Cotswold Sash Services

A sash window (or box sash) is a traditional style of window made up of two or more movable panels, known as sashes, that hold panes of glass. Instead of opening outward on hinges like a casement window, a sash window slides vertically.

​

A box sash window uses a system of cords, pulleys, and counterweights hidden within the frame to allow the sashes to move smoothly up and down.

​

Key features of sash windows:

  • Classic design – often divided into smaller panes by wooden glazing bars.

  • Heritage value – widely found in Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian homes.

  • Practical ventilation – you can slide both the top and bottom sashes to create airflow.

  • Restoration-friendly – many can be repaired and draught-proofed to modern standards while retaining their historic character.
