sash windows

Sash windows are a type of window commonly found in traditional buildings, characterized by their sliding panels. They consist of two frames, or "sashes," that can move vertically up and down within the window frame. This design allows for easy opening and closing, providing ventilation and light. Sash windows are often divided into smaller panes using wooden or metal grids. They are appreciated for their aesthetic appeal and historic significance, and while they can be found in various styles, they are particularly associated with Georgian and Victorian architecture. Regular maintenance is essential for their longevity.
