- The advantages of wooden sash windows
- OK, what’s the best company option in the London area?
A sash window is made up of two glassed panelled frames placed on above the other. Usually, the bottom frame can be slid upward to open the window. Victorian town houses provide fine examples of this simple but effective and long lasting design.
Well, advantages are numerous enough, here are a few:
For many the memory of old and decaying sash windows that require super human strength to open and close, really is a turn-off!
Let’s not forget that countless numbers of these windows have been poorly maintained over, possibly, decades. On a positive note, it’s testament to their durability that, in some cases, after a hundred years they are still in situ and useable!
Carrying on from my last point, wood is actually much more durable and long-lasting than PVC!
Wood may require more frequent maintenance, such as the odd lick of paint and it’ll last a lifetime. And of course, a coat of paint can change the whole ambiance of a property or a room.
The problems occur when simple maintenance is not carried out, the wood then becomes exposed to the elements, swells and even starts to rot.
Do not judge wooden sash windows by the, sadly, neglected and ancient eye-sores often seen in habitually rented bedsits and student accommodations … there I said it!
Modern wooden sash frames are particularly ‘attractive’, in that they can reflect any mood or look the customer desires, from period to specifically post-modern … assuming the installer is sufficiently competent of course.
PVC sash windows do fill a gap in the market, they tend to be cheaper, easily maintained but not so long-lived, imaginative nor flexible as their wooden counterpart.
A well looked after wooden sash window is a functional friend for life.
