What Are Sash Windows?
Sash windows are traditional windows made of one or more movable panels, or “sashes,” that form a frame to hold panes of glass. They are designed to slide vertically or horizontally within the window frame to open and close.
Sash windows are a popular choice, known for their classic and elegant appearance, commonly found in older or period-style homes. They provide good ventilation and can be a stylish addition to both traditional and modern architectural designs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Mock Sash Windows
What is the difference between a flush sash window and a sliding sash window?
Flush and sliding sash windows are both similar window styles but are in fact different. Flush windows are made from a single sash where the window does not come out further than the window frame and sit ‘flush’ against the property, and can be opened inwards or outwards. Sliding sash windows are made from two sash windows which are stacked vertically and can be opened by sliding them up or down.
How do sash windows work?
Traditionally, a sash window is made up of two sashes which slide up and down vertically to open and close. The sashes are the frame of the window which hold glass, which is usually double glazing nowadays. They slide up and down, using a pulley and weight mechanism hidden in the sash window frame. When you open a sash window, the weight counterbalances with a weight inside the window frame. Read more about ‘what are sash windows?‘ in our in-depth guide.
What is the difference between a casement window and a sash window?
Casement windows open on a hinge outwards, whereas a sash window slides up or down on a sliding mechanism. Casement windows and sash windows are the most popular window styles, they both provide a very different style to the overall look of your home. Sash windows are ideal for period homes and conservation areas for a timeless feel. Casement windows provide a modern aesthetic and add visual appeal to homes of any style or age.
How much is a sash window?
The average cost of a sash window installation depends on a number of factors such as the material, style, structure, and number of windows. Sash windows add value to any home by increasing the market value, and provide a beautiful aesthetic feature so it’s certainly worth the extra cost.

Professional, skilled, great communication from the on-site team - honestly, the best workmen I’ve ever had. They left the place tidy and neat. Thanks guys! They did a great job on a dreary, winter’s day with a smile. I love the new porch, which was a decent price. Honestly though, the sales guy Tom and the crew of Cal, Jake and Aaron were great. After having had a bad experience before with a different company, I’ll be using Phair Windows to replace my windows in the near future as well.
