  1. sash window

    A sash window is a type of window that consists of one or two movable panels, known as "sashes", that can slide vertically or horizontally to open or close the window. These panels hold panes of glass, which are often separated from other panes or "lights" by thin wooden glazing bars. This type of window is commonly found in older buildings, particularly those built in the Georgian and Victorian eras.

  1. Sash window

    A sash window or hung sash window is made of one or more movable panels or "sashes" that form a frame to hold panes of glass, which are often separated from other panes by narrow muntins. Although any window with this style of glazing is technically "a sash", the term is used almost exclusively to refer to windows where the glazed panels are opened by sliding vertically, or horizontally in a style known as a "Yorkshire light", sliding sash or sash and case. The oldest surviving examples of sash windows were installed in England in the 1670s, for example at Ham House. The sash window is often found in Georgian and Victorian houses, and the classic arrangement has three panes across by two up on each of two sashes, giving a "six over six" panel window, although this is by no means a fixed rule. Innumerable late Victorian and Edwardian suburban houses were built in England using standard sash window units approximately 4 feet in width, but older, hand-made units could be of any size, as the image illustrates. It consists of an upper and lower sash that slide vertically in separate grooves in the side jambs or in full-width metal weatherstripping. This type of window provides a maximum face opening for ventilation of one-half the total window area. Each sash is provided with springs, counterweights, or compliant weatherstripping to hold it in place in any location.
