Edwardian Sash Windows in Brighton, East Sussex

Edwardian Sash Window Replacement and Restoration

Sash windows were popularised in the Edwardian era, between 1901-1910. These windows are an iconic feature of many properties built during this period. Sash windows are most notable for the 2 pane by 6 pane structure. The Edwardian Sash style of windows was originally designed to allow more light into buildings, making them feel brighter and more spacious.

So, how do you know if your sash windows need replacing?

There is a few things you need to be conscious of when maintaining your sash windows. As these windows typically have wooden frames, they are susceptible to issues brought on by seasonal changes in climate. As temperatures rise during summer, humidity levels also increase, meaning there is elevated levels of moisture in the air. Wood is known as hygroscopic, meaning it’s a material that has the ability to absorb and store moisture in its structure. As the temperatures drop, the moisture in the wood can freeze, which in turn expands the wood, creating unwanted gaps. This can lead to many issues, including undesirable drafts into your home.

You may want to assess your sash windows for any damage before these issues lead on to further problems potentially creating irreparable damage.
