Upgrade to new sash windows but stay traditional
Sash windows became popular after the Great Fire of London in 1666. Many great designs of architecture featured sash windows and over the years the styles and functionality of the windows themselves have changed greatly but at the core of its design still remains the basic sliding action of opening and closing a window.
Today added features alongside the sliding action can make modern living even easier and much more practical. Offering a sophisticated design feature to any home, sash windows offer a timeless elegance and style that works well on both period properties and modern.
If you own a period property with original features including the traditional windows and doors you may be all too familiar with the dated functions and mechanisms your windows and doors have. Traditional sash windows have a list of problems and are known for being high maintenance.
Sticky runners that make opening and closing of the window difficult, awkward pulley and weight systems that interfere with ease of use, window frames that rattle in bad weather and maintenance jobs such as repainting the wooden frames all mean that a traditional sash window doesn’t exactly fit into modern easy living even though they look beautiful on your property.
