Sometimes we love the windows on our homes, with the character and the history they can offer to us. Sash windows in older houses have great visual charm, with framed panels of glass that typically open vertically or horizontally to allow for access to the outside, but they may not be in the best shape to offer optimal thermal insulation for your home. If you have older, single glazed sash windows, it can leave you at a disadvantage for energy conservation. 

Restoring older windows can be a difficult task to undertake, requiring the meticulous technique of disassembling the window frame and sash to make any necessary repairs or replacing any glass, and then putting it all back together again. The long labours involved with this method surely requires a love of the windows, and though it may be a cost you are willing to bear, many may not be able to afford the time or have the motivation needed for this kind of renovation. 

 you currently have sash windows that are worn from time and weather, you might consider replacing them with newer, more environmentally friendly windows. You can recreate the style and charm of your original sash windows and increase the insulation in your home, retaining more heat and helping reduce your energy consumption footprint.
