Sash & Case Windows

Sash and Case Windows - Supplied & Fitted

Sash and case windows are a traditional window style where two framed sashes (the moveable parts with glass) slide vertically within a "case" or frame, allowing for controlled ventilation. Often seen in historic buildings and conservation areas, they can be single or double glazed and feature modern improvements like energy efficiency and easy clean mechanisms while maintaining a classic aesthetic.

Components and Operation - Sashes : These are the vertically sliding panels of glass within the window frame. Cases : The main window frame or "case" contains channels for the sashes to slide up and down.

Key Features and Benefits

Ventilation - When opened, the sashes slide vertically, allowing airflow up to nearly half the windows height.

Aesthetics - They are an iconic feature in period properties, especially Georgian and Victorian homes, but can also be adapted for contemporary buildings.

Conservation - Sash and case windows are ideal for use in conservation areas and for replacing existing windows to maintain authentic period features.

Modern Performance - While traditional in appearance, modern sash and case windows can be single or double glazed, draught proofed, and feature modern hardware for enhanced security and energy efficiency.

Easy Cleaning - Some modern designs incorporate features like tilt mechanisms that allow the sashes to be tilted inwards, making them easier to clean from inside the room.
