Sash windows on a house in Dorset

What Is The Difference Between Casement And Sash Windows?

Casement windows are hinged on one side and open outwards, whereas sash windows have window sashes that slide vertically up and down to open the window. This offers a traditional design and is great for increasing airflow into your home, as both the top and bottom sashes can be opened as required.


Do Sash Windows Work On Modern Homes?

While sash windows are usually associated with older properties, you can get modern sash windows that will look incredible in newer homes. UPVC sliding sash windows are often considered the most modern style, but with custom colours for the window frame and other upgrades from RILU Windows & Doors, you can transform traditional sash windows into charming modern solutions.


How Much Do Sash Windows Cost?

The price of new windows always depends on the size of your home, how many windows you need and any customisation options you choose. Generally, sash windows are slightly more expensive than other window styles, but they offer exceptional thermal efficiency and security, making them great value for homeowners.


Do You Need Planning Permission To Replace Sash Windows?

Like most windows, replacement sash windows are usually classed as a permitted development and, therefore, do not require planning permission. However, if your home is a listed building, in a conservation area, or you are looking to add new sash windows to your property, then you may need permission from your local authority.
