When you are thinking of changing windows, there are many different styles and indeed many different designs that you will be able to choose from. Each will undoubtedly have many different advantages as well as numerous disadvantages, and it is therefore usually down to simple personal preference and needs as to which will end up being the best choice.
However, one of the choices that sees the most enduring popularity are wooden sash windows. This type of window can itself come in many different designs, yet for the most part the wooden sash windows are characterised by wooden slats separating numerous different smaller panes of glass, along with a vertical opening and closing style.
So what are the benefits of this type of window? Well, firstly they look great, and have an aesthetic quality that has endured many different interior design phases. Therefore, such a look will almost certainly be a sound investment, offering you windows that shouldn’t look dated – or more correctly will purposefully look dated, being that they carry with them such a classic look.
Having windows that open and close vertically will be beneficial too. Not only will space be saved by not having your window protruding into the room every time you want to let in a bit of air, but you will also have far more control of just how much the window is opened.
Double glazed sash windows are also far more practical than they might once have been. Traditionally, sash windows would be draughty and let noise easily permeate them, yet people still went for them even with these negative aspects. Today, modern double glazed sash windows are going to be far more efficient at blocking out draughts and noise, and therefore if they were the best choice before, they are almost certainly going to be an even better choice now.
