Did you know that traditional, double hung sash windows can provide excellent ventilation? Perhaps some of the very sash windows that we continue to enjoy today helped to keep earlier generations of people safe during the various influenza epidemics that affected the country in the eighteenth century.
The health benefits of the simple but elegant sash window provide yet another reason to protect it for future generations. When looking to replace timber sash windows it is important to ensure that the new sash windows are as energy efficient as possible. At The Sash Window Workshop , our new timber windows are manufactured to provide the modern benefits of double glazing, while preserving the character of your home.
If you are unable to install double glazing, due to planning restrictions, we are also able to manufacture replacement single glazed wooden sash windows or use heritage double glazing, which uses a narrow profile meaning that it is more likely to be approved by planners. If we are installing replacement sash windows in London and the South of England, we will also draught proof the windows on installation, helping to keep your home warm during the winter months.
The glass used in old sashes is very thin, 2mm — 4mm is common. That allows the glazing bars the pieces of wood that separate each pane of glass to also be thin and light.
Modern double glazed units by comparison have two panes of glass obviously and an air gap in between. This is usually filled with an inert gas like Krypton, and it is this air gap that produces most of the thermal benefits. Each pane will typically be 4mm thick and the air gap anything from 6mm to 20mm. That means a 4mm pane of glass, a 12mm air gap and closing the sandwich, another 4mm pane making a total thickness of 20mm.
These are much wider and heavier than the original single pane glass and do not fit in the glazing bars. Indeed, if you routed out enough wood to slide the new unit in the bar would simply snap. You must also consider the total weight of the sashes, the lead counter weights hidden in the box frame are weighted precisely to aid a smooth opening a closing action.
