Double glazed sash windows are an ideal choice for conservation areas or for those who wish to maintain the look and feel of a period property. You can opt for an authentic timber sash look or a maintenance free uPVC option available in woodgrain finishes

The window sash is the part of a window that opens and holds the glass and framework around the glass to keep it in place. Window sashes are extremely important to the overall construction and stability of the window. It is imperative that vinyl window sashes are multi-chambered and reinforced to prevent distortion. If a window sash is distorted, then this could cause issues with leakage and locking of the window itself.

The most important difference is that sash windows open vertically and casement windows normally open out or in like doors. Sash windows are the traditional window design and at Home Glaze we feel have a classic timeless style that look great in old and new houses alike. A casement window is a modern variant being more practical and offering benefits such as better security as the lock is constructed within the frame and ease of cleaning. Sash windows are more complex in construction and can require some maintenance unlike casement which is very much fit and leave.
