There are several different names which sash windows are often refered to by, however they are all part of the same type of window that you may want to consider for your property. The sliding sash windows that we have in our collection are incredibly popular and this is the name you will often hear them called.
What’s the difference between a double hung sash window and a box sash window
however the box sash window, or double hung sliding sash, is another name that you may see used quite a lot. This term refers to those timber sash windows where it is possible to slide the bottom sash up to open the window, or the top sash down. Essentially these timber sash windows all work following the same principle but many people prefer the greater flexibility that comes with a box sash window.
We offer both types of style within our collection because we understand just how important it is to get the details of your new sliding sash windows just right for the character and location of your home.
How much maintenance do wooden sash windows need?
We would be lying if we didn’t point out that wooden sash windows will require some maintenance in order to keep them looking their very best. However the requirements are the same as with any other timber on the exterior of your property.
Check your sash window frames regularly for any signs of damage to the paintwork or timber and if you find any issues you can deal with them promptly. This will help prolong the life of the wood and keep your windows looking smart for longer. Every couple of years you may want to have the frames, bars and sashes repainted to help protect them.
It is important to make sure that the frames of your timber sliding sash windows do not warp otherwise this can affect the position of the sashes in the frame and make it difficult to open the timber windows.
Can the pulley system in my sash window be repaired?
The other area that you will need to check on your timber sash windows is the pulley system that helps you to open and close your sash window with ease. This clever system uses a weight, cords and pulleys is housed within the box of the timber sash. Over time it can deteriorate which may mean that opening your windows can become tricker.
