Double Glazed Sash Windows Prices Guide

What is the average cost of new or replacement windows?

Using a Sash Window

Gone are the days when you had to fight to open a sash window. These days the vertical sliding panes move up and down in precision tracks designed for ease of movement.

Another older fault was with the counterweights build into the frames. These used to be cast iron weights attached by ropes & pulley wheels to the window.

Although you can still get timber sash windows operated by counterweights, most UPVC examples make use of spring loaded tensioners.

UPVC sash window can also be built to have a tiling function which, not only provides for ventilation, but also makes the outside glass very easy to access for cleaning.

Coloured Sash Window & Glazing Options

Timber Box Sash units, as you would expect, can be painted or stained to almost any colour you like.

UPVC versions will give you a choice of up to about 10 or so (depending on the supplier), such as light oak, Irish oak, rosewood & mahogany.

Wood-grain surfaces are also popular as they recreate the look of a traditional timber window.

Glass can be clear or opaque, with options for patterned or leaded lights (panes) & Double Glazing will come as standard. Glass can also be upgraded to low emissivity energy saving glass or even Argon filled sealed units for extra energy efficiency.
