5 Reasons Why You Should Invest in Sliding Sash Windows

"Sliding sash windows have the added benefit of looking quite traditional. They have a very classic aesthetic and this gives homeowners a chance to maintain a period look without compromising on comfort and efficiency."

If you’re contemplating new windows, you might be surprised at the degree of variety available. Windows frames really do come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, so you have a chance to match the style to the nature of the space. Bay windows, for example, are a popular choice for homes which lead out onto big gardens.

They are very broad and provide a great view which can be very handy in a county as picturesque as Suffolk. Basement windows, on the other hand, are much smaller and designed to add light and ventilation to unconventional spaces. Sliding sash windows are another option and they are growing in prominence because they offer light, airflow, and a stylish aesthetic.

This guide to the benefits of sash windows will help you decide if they are the right choice for your home.

Depending on where the window is positioned, they are quite secure too, with sash restrictors fitted as standard the window can be safely left open to a maximum of 100mm, this feature is also useful with young children as it would prevent a fall from a low window.
