What is a Sash window? Traditional Sash vs. Flush Sash
The Sash window was a design made popular in the 17th century, with Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian architecture reimagining the appearance. They have since advanced, bringing together timeless elegance and modern day technology.
This article will guide you through the available options for Sash windows, including benefits, styles and much more.
Traditional Sash windows
Our range of traditional Sash windows bring the aesthetics of the popular design, combining this with enhanced efficiency, sound insulation, security and low maintenance.
The vertical sliding Sash uses beautiful proportions and symmetry to retain the character of properties. Crafted with attention to detail, they bring the benefits of modern PVCu windows and operational simplicity of a traditional timber window.
Flush Sash windows
A Flush Sash window is sometimes referred to as a Flush Casement window. Rather than more traditional designs where sections overlap, the sashes fit flush with the outer frame, creating a more flat, sleek appearance that looks like the traditional timber windows.
Benefits of Sash windows
For those with outdated Sash windows, benefits of upgrading include:
- Outstanding energy-saving
- Improved sound insulation
- Exceptional weather-proofing
- Low maintenance
- Security peace of mind
