Sash windows are an integral part of traditional window frames, consisting of movable panels known as sashes that hold the glass panes in place. These windows have a rich historical significance and have been used in architecture for centuries. In this guide, we will explain what sash windows are and how they will improve your home. Read on to learn more. 

Benefits of Sliding Sash Windows

Sash windows offer numerous advantages that make them a popular choice for homeowners in Essex. One of the key benefits is their energy efficiency and insulation properties. The design of sash windows allows for effective sealing, reducing heat loss and improving the overall energy efficiency of the home. Additionally, sash windows provide excellent ventilation and airflow compared to other window types, allowing for a fresh and comfortable living environment.

At Chigwell Window Centre, we know that tour sliding sash windows are popular because of their authentic appeal. We manufacture our uPVC sliding sash windows to include some of the same design features, such as astragal bars and run through horns. As a result, your sliding sash windows offer a traditional look with all the modern benefits of uPVC. 

If you have timber windows that need replacing, we can offer uPVC sliding sash windows with a woodgrain finish. This could help give your windows a natural look without the extra maintenance. A new window could help increase the market value of your home, perfect if you want to sell it. We work with market leaders Quickslide to offer their full range of authentic sash windows.
