Heritage windows
Sash windows are a design classic. They've been around since the 17th century and they've changed very little since then. The original design being two glazed sashes, which slide vertically in a timber frame, each supported by cords that are balanced with metal weights. The first examples were clunky affairs with thick glazing and heavy frames, but by the 18th century, it was possible to produce thinner, larger sheets of glass and thus the more elegant Georgian-style sashes. Then, in the 1850s, along came plate glass; and glaziers never looked back. In theory, those original Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian examples should still be going strong; properly and regularly maintained, a sash window should last pretty well indefinitely unfortunately Sash windows are not energy efficient & can rattle in high winds, be drafty & need frequent care.
Current building regulations state that all new or replacement windows, including sashes, have to be double-glazed, except in listed buildings.
