The classic arrangement of any sash window has three panes across by two up on each of two sash, giving a six over six panel window, although this is by no means a fixed rule. Sash windows may be fitted with simplex hinges, which allow the window to be locked into hinges on one side while the counterbalance on the other side is detached, allowing the window to be opened for escape or cleaning.

BEAUTIFUL CHARACTERISTICS OF SASH WINDOWS A window which is made of one or more movable panels, that form a frame to hold panes of glass, which are often separated from other panes by glazing bars is called sash window. It is also called hung sash windows. 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.
Previously, these sash windows were made of wood and over time tend to warp and rot. They used to allow air leakage which means they allow warm air to escape from a residence and cold external air to enter the home. Presently, sash windows are made from many materials, the most popular now being UPVC. Today’s sash UPVC windows have all the elegance of yesterday’s wooden sash windows. They feature low maintenance and never need to repaint, and come with enhanced weather protection which means you can turn your heating down, and never experience drafty windows, rattles or jammed windows. The classic arrangement of any sash window has three panes across by two up on each of two sash, giving a six over six panel window, although this is by no means a fixed rule. Sash windows may be fitted with simplex hinges, which allow the window to be locked into hinges on one side while the counterbalance on the other side is detached, allowing the window to be opened for escape or cleaning. A significant advantage of sash windows is that they provide efficient cooling of interiors during warm weather. Opening both the top and bottom of a sash window by equal amounts
allows warm air at the top of the room to escape, thus drawing relatively cool air from outside into the room through the bottom opening. Sash windows are relatively high maintenance, but offer advantages in return (style, aesthetics, abides by laws (relating to older houses and buildings), natural resources etc.). However, well-maintained sash windows should last generations without replacement of parts. It is also possible to clean all the glass from within the building by sliding the two panes to different positions.
