Sash windows, also known as sliding sash windows or double-hung windows, are a traditional style of window commonly found in older buildings and period homes. They are characterized by their vertically sliding design, consisting of two panels or sashes that slide up and down within the window frame.
The window consists of two framed glass panels, known as sashes, which are typically divided into smaller panes called “lights” or “lites” by glazing bars. The sashes are counterbalanced by weights or springs hidden within the window frame, allowing for smooth and balanced operation.
