The function of this type of window allows for a very efficient way of cooling the home during the summer, as opposed to a casement window that simply open on hinges.
A wooden casement window will open to allow ventilation, this is true but with traditional double glazed wooden sash windows one is able to open the top sash to allow warm air within the room to escape whilst the cooler air can be allowed to enter via opening of the lower sash window; Simply put, hot air rises leaving the cooler air below.
 
Manufacturing timber box sash windows is a real craft, it is not just simple joinery there are many factors to consider right form the outset. Measurements prior to manufacture need to be very precise and it is not just the length and width that need to be considered, it is also the depth.

We have spoken to some of London’s leading estate agents and have discovered that overall regardless of which part of London you live in, a home with traditional timber double glazed windows will out sell similar properties with Upvc windows fitted consistently. Not only do wood windows add substantial financial value to the home they also have that WOW factor that in our opinion, could never be achieved with Upvc or aluminium windows.
