adding ornate crowns and returns to the top or bottom can further enhance the classic look. You can choose from a range of gorgeous colours for our stunning Victorian timber sash windows, including blue and green staining to complement any exterior.

uPVC frames provide excellent energy efficiency and resistance to the elements in our Sash Windows.
Aluminium Frames
There are many frame materials available in the marketplace and aluminium is one of them. In a window, it provides outstanding thermal properties despite its lightweight, rust resistance, and corrosion resistance.

Wood makes a great window material. Natural fibres such as wood are biodegradable and renewable. Plus, wood frames meet every standard criterion set by our customers… and can certainly meet yours!.
