Sash windows allow:-
a.) Air in - while keeping burglars out.
b.) Air in - without letting children out.
c.) Straightforward escape (in a fire).
d.) Shutters.
Why don't more houses have sash windows?

About Me
- Susan Harwood
- It's one of those odd things . . . I live in my little house by the sea and listen to the radio and reckon I know best about more-or-less everything . . . as I keep telling the news-casters, the policiticians and all the experts interviewed there. I shout quite loud - but I'm beginning to suspect they can't hear! Sometimes, I write to my MP . . . but there's always more to say. So, here it is!

I read your blog with interest, all I make is sash windows so yes I am bias towards them, they are the ideal window because in answer to your questions,
Air in - while keeping burglars out.sash windows in replacements dont need vents they can have two stage keeps, that means they can allow background ventilation without risking security
b.) Air in - without letting children out.Thats easy too, limit stops allow even more circulation of air(rapid ventilation) whilst limiting the opening to 100mm, (not enough for little johnny's head!
c.) Straightforward escape (in a fire).nothing could be easier than a sliding sash window in a fire
d.) Shutters.
Why don't more houses have sash windows? becasue we have thicker glass, shutters were used to protect delecate 2/3mm glass from being damaged by hail storms.
whats more sash windows dont open into the room (so they dont affect curtains like other styles do0 and dont open out wards so children can play safely outside!
we are keen to revive the popularity of sash windows
