A window sash is a framework of the window that holds the glass and other components in place. Typically, it is used in double-hung window styles, where one sash is positioned above another, allowing the upper or lower sections to slide up and down. Some of the more modern designs use the top down approach to the sliding mechanism, which can benefit families with smaller children to prevent them from accidentally falling. If you have young children, consider adding new sash windows with a fixed lower sashes and upper sashes that lower down, so you can have open windows without the worry.
Many properties may still have older, single glazed sash windows, which can leave you at a disadvantage for energy conservation.
If your windows are old and you feel a draft, it might be time to consider updating the windows around your home. Replacing single glazed windows with double glazed will help to increase and retain the warmth in your home, allowing you to save on annual energy costs. Installing double glazed sash windows is an investment that will pay for itself, and they can add the perfect compliment to the style of your home. You can restore the classic look and feel of older period-style homes, while adding value to the property and better security for your family.
