The 4 Different Types of Wooden Sash Windows
Wooden sash windows have been used for centuries to bring light, air, and beauty into homes. As a timeless window style, wood sash windows can fit almost any home and interior design. But did you know that there are actually four different types of wooden sash windows? Let’s explore the various types so that you can make an informed decision when choosing the right window fo your home.
Type 1: Traditional Wooden Box Sash Windows
These are the classic wooden sash windows that you often see in older homes and historic buildings. With their traditional design, these Box sash windows typically feature two overlapping sliders with weights to help balance them when opening and closing the window. They are usually made of either pine or softwood and can be painted in any colour you choose. The dimensions of the opening in the wall, from brick to brick, is usually about 8cm bigger on each side, on the inside of the brickwork to allow space for the boxes and weights. On the outside you should be left with only 2cm of the frame being visible.
Type 2: Spring Sash windows
These are a modern twist on traditional wooden sash windows. Unlike the classic design, spring sash windows don’t require weights when opening and closing them because they use strong tensioned springs to assist with this. This makes them more suitable for modern buildings that have equal brick work dimensions inside and outside, as the frames are much slimmer than Box Sashes.
Type 3: Tilting Sash Windows
Tilting sash windows are similar to spring sash windows, except they feature a tilt mechanism which means both frames can be opened inwards slightly for cleaning. They come in a variety of colours and finishes and are generally more useful on high floor levels.
Type 4: Fire Escape Sash windows
Fire escape sash windows are designed to open fully and allow easy access for a quick escape in the event of a fire. They are often installed in bedrooms where you want to have the same appearance as a Box Sash window, but with the benefit of opening the whole frame, much like a door, for fire regulations to use as an easy escape. Fire escape sash windows look almost identical to a Box Sash but they feature an emergency release mechanism which allows them to be fully opened from the inside for easy escape. These are especially useful when you need a wood sash window as a fire escape window but only have a small hole in the wall!
