Sliding sash windows are a type of window characterised by their unique design that allows one or both sashes (the movable frames that hold the glass) to slide vertically within the frame. This style dates back to the 17th century and is a hallmark of traditional British architecture. Sliding sash windows consist of several components, including the upper and lower sashes, pulleys, and weights, which work together to ensure smooth operation. Available in a variety of materials, such as timber for a classic look or modern uPVC for enhanced durability and energy efficiency, these windows are customisable to fit different architectural styles.
