SASH WINDOWS VERSUS CASEMENT WINDOWS

In contrast to casement windows, sash windows do not use a hinge to open. Two windows are installed with one, or both, being able to slide vertically up behind the other. To keep the window in place there are cords and counterbalances that allow the window to be opened by any amount for varying ventilation needs. Classic, old fashioned sash windows do not move in any other direction than simply up and down, but more modern designs support horizontal or vertical movement, and also offering tilting designs for simpler cleaning.

A significant benefit of a sash window over a casement fitting is its better method of ventilation for a room. You can establish a convection air flow within your room, with warm air exiting through the upper gap, and cooler air entering through the gap at the bottom, in sash windows where both the top and bottom sash can slide. This gain is especially helpful in hot summer months and helps to increase personal comfort levels around your home in Barton-upon-Humber.

To give additional peace of mind for any householder in Barton-upon-Humber and prevent any potential intruder from opening your traditional sash windows, security measures can be increased by adding threaded bolt screws, stops, double or reinforced glazing and locks. The installation of a frame to frame sash lock is an effective form of security for sash windows in Barton-upon-Humber. This uses a bar or bolt which secures the bottom frame to the upper sash and stops either window from being opened. It enhances security even further because it is not accessible from outside by any potential intruders.

TYPES OF SASH WINDOWS IN BARTON-UPON-HUMBER

Looking at the various different kinds of sash windows that are on offer on the internet and in sales brochures can be a bit baffling. It's easier to think that there are just three primary designs: Edwardian, Georgian and Victorian. Each one of these three designs has their own individual variations which can be adapted for the layout your particular home in Barton-upon-Humber.

Georgian - The traditional design of the Georgian sash window is "6 over 6", which means it comprises 6 independent panes in the top sash, over 6 independent panes in the bottom sash. There is a Georgian-variant which sees a sash window which can have different size panes in the top and bottom, as long as one half of the window has 6 panes, while a Half-Georgian is an adaption of the Georgian with a single pane in one half, and 6 panes in the other.

Victorian - The Victorian sash window features a 2 over 2 panel design with a centre bar, asymmetric (3 over 2, or 2 over 3 etc) variations are also available.

Edwardian - Similar in style to a Half-Georgian, the Edwardian sash window features a 6 over 2 arrangement.

Sash Window Trickle Vents Barton-upon-Humber

If you have sash windows fitted in your home or business premises in Barton-upon-Humber, you must make sure that every room has adequate ventilation. Nowadays we all seem to focus on warm, well insulated homes, however a certain level of ventilation is vital to prevent problems such as black mould, condensation and penetrating damp.

The easiest way to enable ventilation without having to open your windows is to install trickle vents. If you have decided on uPVC sash windows they will typically already have trickle vents, however professional installation may be required for some other types of sash window.

Installed at the top of a sash window, a trickle vent allows air to pass through from outside and "trickle" straight down the window panes, which helps to stop condensation building-up on the glass, and reduce the problems that are associated with this phenomenon.

You should try to buy low-profile and flush fitting sash window trickle vents if you can, so that you do not spoil the smooth lines of your windows. These are far less conspicuous than some trickle vent designs and appear much neater once installed.
