Let's Hear It For Sash Windows!

Dating back to as early as the 16th Century the sash slider window has proved to be an important part of the heritage of window designs.

During the Victorian times, Sash Windows were the most popular form of window.

During the past 50 years or so, sash windows had, regrettably, lost their popularity but they are now experiencing a revival.

Research would suggest that, nostalgically, today peoples’ thoughts are taking us back to an era before “boom and bust” and “credit crunch”. Sash windows strike a cord in our hearts of an era when values appeared to be very different.

Christine Grocock, Director, Vantage Windows & Conservatories says: “Sash windows for me take me back to an era when life didn’t seem half so complicated. The rules were simple, you respected the police, doctors and school teachers and if you didn’t do as you were told then you expected to get a clip around the ear. It wasn’t all sweetness and light - there wasn’t any double glazing when I was young and I can remember frost on the inside of the windows!!”

Thankfully, times have moved on. Today, Vertical Sash Windows combine real vintage character with all the benefits of modern materials. Sash or casement windows help to maintain the traditional appearance of a home without sacrificing the convenience of modern opening and security mechanisms. Casement horns are also added to recreate the true look of original casement windows.
